It had been a long time since I had the chance to relax and perform in front of an audience like this. It was incredibly exciting. I was a natural dancer and had once been a part of a dance troupe, but responsibilities, lack of time, and financial constraints prevented me from continuing. So I said goodbye to my dream of becoming a professional dancer. With bills to pay, a crazy family to survive, and now escaping the mafia, my life couldn’t get any more difficult. Unlike me, the other dancers still had shows to do, so I was the only one who could leave, and now all I wanted was to rest. My entire body ached, not to mention my butt, thanks a lot to Roman. It all seemed easy, but pole dancing required a lot of upper-body strength. It required coordination, using more than one body part.
