18 and I want to start dancing. How do I do it?
I want to be an exotic dancer. I'm 18 and I would like to know what are the requirements and How do I apply.
My friend and I are both 18 and we want to be exotic dancers to pay for our college fees. Were both Black but shes Much lighter. We want to know when is the best time to apply, what do we have to wear, will we have to audition, If we do get the job what are we required to wear the first night, What is it like, What clubs hire black girls and makes the most money, and how much can we make? We've heard lots of diffrent stories and were just looking for the best answer. If this is your profession then please help us. Thanks a lot :)

Welcome... first things first... read the sticky threads in the top of the newbie section... then read through the newbie and club chat areas to get an idea ;) Then anything else feel free to ask!

This website has an invaluable source of information! Your best bet is to read Hustle Hut, and Newbie Board, and Club Chat.
Every question you and your friend have had has been answered over and over again..so trust me, whatever is going on in that head of yours it's been covered *winks*
Disclaimer: I'm in one of my I give a dam moments..
Ok, so you and your friend are both 18? I hope and pray that the both of you are obtaining some form of higher education ie. college. Stripping is NOT what it used to be. It's hard out here...Yea, you have those nights when you kick ass and make $800+..and then the very next night you walk out of there with $10. Trust me, it happens.
Also, (I know some girls here dont' like to hear it, but I always speak truth) it's hard out here for a black dancer. You get some customers who flat out, do not like black women, get some racists, you even get some who want a dance from you ONLY if you'll allow extras. You have men who will watch you all night, desperately wanting a dance, but since they are with their 'boys' they will turn you down. You have to really work ALOT harder than white dancers..again another fact.
You have to have your shit tight..body, face, hair, nails, clothes...You have to dance to acceptable music (please no rap..customers EXPECT us to only dance to such) and I like to break sterotypical walls in people. Even if all of that is together, you will still get customers who pass you up for a girl who just looks a mess ie. sloppy, overweight, stomach hanging over..
It's not all floating on a cloud. I'm trying to give you girls the REALITY - REAL TALK of this situation. It's not walking into the club everynight being the indemand girl..yea you will get your nights, but you'll also have those nights when you sit in the back wondering why you continue to put up with the mental abuse/stress.
This job is very draining...
With all that said, be smart and be strong. Work towards getting your college education. Don't blow the money you making on material things..invest it into something GREAT like a house, retirement..you won't have that face/body forever..

Welcome to SW! The posts above are right on! There is so much information all over this website, the majority of your questions right now will be answered on the "Newbie Board" because I'd imagine most of your questions are basic, novice questions. Also, it's wonderful that CinnamonKisses has taken you under her wing, as she will provide you with a view that many of the rest of us cannot. Anyways, have fun and good luck!! :)
Re: 18 and I want to start dancing. How do I do it?
Wow thats really eye opening... I never would've expected to hear something like THAT about ethnic women and dancing... Usually all I hear from my guy friends is that "every man wants to see a naked woman regardless of her ethnicity".

You've actually heard guys say that, in those exact words? /:O Alot of men don't have a main preference, they just like women. But in my experience, those types of guys are few, far, and in between. Most men do have a preference whether they want to admit to it or not.
Re: 18 and I want to start dancing. How do I do it?
YES. I have in ages ranging from 18-40+. I don't know how diverse YOUR area of living is but here I've encountered nothing but men just wanting to see women from everywhere.
Re: 18 and I want to start dancing. How do I do it?
lasylviak, I am an 18 year old black dancer, I've been dancing since two months after my 18th b-day, I'll be 19 next month
anyway, just go into the club of your choice, bring an outfit and some heels , I wore this the very first day of my audition and night (memories:'( ) I bought it from ebay for less than $20..I made $124 my first night, (saturday) but i was there for only two hours or so..I hope that helpshttp://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/2/0/9...7628429_tp.jpg
also bing a valid ID and Social Security card maybe. Make sure you look your best (makeup, cute street clothes, hair done) I heard that clubs dont like it when two friends come in to audition, you two might wanna go on separate days..
Now as for the hard part being a black dancer..
Men will turn you down simply because you are black, forget about about your hot body, sexy lips, and cute face; they see brown skin and associate it with a bad sterotype or negative image and refuse you, I've never had anyone call me a racial slur but a darker black girl at my club was insulted by her complection (by another black man at that) and began using skin bleach :-\
Its hard, im not going to lie; just make sure you conduct yourself accordingly dont act ghetto, speak ebonics, or roll your neck and fingers. DO NOT dance to rap music, unless in a black club.
I am very light complected, which I believe got me hired. I wear green and sometimes grey $300 real looking contacts. These contacts look like my real eyes, especially in the club. (http://cibavision.com) I have my hair straightened and dyed light brown with even lighter brown tips..When I first started out being the "black dancer" it was not getting me much money as it is being the "exotic looking dancer" Customers are always guessing what im mixed with..Its sad that I have to "water down" my race but at the end of the day it puts money in the bank..And its reality, I'm not telling you to do this, every dancer has a certain look that gets them paid, for me this is it.
On a positive note you will get men; white, black, latin etc. that cant get enough of that brown sugar, they will buy multiple dances if you happen to be one of the few black dancers. Hell, me and all the other dancers of SW can tell you it only takes one man to make your wallet fatter.
Oh yes, saving is important..Open up a savings account and dedicate atleast $100 per week, 3-5 years later you'll be thanking yourself..DOnt get greedy and spend your money on dumb things, just about every dancer does this when she first starts.
