Im working on a chapter called "The Auditions"
This is a chapter that I hope will shed light on what it was like to be chosen for a show. It was not an easy process.
First, you had to have a beautiful body and face. Second, your talent had to exceed what the producer or choreographer was looking for. Third, you had to be compliant and willing to do extraordinary things. Meaning, you had to be a triple threat.
There were always loads of dancers at the auditions and this could lead to steep competition among your peers. You could be friends with someone one minute while warming up the next you were a rival once the audition started.
I rarely left an audition without being kept. 99% of the time I was chosen, which led to jealousy and hatred from my fellow dancers.
I say sorry, but not sorry. It was a way of life and everyone eventually got over it.
In my book, I will reveal all the details and back lash. Plus why I did what I did to dance in the biggest shows in Las Vegas.

So, I have been working on my story "The Las Vegas Showgirl" and Im getting depressed. When I go back and tell stories of my experiences it is not always pleasant. Being onstage and dancing in all the shows was amazing, but some of the avenues that got me into a show weren't always a glorious moment. I had to do many things that were unethical in today's standards. I am trying to paint a picture of the lifestyle of a Showgirl in the 1980-1990-2000's that most wont believe or understand.
Dont get me wrong, everything I encountered I accepted and endured. I endured for the Passion of dance.
Being in some of the biggest shows in Las Vegas had its ups and downs.
Im working diligently on my story. I believe that readers will want to know what when on behind the scenes as a Vegas performer. I hope that my story will be entertaining and delivered with compassion and excitement!
I think a rough draft will be available in 6 months.
