Nervous....
hey, my name is Samantha and I am a college student in Boston, MA. I am thinking about stripping and I think I really could do it. I make plans to go "audition" or to a "ametuer night" and I get al nervous and I end up not going. I know I can over come this fear once I get out there and do it but I don't know how to push myself that first time. I try to find girls that work at these clubs to help me out but I've had no such luck. Any advice???

Re: Nervous....
If you want to do it.... do it. There is something holding you back. Figure out what it is and deal with it.
(sorry that sounded harsh, but nothing we say is going to get you on that stage.)

Re: Nervous....
dutch courage - but don't get sloshed - a girl i started with got hammered her first night and had to be escorted off the premises
try signing up for a pole dancing class at a club. that's what i did, and the manager offered me a job at the end. because of the trendiness of dancing nowadays, a lot of clubs don't like to take on girls who haven't had some experience in stripping or attended some kind of course because they may be flighty

Re: Nervous....
Nothing motivates like desperation. When i began dancing I was desperate for the $$$. I went to another city specifically to dance, so there was no backing out. Just go in. It will be awkward at first, but you will get over it as soon as you start making money. Having a drink might help, just don't think you have to rely on it to make money.

If you think it's right for you, then just go in and do it! I was really nervous just like anyone else, but once you get on stage (at least for me) it's like you don't even notice that you're taking off your clothes...you're just doing your job and figuring out how to get the most money from the guys. Believe me, I'm really shy sometimes (a lot, actually, I'm not completely over my anxiety disorder), but I feel great dancing. If you're serious about it, tell yourself, "Ok, I'm going to do this," and just jump right in...and chances are, you'll do okay. You might just want to do a little research first on this site to learn more about the job and what to expect. Good luck!

Re: Nervous....
hi. i am a newbie myself. i didn't audition so i guess you can say that my audition was me being on stage the first time in front of everyone. i dance in canada, and have never visited a club in the u.s. so i'm not exactly sure how it's done there, but we have one stage where one dancer is up for an 18 minute set.
i too was nervous as hell but the hardest part are those minutes where you are waiting to just get up there on that stage. for the first time. once the music starts you just kind of go out and dance and do your thing. for me, getting naked wasn't the scary part, it was just filling up those 18 minutes with moves! but don't worry, my first time did not go swimmingly, in fact, i know i looked awkward but it gets easier and easier.
stripping is something you kind of need to just 'dive into.' my suggestions are: go to a club and watch other dancers, pick the music you feel sexiest dancing to for your audition, and try not to think about too much...everyone is new once and you will find that you will get better and better the more you dance. but this will happen very quickly. good luck!!!
