Yes, I have read some, trying to find exploitation. I have heard the pro arguments. And passed on many in my post. I have yet to read a compelling case for exploitation. And I know a few dancers. Girl next door types, smart, vivacious, college girls. In talking to them about their jobs, there is not much hint of exploitation. They are in control, make good money, are pursuing their professional careers via the funding and flexible time this short term club work provides. And seem quite comfortable with themselves, well balanced, flexible, creative. Not that you need to be a dancer to obtain such, but from what i can see and get to in conversations, it has helped them relate to people better, improved their conversation and socializing skills, help them oversome social shyness in one case, and made them very comfortable in their own skins. They have lost prior hang-ups and obsessions with looks. Some girls I am sure don't have the best of experiences as dancers. But how were they prior to becoming a dancer? ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
