danceinspirelove asked: hey sasha, i have been a fan of yours since you toured with Adam during Glam Nation. i was wondering if you had any good tips for me. i just recently started taking a dance class in august and i LOVE it! but is there any advice you can give an aspiring dancer? i'm kinda thinking of auditioning for sytycd in the future. anything you could tell me about the auditioning process with the show, as well? thanks, you're amazing and i look up to you! <3 :)
hey girl… well if you just recently started taking classes and you want to be on auditioning level you have lots and lots of work to do. Its not totally impossible I’ve seen it done before where people have started late and are killin it but thats only because they have natural ability. If you want to be a dancer its no joke you can’t just train for a couple of weeks and say your ready for auditions.. its take years and classes and sore muscle and hard work and dedication and… well you get it. Every style of dance out there has been studied for a reason. it takes discipline and you need to know how to work with people that will most likely get on ur nerves. Know what type of dance you want to study do what it takes to be as good as the people who inspire you. you’ll only get to the top with blood sweat and tears.. thats no lie

Evelyn “Jackie” Bross and Catherine Barscz at the Racine Ave police station, 1943, Chicago.
From the Chicago History Museum:
Evelyn “Jackie” Bross (left) and Catherine Barscz (right) at the Racine Avenue Police Station, Chicago, June 5, 1943
In 1943 Evelyn “Jackie” Bross of Cherokee heritage, was arrested on her way home from work for violating Chicago’s cross-dressing and public indecency ordinance. Bross, who was 19 at the time, and a machinist at a WWII defense plant, wore men’s clothes and sported a man’s hair cut – that was more than enough for the Chicago police. Chicago possessed an ordinance outlawing cross-dressing as early as 1851.
For the bulk of the city’s history cross-dressing was a type of indecent exposure. The ordinance decrees that “If any person shall appear in a public place…in a dress not belonging to his or her sex…. He or she shall be subject to a fine of not less than twenty dollars nor more than one hundred dollars for each offense”.
When Bross appeared in court, Chicago was captivated by the story. In court, Bross reportedly informed the judge that she chose to wear men’s clothing because it was “more comfortable than women’s clothes and handy for work.” She openly declared, “I wish I was a boy. I never did anything wrong. I just like to wear men’s clothes… [but] everyone knows I’m a woman.”
In the end, Bross was ordered to see a court psychiatrist for six months and Chicago’s cross-dressing code was revised. As of 1943, the code allowed for individuals to wear clothing of the opposite sex, provided it was not worn “with the intent to conceal his or her sex.” Arrests continued in spite of the alteration and the Chicago code regarding cross-dressing would not be eliminated until 1978.
