I first started dancing as a way to finance my college education.  I decided to stay as an undergrad and get another degree and being a waitress was just not providing me with the income required to get by.

A friend recommended that I try dancing (doing bikini shows) and this progressed into topless and then nude dancing. Because I started out doing private parties, strip-a-grams, etc., I was pretty used to erotic dancing by the time I first got up on stage in a club.  I wasn't really nervous like most girls are, but I was intimidated by all of the other beautiful girls at the clubs.

I think the thing about erotic dancing that appeals most to me is the glamour of it.   What other job pays you to play dress up and have fun?  It also keeps me in shape and keeps me out of trouble. It makes me feel good to know that men are attracted to me.  There are some nights when I am feeling insecure about my physical appearance, but after a shift in a club, and some compliments from the customers, I am feeling better.   It turns me on to know that I am turning other people on.   To me, the ultimate power is being able to influence people’s emotions and there is not a more primitive emotion than lust (must be the Psychology degree)!
