Ok I really think Im going next week with my friend. But now Im thinking i have no clue what to do. If you dont do a good job will they turn you away
I walked into my audition thinking it was really an "interview." Like, in a little middle-management job interview outfit... no dance clothes. Having never danced anywhere, or thought about it very hard. It was a total whim. I hadn't realized that there would actually be people in the club when I auditioned, but oh, they were there.
The woman who hired me gave me an outfit of hers, found me some shoes lying around on the dressing room floor, and was like, OK, Go! Onstage, I busted out some of my favorite fast, jerky nightclub moves, clutching the pole, while trying not to fall over in the shoes. It was not a very auspicious beginning. I'm cute and all, but I'm not THAT cute, and there was definitely nothing cute about my audition, although I'm sure plenty of people enjoy watching half-naked girls who have no idea what the fuck is going on.
Then they were like, OK, collect tips! So after that, I had to walk around the bar and talk to everyone. I felt like such an asshole... but then some guy bought a VIP dance, and I was like, "um, I don't know how to do this..." and ran back and asked the manager. She said, "it's easy... just sit on his lap and wiggle." I followed these instructions a little too literally, so I don't know why this man continued buying dances from me... until he said, "You know the point of this, don't you? Have you seen Showgirls?" ...took me another song or two to realize he was trying to bust a nut on me, and I stood up and said, "Ewwwww, no!" Then he handed me a bunch of money and I went back to the manager with it and said, "Ummm... who do I give this to?"
I was AMAZED when they hired me. I think I said, "are you serious?"
Your audition will definitely go better than this, Sxxy.
Oh my! I'll be thinking about ya' and sending good wishes! If you are like I was, you may not have the $$$ to go buy costumes and shoes. I suggest goint to a club that you are not auditioning for to buy used clothes from other dancers. We all sell them when we are tired of them. Try very hard to make eye contact with the guys! Just practice it. Each new guy is another chance to work on it. Smile! If you get a chance, go to a park and swing around the pole a little to get the feel of it. Think hard about this decission before you step on stage. It will change you. Have an ending goal like when I achieve this I will quit. Unfortunately I did not and was a lifer! I did enjoy it, the $$$ even more! Good luck and have fun! ---Chantell---
how will it change you chantell?
Let me start w/ this is only from my experience, others may or may not agree. When I first started I was 18 and I would make $$$ today and wake up tomorrow and spend every penny! I always said to myself I'll make it up tonight. I learned the hard way, this is not a good habit! I worked 10 hour days/6 days/week. It took a long time to realize the less I worked the more I could make 'cause I was not burned out and the customers were not tired of seeing me. I had a horrible agent 'till I learned I could do my own bookings and keep the 10%! But, Emotionally I just ignorred the changes that I was going through! Weather working or not if a man didn't serve some sort of poropse or bennifit me somehow he needed to get out of my face! I hated ALL men because I felt that all men ever wanted was sex of some sort! These are just surface issues I can think of at this moment. Don't get me wrong, I loved my job, the controll I had, the $$$ I made, and the overall experiences that I went through! I do have a lot of regrets too! Hindsight is always 20/20!
