My Story of How I Started Stripping and Dancing in the Adult Entertainment Industry
My name is Cherry, I am an 18 year old exotic dancer for a private company based in Atlanta, Georgia. I started dancing soon after my birthday and haven't stopped since! These are some bullet points of topics and real life situations I couldn't seem to find and thus I wish to enlighten for you and any beginners out there reading this adult blog looking for resources and or simply a platform to relate on.
Trial and Error
To remember that any aspects and challenges we will inevitably face in life is a learning experience. Give yourself some slack! At the end of the day it's all about understanding the obstacle you are encountering with an open mind and acknowledging your position attached to this setback. There is no need to rush yourself to become something overnight because we are all a continual creation of our aspirations.
I found myself trying to become something I wasn't (Which I plan to touch over in "Private Parties / Club Life" and "Understanding Your Goal VS Following A Goal",) and it took a lot of trial and error within myself alongside my career to focus in on working towards my personal priorities with being careful to my craft. I believe in individualism to be a beautiful representation of what you can bring to the table with your work and what you bring home.
Accepting each 'failure', for lack of a better term, as an opportunity to learn what to do in the future.
I have definitely bought the wrong dance wear and had to push through those occasional mistakes but make the best of it. Next time, I won't pick an easy route but invest for the long run. My first night dancing was an 8 hour shift at a club in brand new heels, without socks or wrapping a toe or two. Although, I prefer to wear thigh high to comfort my feet a bit...I did go home that night with blisters on my ankles and toes.
Don't overthink those mistakes because there will be a solution to most learning curves. I found wrapping my toes and wearing thick socks did the job.
Expectations And Reality
A sufficient amount of controversy connected to the exotic entertainment industry, in my opinion coming from the perspective of the dancer, has to do with a lot of expectations versus the reality. There is more to it. More to the entertainer as an individual , whether it be a male stripper or a female stripper for instistance. We still put our pants on the same way you do. There is a nice medium of appreciation for that concept.
I was taken aback of how many humanitarians I came across during the beginning stages of my
exotic work.
Anxious to the idea of being 'alone in it' or that maybe I'd become numb for some mysterious reason, I initially thought but quickly understood I simply had to take a step back from the self-sabotage mentality. There is nothing wrong with staying within your own path and loving that security. Although, I found myself disappointed with my own path that it was never enough to the standard I thought to be the expectation. I was focused too much on where I wanted to be and forgot how much I am still learning and how far I've come. Which is the humbling reality of almost every experience I have encountered in my daily life. Especially dancing, I have broken habitual self-sabotaging patterns and worries I take with me to this day. Being grateful for challenges to improve your craft and confidence is empowering.
Drugs
No matter where we go, as we grow and observe throughout this journey we take in your personal lifes and in the work we practice there will be exposure to all lifestyles and barriers we may sincerely relate to or are simply unfamiliar with. I myself, year and almost two months clean now, would like to capitalize on inner conflict. All those feelings and questions you carry are valid and normal.
Each day is taking everything at your own pace, and creating your boundaries attached to those confrontations but visualising your progress following you within the days that will rain and will shine is a comforting balance between yourself and your work. You are not alone in establishing qualities of indapancy from your struggle(s) and still make a living, happy and healthy. Take your pride in the commitment of this balance, because you made it this far and only you can subject yourself to the unwanted. You set your goals and boundaries. I am very happy and healthy working for a company promoting and lovingly encouraging sobriety,
Private Parties / Club Life
Coming from a club to a private company. I want to share my own feelings on positions of self-drive and benefits of indapant work. It is rather rewarding to be in a circumstance of flexible and manageable hours and reaching goals up to your own limitations. Working for myself, I found to be very freeing to say the least. Club life was very intriguing on a physical aspect to staying accountable on working out and gaining my upper body strength doing pole work was always an aspiration of mine I've had for a long time. I obtained communicational skills that I did not know I had the ability to learn and as well bring into my personal life! I am confident with my verbal representation now.
Although, I don't know if I'd ever have interest in going back to any specific establishment. Without any negative connotation. But I definitely enjoy the
freedom of traveling and the exposure to new private parties with having a clientele that is energetically there for me is inevitably a beneficial experience for an active mind. Organization of priorities can be as fun as you make it. Just as I bring up "
Trial and Error", it is all about finding your outlet that works best to coincide with your flow!
Understanding Your Goal VS Following A Goal
To conclude, for my last subject I am going to touch on is all about goals. Goals! What is the goal for you? What do you want and what you are putting in will be the true turnover. Giving yourself a set reminder of short term and long goals. This is a positive attribute to you spiritually for peace of mind and your end goal. I found writing out all my goals, to a daily regimen or the next 5 years kept me in a clear mind. Staying proactive towards your future. Dancing has been the best self discipline towards almost all of my generalized goals, it forced a side of my mind to think outside of the box and pushed me to want more out of my goals with comfortability and ease. I can't take back any of the experiencing and lessons I've endured, all for the best!
