Can i talk my way out of an auditon on stage? please help
hey guys, im really new to the industry, i started dancing at a club in minneapolis, called Choice, about 3 or 4 months ago. and it has NOT been the easiest. however one night i gave this guy a lapdance, and everything switched. all of a sudden the hustler i always knew i was came out and i started making money. i was making 120-260 a shift (after house fees and tip outs, however sometimes i would work doubles. anyway, well my club although it feels like a family, DOES NOT HAVE THE POTENTIAL. and i just learned (even though i find it hard to believe, because what im making is really sad if thats the best) that i am i guess one of the top earners. i am a hustler, always have been but used to be lazy. now im not, but at my club there are days and weeks where i swear im lucky to get 2 dances in a shift! the customers ARE NON EXISTENT!! Choice is kind of a...not so classy club, we are full nude, and i think very known for extras. with my potential, and my budget and financial needs right now, there is no way to make a living let alone if i were to make goals, and if i made goals i would not be able to hit them. its sad. so i wanna to go DTC or ricks, or Spearmint rhino, but ricks doesnt have a pole. i dont like that ricks doesnt have a pole though, and that place would be my last resort. the reason i have not changed clubs yet is because im wayyyy to terrified to audition. ive auditoned at 3 other clubs, and didnt make it, the reason i even got to work at choice is because i know how to talk, and i talked to the bouncer one night and then to the DJ. talked my way out of an audition i thought lol. now once im comfortable at a club after a few shifts IM VERY GOOD on stage, i hustle at the tip rail, i smile, i laugh, i dont know if i exactly "DANCE" because im really bad at it, no rhythm, awkward, no ass, cant shake, hate moving slow cant move slow etc. but i BANK on stage. i have fun and so do the customers. now i cant seem to bring this out on stage during an audition. i dont know how im gonna make it at an audition at SR or DTC let alone ricks because ricks doesnt have a pole. i kinda use that to lean on and stage is just weird. without a pole. i dont know many tricks but i can climb and slide down (LOL)
is there any way i can talk my way OUT of an audition, because i am a killer on the floor. i know men and how they work and i honestly belong somewhere that i can have the opportunity to hustle. im just way to chicken shit to fail another audition. i can practice dancing and i do all the time, i just never make it out on stage. any other tips please tell me because im a SW stalker im on here DAILY. lol. i appreciate it so much and thank you all for all ive learned so far from here. but please help! lol

Just gather up the courage and do the audition. No pole is actually great because you get to just walk around and pose. You have more experience now on the stage so you probably won't bomb your audition. Auditions are usually a way for the clubs to see your body. There's a chance you didn't get hired in the past because they weren't into what they saw. I'd audition, ask for constructive feedback and then come back and try again if it doesn't work out.
Honestly though, I can't imagine that at any club making 120-260 a night makes you a killer on the floor. Depending how much commission the club takes from your dances, they might not even care how good of a hustler you are.

I would not recommend trying to not audtion on stage. Look at it from their perspective. They have a process ( hopefully a fast one that will get you earning the same night ) ! If you are hesitant to part of a part of what they normally do, it may make them hesitant about you.
That said, I've been hired before just in my street clothes - you may get lucky the same way but it's rare ( only 1 club did that out of about 12 I worked at ). I have also been hired by getting " body checked " in the managers office which is MUCH weirder than dancing on stage !

Agreed. Body checks are the worst! And the lighting in the dingy office always enhances flaws and lumps. I would much rather audition on stage. You'll be fine on stage.

Why were you turned away the 3 times you auditioned? What reasons did they give you? What you should do to make you more comfortable without a pole is YouTube a bunch of "sexy floorwork" videos. Honestly floorwork when done slow and smooth is ten times better than pole tricks. Guys aren't there to see acrobatics and if you practice on working smooth transitions and floorwork you will look really good for the audition.
Re: Can i talk my way out of an auditon on stage? please help
if you look good enough it doesn't even matter. i've tripped and fallen during an audition before and still got hired. i don't know any pole tricks either and have never been turned away just because my stage set is lame. clubs like the rhino and ricks chains usually don't do stage auditions anyways. it's not that important. if you're being turned away from several clubs i think there is probably another reason for it besides your lack of stage dancing skills.
Re: Can i talk my way out of an auditon on stage? please help
Yes, are you overweight? Do you need to diet and exercise. Maybe you were too nervous and awkward but as everyone said the #1 reason strippers don't get hired is cosmetic. Did you have green hair, it's more likely to be something like that.
Re: Can i talk my way out of an auditon on stage? please help
^^ this. I've worked with plenty of girls who just wander around looking bored on stage or are really awkward, but obviously they got hired. Bring your hotness A game and don't stress about stage unless you're working an urban type club where they expect pole and booty tricks.
Re: Can i talk my way out of an auditon on stage? please help
And I will repeat: Make sure you wear something flattering! Wearing something that accentuates any trouble spots could cost you the audition. Managers are dumb. It doesn't matter if the customers would love you, managers hire based on what *they* would find attractive. Unless you have some extra weight, I don't see why you can't get hired. If you do have some extra weight in places, wear outfits to camouflage yourself.

^^^ even Maliah Michele, an extremely hot and successful stripper has insta posts like too fat right now for a two piece - LOL. Even bloat should be camouflaged- this is a very unforgiving industry.
