Any WOC friendly clubs in DC/MD/VA/Philadelphia ?
Please nobody say Stadium or Fuegos, those two are out of the question.
I want to start dancing, im willing to travel up to two hours ( I live in MD). I know a lot of black/ urban/ hip hop clubs are very stage centric and I have no pole or dancing experience in my life. Should I start at a more mixed club that has more of an emphasis on selling dances and VIP, NO EXTRAS, or just try the pole centric club anyways and learn as I go? I already have a list of clubs I am really interested in, in Baltimore and Philadelphia, some urban and some mixed:
Philadelphia
1.Cheeks 247
2. The Oasis
3. Delilah's
4. Day Dreams
5. Club Atlantis
6. Club Onyx
7. Vanity Grand
Baltimore
1. Norma Jean's
2. Club Pussycat
3. The Big Easy Cabaret
4. Scores
5. King & Diamonds
6. Excape Nightclub
7. Platinum Plus
8. Player's Club
the lists aren't in any particular order. I would only be working weekends because I am a full time student during the week. I want to be able to have a potential to a decent amount of money from only work two or three nights. Any advice would help, thank you so much.

I work in Philly, there's money to be made here but I strongly recommend you find somewhere local first to get a few shifts under your belt. You don't want to show up to your first audition ever already fried from a 2 hour commute. You should also be aware that Philly clubs are high contact.
Once you have experience, if you decide you just wanna make it clap onstage definitely hit up Onyx. If you decide that selling dances and VIP is more your style, Oasis is pretty consistent. There's also a Gold Club in center city that has decent potential, you could probably hit your goals there if you stay focused on hustling. Avoid Atlantis for sure, not enough $$ to be worth the drive and extras are definitely going down there. Daydreams is a cute little club, newbie-friendly and the cleanest in the city, but it's sloooow there with the exception of Saturdays in the summer when they get a lot of bachelor parties. You can make big bucks at Delilahs but it's tough to get hired there and the high-pressure environment isn't for everyone, so save that for a long-term goal.

Thank you. I was thinking the same thing but then I was like I don't want to be that close to my mom while I'm dancing, she lives just minutes away from where the majority of strip clubs in Baltimore are lol. but thank you for replying. I might take that advice and just stay local.
