Gonna audition in chicago next week, advice if ya got it!
hi everyone, this is my first post and i wanna say this website has been very helpful for an aspiring stripper like me cuz i dont personally know anyone in the industry!
anyway, i plan to audition at this club around chicago
called polekatz and i was wondering if anyone viewing has any kind of advice about them.
i had seen their ameture nite like a year ago, and those girls competing were definately pros, so i was discouraged about it for awhile, but thats the only way theyll hire u so i gotta do it.
btw, i view stripperweb on my cellphones browser (no computer yet!) and for whatever reason it wont let me reply messages so if u wanna chat w me please feel free to email me im at [email protected].
thanks everyone!

Just remember to go slow, use eye contact, smile and try to interact with the customers.

Good luck!
I don't know that much about specific Chicago clubs, but I do know that they can be very picky down there. For example, one of my friends amateured down there, but the club was only interested in Latina/Asian women. So don't be discouraged if you get turned down!

I've done amateur night twice at Polekatz and I did well but you're right, it was all pro dancers competing. I ended up coming in third the first time I did it and got beat out by two dancers who were sisters, and the second time I did it they had the girls go up ten a at a time which was super weird and it was pretty hard to get noticed. THe DJ said the manager really liked me but nothing ended up coming of it after that but I hope you have better luck than I did! Keep us posted on it how it goes and if they hire you :)

Chicago clubs are very funny. You could win an amateur contest and not get hired while someone who didn't place does. I've seen amateur contests rigged to the point where an ugly fat slob got hired because they claimed she placed in the contest. She only got in because she's the housemom's sister (I personally saw this happen) and didn't get the most claps. I really dislike amateur contests because often they are rigged, not to mention many are often professional dancers (who don't want to work at a club) who compete just to win the money.
As for Polekkatz I never worked there but know several who are (or were) involved with the club from another club. I've heard that tipouts are very high and the crowd is very light. For what it's worth, I've heard they mostly only hire those who win, and that isn't always a sure bet either.
As for advice, take a friend with who can hold your stuff while you are competiting. Also, don't get too chummy with the other dancers. I've known of several cases of a dancers not getting hired at a club because of what she said (not at Polekatz, in general). Also take music you enjoy dancing to.
