It's interesting because I was a gymnast and have trained in many other forms of dance (ballet, modern, jazz, tap, salsa, hip hop, and even a little burlesque) so if anything is going to give me an "edge" it's probably that. When I started going to pole classes my form was totally off, because I was self taught and a had learned moves to do them quickly and not necessarily safely. I fell from a layback at a club two years ago and still can't do them in class or practice even though most inversions don't freak me out at all.
I think what I'll do is tell my main instructor and judge by her reaction how much of a thing I want it to be. If they still refuse to let me compete I'll decide from there what to do, but I'll probably just at least with be open with everybody about being a dancer. In the end it might make my time at the studio harder, but after talking with all of y'all I think it would be worse to keep hiding in silence. I guess worst case scenario I'll start a performing troupe with all the disaffected (ex)strippers, ha!

I appreciate all of the advice, thank you!
I may just ask my primary instructor and see what she says. If I didn't have to sign a piece of paper saying I wasn't at any time an exotic dancer I might just keep it to myself, but that just always worries me.

Thanks Tasha!
HellOnHeels: I guess I would just feel bad about lying. Also if they were ever to find out (my fellow students go to A LOT of strip clubs) it would be grounds for stripping me of any even a small title I might get. Not that I really think I have any chance of winning, but on the off chance.
