hey ladies.. due to some unexpected expenses (my dog had emergency surgery this new years) we are dead broke, so i started dancing last week, part-time.
i am extremely sore and tired! i don't nap, i have a day job (self-employed at a business that is doing terrible in this economy), and need any advice i can get. i took a vitamin last night, stretch A LOT, etc. help!! thanks!!
I am sure you will get a lot of offers to massage you but for a more serious answer go to Stripperweb.com.
JJ, in an Email TUSCL_Brother was just asking about you. Wanted to know if you were still posting. Got a message for him?
Consider adding some Leucine and D-Ribose to your diet, 2500 mg of each in some kind of protein shake is easiest. This will help somewhat with the soreness until your muscles build up.
Potassium is great for muscle soreness. Bananas are great. Sometimes though, it just takes time for muscles to get used to new activities.
wb judyjudy, are you still dancing?
Shadow.....please tell Brother I say hi. VM- haven't been out in a little while but I can tell it won't be long. Was tough during the holidays. Spoke with management at both the Henry's and Bogarts as well and all 3 have told me I am welcome anytime. It feels good that they will welcome me back with just a phone call........well I have taken care of Don in the past so I try to make his decisions easy!!!!!!
Hello, Picksydusst!
It's nice to have a female participating on these forums. Actually, there are only 2 or 3 that post here sometimes. The rest of the members are all men.
For practical advice regarding dancing and stripping, you may want to try the forums at StripperWeb.com. That is a forum which is mostly women who might be able to help you more than we can.
I would still suggest you visit these boards, though. The two websites have very different 'cultures' and it would be good for you to know both sides/perspectives.
picksydusst82: Happy lapping. Hope you find a club where the patrons are rich, generous, and well-mannered!
where are you from? I will come and give you free massages... in fact I will pay you to give you massage!
thank you so much ladies!!!! i'm in atlanta, dancing at a club my girlfriend has been at for many years and loves it (has regulars, etc) but man.. i was NOT ready for the soreness. my body feels like i ran a 5k marathon lol.
i used to be a cheerleader so i stretch a lot anyways, today i feel a bit better but dancing on a broken toe is NO FUN! DON'T BREAK TOES lol!
samsung1: BRING IT ON lol!!!!!
digitech- i just signed up there and saw a newbie part on the forum, THANK YOU!!!
I could get crass with an answer here, but won't. Would hate to chase away one of our few ladies. Welcome aboard.
"i used to be a cheerleader"
Oh, my...do you have any picutures of yourself in your cheerleader outfit that you could post?
LOL, steve229
Ha I do but I'd have to scan them and they aren't too "sexy" as I went to a private school and skirts had to be no shorter than your fingertips lol.
For those of you that don't check all of the reviews.

picksydusst82 January 10, 2011 Visited on: Friday Evening Dancers on Shift: 25-99
Rating Physical Club: 9 Dancer Quality: 9 $ Value: 9 Overall : 9.00i work there, and after being/visiting all the clubs in atlanta, i love it there. the girls aren't as catty, we'll work with you on prices, and after the "review" where all the girls get on the main stage, you get 2 for 1 dances!
dances are $10 a song, and we get fully nude. 3 dances per girl when we are on stage, and we KNOW HOW TO DANCE!! poles on each stage (4 stages, and 1 bar stage), and honestly, out of all the places i have visited, the girls here are the truest, nicest of them all.
come on in and visit us! we have a variety of girls- tattooed, skinny, HOT, thicker, whatever suits your style!
Sorry, I don't share your enthusiasm for this club. Switch to Follies and I'll look you up.
picksydusst82, is that you in your avatar?
Yes that's me- I hid my face due to by day job...
Shadowcat- I heard good n bad on follies but ill check it out one day :) that is if I ever get a free second in life! Lol
Ahh, but picksy in your review you said that you had visited all Atlanta clubs. Did you really mean all 43 of them? If so, you are way ahead of me.
Never thought steve would ask that question!
Pinkpony north n south, cheetah and mardin,,,4 :)
Rypo meant four lol
*typo... Sorry I use a blkberry to post a lost and the keys are teeny!
Busted!
"Yes that's me- I hid my face due to by day job..."
Phew! I worried I had witnessed the outcome of a genetic cross between a beautiful woman and a dark, geometric figure...
ctqwerty- lol... i have a Facebook that shows my face i just started that is a "fake" one for dancing if you want to see.... message me :)
also... to all, i typically use the blkberry when i wake up bc i get up at around 7am for day job so if you see typos and such... sorry! i swear i'm not a dummy (i hope!)
well the best thing for soreness is rest. obviously when dancing you're using different muscles than you normally use. even though i work out and do motion excercizes i have soreness every time i water ski for the 1st time during the summer because i'm using muscles that don't normally use every day. you will build up those muscles after awhile and you won't be sore anymore or as sore but it will take some time. taking a vitamin won't help at all except maybe as a placebo effect.
oh, and welcome to tuscl :) it's good to see you participating ;)
I like CL's my fav kinda gals.

picksydusst82 welcome to tuscl - soreness drink plenty of liquids gatorade is good but water is even better. if you drink alcohol that will really mess your muscles up
Try doing more of a sensual routine in stead of a high energy type dance........
