too big to get a nice gig
I'm curious alot of newbies want to know if they are too big to dance. At which height and weight do you fellow dancers think is too big to audition at a nice club not a hole inthe wall? I know in philly the dancers at hole in wall clubs look busted.
They usually don't take care of themselves or do their hair or nails or feet. They often trick in the clubs.I would like to hear from you all.
Re: too big to get a nice gig
Heights not really a big issue. Weight totally depends on the girl's body build. I'm 190lbs. I don't look it. I look about 175; but I also lift weights and work out like a fool. Most of my thickness is in my hips and ass area. It depends on how the girl carries it. Usually, anything over 190 needs work (to put it nicely). Don't flame me for this, please.
Re: too big to get a nice gig
height and weight are arbitrary (especially height)
I think being toned is way more important than skinny in the upscale places. Skinny and slightly overweight (like 20 lbs) are okay at the middle tier clubs.

always remember that muscle weighs more than fat..... you can weigh more than average but really just be built....
Re: too big to get a nice gig
I'm 5'4, around 130 pounds, size 5. I work in a club that doesn't do very well and I would like to try somewhere better. Not upscale but just with better earning potential. However, other people's comments have made me feel like either I couldn't get hired or if I did I would be the fattest girl there. I diet and try to excercise, but my main problem is that my hips are too wide across for my height. This makes me seem kind of big when I'm not wearing clothes.
Re: too big to get a nice gig
although i live in a small city where there's really only about 4 clubs, i've seen large girls working at every single club here. really, i don't think there's a precise weight at which you become too big to dance. a lot of it depends on how you present yourself, a bigger girl with nice hair, nails and clothes, has a better chance of landing a job than a bigger girl who isn't quite so well presented. also, whether you're larger and toned, or larger and flabby probably makes a difference. and remember, many guys like curvy, voluptuous women, so sometimes it pays to have a few of them working in the club :)
Re: too big to get a nice gig
I think I am a big girl I weigh 177 right now and I am 5'7'' I think it's all in how you work it =P
