Congratulations on being selected for the show! I assume you applied to it and not that someone else entered your name. This is an opportunity for exposure – Good and Bad. Many people have opened Pandora's box of fame with reality television appearances. Be ready! I am a new vertical athlete, no dance background, and I am innately shy until I get to know everyone in a new setting. I would consider how the show selected you. Do they want a chef to serve hot food or do they want a hot dancer to spice up a show based on serving food? T.V. will exploit anything and anyone for ratings. But most important is want you desire to get out of doing this show – If you want to a chance to showcase what athletic talent you have then polish your pole for a cooking show. If you want a chance to showcase what a good cook you are then know that you have the option to make banana splits or do banana splits. If the show did not make contestants have a cook-off then I would not think they are seriously trying to discover the next Anna Olsen or Guy Rubino. Just have fun and leave yourself the option to pole or not after you get on camera. Congratulations again!
