it turned out i had something unique and i could do both choreography and tricks that nobody else could do at la. she's been happy to pass on that growing experience at the flying steps academy in berlin. have that committee i somehow i did a lot of commercial dancing before training full time as an athlete, and going to meet the what did you want to say the mustang of michelle to man job at this one job where it wasn't clear beforehand. whatever. supposed to do, i had to manzona and the way i was treated and talked to make me feel uncomfortable, fallen is especially as a woman does being the hold what to do, what he has. what about you? a happy customer come by was once handed a costume, a silver mini skirt with leather. it didn't even glitter at le zubin, and with his silver panties underneath and a silver bikini, i never felt so uncomfortable. new owenberg through the find up voice that job made me realize where my boundaries, where some had my jobs. and after that i'd refuse,

which probably got me on the wrong side of the od choreographer. but they didn't want eulu what they wanted, just any dancer kept my actors go for. sometimes i think it's about showing as much skin as possible from job, which is exactly what they said with a one job agreement. we had these wicked outfits in the customer, was this big, fancy car brand. i fancy law got it and they said no 95 percent of the audience are men and they want to see your skin thus lady. and that was the message industry and she get ahead in the industry. you need to build yourself the shield to say this is me and this is what i'm about. and these are my boundaries on that. if the, if on doesn't mind again. so we have to share with the sal is good. i like the hokey styles, me, but that's not me. of the finish. i more the kind of was upset i a little there was so happy in life as comfy and i'm for thank you for coming along. and thank you for your input, it's been great when it will and the scenic
