Re: 19 and want to dance...
Many clubs hire entertainers with no experience. The average entertainer is in the industry for less than 4 years so there's high turn over at many clubs. Plus, entertainers are known to be pretty flaky... which means owners & managers are always trying to higher more girls than they really need to cover for the entertainers that don't show up.
Your best bet is simply to call the clubs you are thinking about, ask them when they hold auditions for new entertainers. Don't ask if they are hiring because they often say "no" since they can't see you over the phone. Once they tell you the days/times of auditions, ask what the minimum age is to dance, what you need to bring for a costume, & if you need to make an appointment (really rare but it sometimes is required). Finally, ask what the age requirement is for patrons to enter, & let them know you may want to look at the club before you audition. If you do go before you audition, let them know when they check out your ID that you are checking out the club to consider auditioning, sometimes they won't make you pay the door fee & they'll let the manager know so they can answer questions you might have.
Re: 19 and want to dance...
I started dancing when I was 19. Went in there with some little pink heels from Target and a pink nightie...lol
Danced entirely too fast on stage, but still got hired. Ended up making $100 my very first night, and been doing it ever since. :)
Clubs really seem to love the younger girls, and the good thing about stripping, is you can get hired without any experience. You will definitely gain it each night you work.
I would give it a go. :) Good luck.
Re: 19 and want to dance...
Thanks for your help...im really excited and really want to do this...if yalll have any other advice let me know!
Re: 19 and want to dance...
Hey I'm 19 also! but when I started I was 18.
I have to work at nude clubs because I'm not 21, so I can't work anywhere that serves alcohol. I auditioned with NO experience at a little club in my city and did really well my first weekend (really well for this club I mean haha). I made around 300 something each night. Those nights were actually really busy because it was a weekend and now I went back to work after taking a break and it's been so slow so I left last night with around 150 (it WAS a tuesday, weekdays tend to be slow).
But yeah they don't care as long as you don't dance TOO bad and as long as you look good in your heels and lingerie/bikini/whatever!
I don't know how I danced but I'm sure it was fast and not that great, but they hired me on the spot. Another girl came in to audition though and she wasn't hired even though she was really pretty because she was all fucked up on something and danced so bad. She came out crawling onto the stage!:O
haha well anyway don't be nervous, after you audition and get hired it'll be a piece of cake! ;)
Re: 19 and want to dance...
what did you do for the audition... did you actually strip or just dance?
Re: 19 and want to dance...
^^^ Unless you are working at a bikini club, they will want you to strip. The point of the audition is to make sure that you can actually get your clothes off without totally freezing up... everything else is secondary. Just smile, dance, pose & make eye contact, & you will be fine.
Re: 19 and want to dance...
I danced once with my clothes on for a song and then completely naked for a second song.
Re: 19 and want to dance...
