So, after a few months of wanting to start dancing and trolling StripperWeb I've decided that I'm finally going to take the plunge and audition! I'm a full-time college student living on my own outside of my home state so being able to have a stable income is essential for me. My roommate has been dancing for a few months at a club not too far from where we live and actually convinced me to try it. Back in September, after weeks of chickening out and making excuses, I FINALLY mustered up enough courage to audition at her club. I was soooo nervous but after watching a few girls go up and dance, the DJ called my name and I realized I had no more time to stall. I was super nervous and didn't really know what to do, so I just moved slowly and repeated some of the same moves over and over. Once I got up there, it wasn't too bad and I really wasn't that nervous-- i just didn't know what moves to do. The club was pretty dead at this time but a few guys came up to the tipping rail and tipped me, so that also helped me ease my nerves a lot. When I was done, the manager told me that I needed to "work on my stage" (it was a nightmare, LOL) but I was hired! I never had the courage to go back and actually work at that club, but I decided that I didn't really want to work at the same club as my roommate anyway. I am glad that I have someone I can trust to show me the ropes, but I feel that I can be more focused and be able to hustle better on my own. I recently decided that I wanted to audition at Christie's which is a nicer, more upscale club that is closer to where I live. I went in for an audition a few weeks ago and the manager was very nice and seemed to like me a lot. It was around 8pm on a Thursday night and there were a ton of girls working, so he said he would see if he could squeeze me in for an audition, but I wouldn't be able to start working that night since I didn't have my license yet. I filled out an application and opted to just come back that Monday when I could get my license so that I could start working right away. I am really wanting to start making money, but I am so nervous to audition again! I keep thinking about how awkward I look dancing and how the managers at my last audition said I should work on my stage. I'm not completely clueless and I have rhythm, and I know I'm attractive and could make money but it's just been such a struggle with building up my confidence. I know that once I actually take the plunge and get out there I'll be okay, but I just keep second guessing myself. I'm planning on going in tomorrow afternoon to audition! I guess I'm posting this so that you all can hold me accountable and I'll actually have to go through with the audition, lol. Any last minute tips? I'm so nervous i'll get back up there and not know what to do! Ahh! Oh well, I guess I'll never know until I try. Wish me luck!
