Push it to the limit!



I cannot believe it is already June 2011. The Summer dance season officially started last Sunday. I must say... I was put to the test. I reported to Vinyl at 7 pm and the rooftop already had a crowd building up. Schedule was made for a total of 6 dancers. First set began at 8 pm. I changed along with fellow dancers Kim, Chelsea, Lauren, and Taylor. I took the box at 8 pm for my first half hour set. The feeling that takes over me when I dance is something that is very hard to explain. The music, the beats, the rhythm just take over my body. After dancing for half hour, I realize other dancers were switching sets and I still remained on the box on the rooftop inside. My relief had not shown up. I continued to dance until the next change hoping this was only some minor mix up. To my surprise a dancer did not show up and all my thirty minute sets turned into hour long sets. I definitely shook my thang more than I expected, pushing thru and thriving off of the large crowds energy and the continuous club bangers that DJ Tatiana and DJ Kimberly S spun all night long. I am proud to say that I survived and a person never truly knows what they are capable of, until they are unexpectedly put to the test.





I danced the night away and found a few moments of break time to hang out with my family and friends who came down to get their party on and show support. That means the world to me! Just one note to the club goers of Denver. ATTENTION PLEASE: Go Go dancers are entertainers, as our checks clearly state. Our small 4x4 box is barely large enough for us to dance on, more less collect your empty drink cups and beer bottles. I spilled a handful of drinks that were placed on the box during my sets causing one female to get noticeably upset and knock over my glass of ice cold water while rolling her eyes at me. Excuse me? Really? WTF? Why are you angry with me? I am on the clock working, dancing my ass off to entertain you. The least you can do is find a trash can! When folks set items on the box, I am not sure if they realize it can endanger my safety. By the nights end the box was soaked in a mixture of sweat, water, beer and various alcoholic beverages. I could have easily slipped and hurt myself. Fortunately I did not. Night was a success, and I didnt expect anything less. I'M JUST GETTING STARTED!
