Anna laughed at his response. "Well as a doctor it's okay for you to have two left feet - as long as you don't have two left hands."
Cade's question of how she got in the business wasn't an unexpected one especially since they were getting closer. She didn't mind answering it. They weren't in a relationship. Anna wasn't certain if things would go that way or not. It wasn't a discussion they needed to have now, but generally it was an unspoken rule that those you slept with or were in a relationship with were not patrons at the Club. There were a lot of reasons for that, but jealousy was the primary one.
Anna didn't get the sense that he was judging her - he was just curious - so she didn't mind answering. "It started in college. Going to a prestigious dance school like Julliard meant that a lot of the people I studied under and with were fairly stuck up, snobbish, and a little elitist. I was different. I like ballet and I'm good at ballet. I still practice, but I like all forms of dance. It was..." She looked up, thinking. "Sort of like a rebellion. I sort of picked what was the opposite and started doing it. I found I liked it and was good at it. I didn't have to pay for college, so everything I made, I got to keep. Made a lot of money. It wasn't the point of it, just a good perk. I have no idea if that makes sense."
She leaned on her arm and rested her head in her hand, looking at Cade. "That said, I don't think the sexy dancing is a lifelong career for me. I'll eventually lay down the lingerie and flower crown for something else." She smiled a bit thinking about her dreams. She had made a lot of money and had a lot stashed away. Sometime, maybe they'd become real. Among them was finding someone and having a family, but that dream had little to do with his question. "I haven't told anyone this yet, but I want to start a dance studio. Just somewhere people can come to learn how to dance - different styles - people of all ages. No one turned away. No elite snobbery or this dance is better than that one. Just...all dance is beautiful...you only need to find the one that suits you." her eyes lit up as she talked about it, but she had doubts. Doubts that she was good enough and doubts that she could make it work. "Maybe that's more than I can do. I don't know. But I can dream, can't I?"
