First Night Encouragement
So I see a ton of posts about first nights here. I thought the girls who had been dancing awhile could share their first night stories here to offer up some encouragement for you!
Whatcha think ladies, can we have a nostalgia thread?
Ok, so I started a little over a year ago. I was at this rat hole club in Houston. I came in on a Tuesday night just before night shift started.... The dancewear store I went to sold me these pastie things telling me I had to wear them. So I go in, get approved to work, and get to the locker room. I wanted to throw up because it was so dirty, and the girls were lounging around drinking and talking about anal sex and cocaine! So I get glammed up, and walk out to the floor. 1 lone businessman sat sort of off to the side of the main stage, ignored by the bar-dwelling girls. I Sucked in my gut, tried to calm myself down, and went to sit and chat. Finally I offered him a dance, but it was so horrible and embarrassing, I gave him his money back! I quickly get dressed and leave without even checking out with the management! AND the pasties I spent so much money on were illegal anyway, I was supposed to wear latex.
I eventually went back, and got into the groove. After I got my blisters healed and my dance legs under me, I went to a better club, and a year later I'm among the top 10 earners. So keep your eyes on that beautiful, green, stackable, touchable, SPENDABLE prize, and learn from every mistake you make and every victory you have! Also, in case you were wondering, skip the 7 step strip success. Go for dancer wealth. :D

I started dancing in 99 at a club in Brookpark Ohio. It was a sleaze hole after hours club but it stayed packed. My best friend who is older was a dancer and bet me $10 I didn't have the balls to do it. LOL. yep $10 bucks. It was a thursday night and I made $400 and sorta never looked back. Well actually I made like $410 :D. i did win the bet after all. haha.
stories for the grandkids. gotta love it.
Re: First Night Encouragement
I really don't remember anything about my first night really except that I made great money & I still recall the customer sitting at the very first stage I ever stood topless on. I just remember how liberating it felt. Here all these years my mom was yelling at me to put clothes on & finally people were paying me to take them off!

My First Night as a Stripper
Re: First Night Encouragement
I just did my first night as a dancer. I have mixed feelings about it; my club is primarily a VIP/Champagne room club, as far as money making is concerned, and I didn't sell any VIP hours tonight so I'm disappointed in myself. Most of the girls were pretty standoffish, which I expected, although the girl who did orientation simultaneously with me was quite friendly.
I approached a lot of people, got a lot of no's, but when I did sell a dance it was usually a string of 3-5. I felt pretty good about that, although one customer right at the end managed to ruin my positive feelings about my lap dances for a minute by telling me my dance wasn't good enough. I've come to the conclusion that he just meant "you didn't rub my junk", though, so I've decided to ignore his opinion as that isn't allowed in my place of employment to begin with.
Overall, I'm quite happy with the club, and am resolved to be a higher achiever tomorrow. :)
Re: First Night Encouragement
i have always been shy and self conscious so the the thing that intimidated me the most was girls walking up and chatting with customers like theyre old friends. it was a mindfuck. and i didnt really ask after each conversation for a private show because i didnt believe anyone would pay 80bux to see me naked....
now i wouldnt bat an eyelash before an hour booking min
Re: First Night Encouragement
Wow, see I am shy also and wonder how I will stack up to the pros. I know I sell sex toys but it's not the same. I think I would need a drink to relax first.
Re: First Night Encouragement
I was lucky my first night was easy cos I was with a friend who had already been dancing awhile I had alot of fun!, I think its really brave how alot girls do it alone, I don't think I could of I was really shy before I started this job, Ive changed alot lol;D
Re: First Night Encouragement
My first night was in December of 2000 at a dive bar in Southern California. I was 18 years old and nervous as shit. I think I left with something like $34. I was so self-conscious and lost that while other girls were walking around in bikini tops and bottoms, I had this long robe-type structure that was actually a terry cloth-ish outdoor coat (which was also hideous), that I wore over my bikini. I don't think I spoke to any customers. I just sat there until they called me over. It was terrible. It took me about a month before I even broke $200. I remember that night. I made $222 the night I told myself "if this doesn't work I'm never dancing again". I lasted 8 more years hehe.
