"Seven teen, but I'll be 18 soon" She smiles at the name use

"She also got held back a year and is thinking of dumping high school" Branndi says "Education is crucial"

Piper does NOT touch that one, though her cheeks color a bit.

"Where do you pick up most of your dance moves, girlfriend? Music videos, clubs, or ever watch any of those little vid clips online, like TicToks and stuff?"

"All of the above but Brandi taught me some " Racey then sighs "My grandma also had me take tap lessons since I was 6." An admissionn "It CAN be fun but no one does THAT anymore"

Tell me, what do YOU want to do? And what's your end goal? Do you just like dancing for the joy of movement? Is it the way the people react that gives you your kicks, or is it all about the money if you're working a club beat?"

"Well, everyone praises me when I dance, and that's a superpick up" Racey admits "It makes me feel worth something, rightt? But..sometimes I get so innto it and I don't even think of who is watching anymore i'm just.. happy. But this is REcordingg stuido.. they don't need a dancer"

"Can I show you something? It's still being set up, so you might need to use your imagination a bit."

Brandi nods to her cousinn

Patrice/Racey walks in "Sure..."

Piper leads them to a room. A lot of equipment is still in boxes along with some construction storage from the other wings, but it is a large, open room, with... tiles laid over most of the floor? Interlocking tiles that have a wood veneer appearance, but when stepped on, it has a bit of spring, of cushion, and shock absorption - the type of flooring used in studios.

"I don't have a full cam setup yet, but... envision this. RaceyP, the new sensation of tap with an edge! Here is where we would would set up the screens so you can see the recording - the marks here show where you'd go off camera - and I have a friend who's a veteren to ad- and tip-supported streaming services to make a little bank off the show. Which I know wasn't your goal, but hey, why not?"

"You'd be safer" Brandi nods, while Racey gapes, then Brandi adds "She would be safer, right?"

Piper speaks quietly to Brandi as Racey checks it out. "Definitely. As long as she knows to not give out her real name or location, and keeps things to an Under-18 appropriate level? I'm no prude, once she hits that number if she feels mature enough and open enough to do more, I'd support that too. But here it's a safe space - and no grabby hands either."

Racey P (Yeah, she'll go with that) checks out the accoustics and even taps a foot on the tile

Brandi nods "I got no problem with her having a love life.. I just .. you know, donn't want her taken advantage of by some jerk. Thanks for this, Piper"

"It's amazing.. I can see it" Racey P exclaims

"Have you ever thought about taking lessons? I have a good friend who's a professional dancer, and he might be up for tutoring a little. I warn you, if you think you're flexible, he'll find ways to make you bend that will have you thinking you were a geriatric before."

Even saying so in a completely innocent intention, Piper can't help but hide a little smile at remembering... good times

"Is your friend cute?" Racey P beams

Brandi rolls her eyes "Don't forget. To use this place you have to stay in School, Pat!"

then Branndi shoots a look to Piper to back her up on that, please!

"That's the rule." She nods, making it up on the spot.

"Fine.. darn it." She looks "I didn't know you'd be setting up a camera thing. Got a green screen for backdrops?"

"I do. It's just a curtain for now, but I'm working on getting a full wrap-around and multi-cam setup."

And, a GRIN... "Did you know that if you wear something the same color as the green backdrop, it makes your clothes vanish? It's kinda a magical effect."

"You can do fun things with a scarf too, like..." She moves, as though whisking an imaginary cloth through the air, hiding her face coyly for a moment, then a coquettish flick.

"Hey, kind of a high tech tease" Racey smirks

"With green screen backdrops, you can be in a club, on a beach, on the moon... even in hell giving a lapdance to a devil. How about if I pencil you in to come check it out next Tuesday? I'll set up a meetup with that dance instructor too, just in case you two click. For rental fees..."

She thinks a moment. "First month is free, after all, we're still getting set up. After that, we can see if you want to work out a deal for a setup with maybe some streaming revenue share, if things pick up?"

"Can I afford this?" she looks at her cousin

"I'll help you pay for it, " Brandi says "I did push for it."

Piper gives Brandi a grin and a little nod - she'll hook her up with a good deal.

"Lemme get a quick look at your moves. Mind if I record?" Setting up her smartphone leaning against a box.

"Don't mind" Annd.. she shows a variety. Tap really is her best skill she's GREA.

T*

But she's not bad at the other stuff either, not as sensual as Brandi , but then that's Brandi's college payment there

Piper is IMPRESSED. "We can DEFINITELY work with that."
