I have been asked more times than I can remember at Trade Shows like the Nightclub & Bar Show or Mobile Beat DJ Show about the dancers in our Shadow Dancers series. What kind of girls are they? Are they porn stars or strippers like Jenna Jameson or Celebs like Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton, singers ala Jessica Simpson or are they just dancers? Who are they?

In the 8 years now that we have been shooting our trademarked Shadow Dancers series I have interviewed a couple of hundred dancers. We saw early on that to be talented enough to be a Shadow Dancers you had to have several key attributes.
1. The ability to dance, uninhibited.
2. The ability to dance in a certain style.
3. A pretty great body, of all types and being confident with your shape.
4. Awareness of "How To" dance behind a shadow screen.
5. The ability to not repeat the same moves.

For the women who had these abilities we generally hired them, if they had all these assets but were 'out to lunch' then they were sent packing, way too much trouble. When you deal in the world of production you have to have reliable, professional people to work with. It cost a lot of money to hire all the necessary production staff for a shoot and if the talent doesn't show up you are left twiddling your thumbs.

With the growth and expansion of the series we engaged ladies from across the work spectrum. One day a very well dressed lady turned up to interview and audition, she filled out most of her paperwork but was reluctant to use her real name, when we asked why she told us she was the president of a known company whose first passion was dance, she loved it and the idea of dancing naked behind a screen with that amount of anonymity was just what she wanted to do. But she said she would have to ask us to promise confidentiality. Well we agree and she began to dance, she was very sexy and sensual and moved really well, as she continued she got more and more passionate with her moves until we had to ask her to stop, wow! Other ladies did include porn stars, who were virtually undressed before they filled out their paperwork, must be what it's like at their normal auditions! Most of them though could not dance and we rarely hired them. One lady had GG cups and is in Shadow Dancers Vol 8. She made DD breasts seem small in comparison. The girls who Go-Go Dance at clubs were our best resource, they had confidence, moves and stamina to dance for close to 40 minutes without stopping.

Have we had and stars, celebrities or such appear in any of the volumes? Yes, but as we mentioned regarding the confidentiality of our dancers that information will remain private. But if you watch close enough you may be able to join the dots.

So to sum up who these ladies are, they are first and foremost women who love to dance, and most who love to dance sensually. They are confident and professional with a sexy aura. I think that is why the series works so well, it injects a sensuality into the room where they play on the screens and people can feel it. Anyhow it sure beats watching another ultimate fighting episode!
