    Arrow QUESTIONS you are prolly gonna ask! ANSWERED

    I am starting this thread for for all of the Newbs who have asked me these exact questions. Now I can point them to this to save both of us time. These of course are questions newbies can find searching and answered in stickies.

    *This doesn't mean Newbs still shouldn't read stickys and use the search function. If you have read them some of this may look familiar. But they are still asked, so here they are again.

    But here it is...in my words.


    "What should I wear when I start out?"

    The first thing you need to think about is dress codes. Bikini, Topless, Pasties, Nude, all can be very different. Call the clubs you are considering and ask them their dress code. Every place is different. It is better to be safe than sorry

    With that said...

    Your goal is to try to find something that makes you look sexy and at the same time wear something that will sell appeal to customers. Try to avoid wearing what everybody else is. Be yourself and that is unique. Make yourself stand out in the best way possible.

    Keep an open mind. Try on things you might not normally wear. Even if it's not the best when you are going through the racks, it might look really good on you once it is off of the hanger. Remember just because you might not like it perfectly doesn't mean the customer won't.

    If you dance full nude or topless make sure what you buy can be taken off with the least amount of struggle

    Avoid buying something you haven't tried on at least once!

    Unless you are very familiar with the sizes, or it can fit most types (and you are in that category) you should try it on before it is purchased. Many things cannot be returned. Be careful when buying packages of clothes that cannot be tried on first, they might look nice but if you don't have a body similar to the model on the package, chances are it will not fit right.

    "Where should I look for clothes?"

    Go to all kinds of stores. Hunt through shops such as Burlington Coat Factory, Ross, Charlotte Russe or cheap outlet department stores for sale items. And of course the internet!

    DO NOT buy something if it doesn't fit you correctly!

    Yes it's so cute and is a hard temptation to beat . . . put it back on the rack. It's soooo close but... it's a little long... or too tight or loose... maybe if I did this to it, it would.... can't i wear it anyway!?!

    NO!

    If it's too tight it's gonna leave little annoying lines and red marks, which might hide in the dark if you are lucky or might not, and it's just very unflattering and not sexy to see these. If it's not your size or it's not right for your body, just let it go and find something even better. There is always something better. When things don't fit right it's not going to market you to the best of you abilities. Don't waste your very hard earned money on something if it doesn't compensate what you did to earn your money.

    "I want to buy more than one outfit but they are expensive. How can I make my money last and get the most for it?"

    The best thing to do is ook at the sale racks and cheapest items first. Never pay more than you think the item is actually worth. Unless it is of quality and you are in love with it

    There are many many many places you can find clothes cheaper than a Lingerie/Exotic dance store. If you like a particular item you find in a store remember the price and size and search for it on Ebay, where it is possible to find it for a cheaper price.

    Remember to look at the items you want to purchase closely for defects. Are the stitches far apart which will let it fall apart easily? Is this thong/G-string gonna tear when i take it off after a few uses? Try to avoid things made of mesh unless it's really cheap or it's actually made well.

    Some people come into clubs and sell outfits. Yes, they are very cute but are they really worth the price? Many things are made cheap and sold for a lot while you are working. This gets a lot of newbies because they think they might need to change their outfit to make more money. This might be true for some cases, but not always, sometimes there are bad nights.
    Remember if you purchase something simple and cheap you can take it home and add stuff to customize it to be fancier for a lot cheaper.

    "Are my boobs the right size?"

    The answer is yes. They are not to big or too small to prevent you from starting dancing. Dance for a while first and see how you feel.

    Each customer has a preference to what they like. Every single one is different. It is much more important being confident in yourself and doing what you feel makes you happy.

    Boobs (or booty or whatever) alone don't make a person money or else it would be easier to make more. It is a combination of your entire package, how you present yourself, what you have to offer for their fantasy.

    "What should I wear if I am conscious about my weight or curves?"

    Remember this. Extra weight and more curves is not a curse. Tell yourself and believe it. Different things appeal to different customers, just like boobs and booty. Some people loves curves while some people don't like any. Don't prevent yourself from dancing because you don't know if you are the right type, because you are. And don't give yourself and excuse of wanting to tone up first. There are plenty of clothes to flatter you while you get in shape

    One of the best ways to deal with this is by purchasing a well fitted corset. The best kind you can get is the type with a bra built in at the top, so all you have to do is push or fold the cup down to show your breasts.

    There is an option of trying a waist cincher that ends under your breast and wear a bra or bikini top with that can easily be taken off. Make sure they really do complement each other. If you mix match try to find another part of you outfit the bra/bikini top matches with matches with.

    Waist Cincher Left; Corset Right

    The great thing about both of these is not only do they flatter curves, but they can help create a little bit of curve for people who want or feel they need more.
    You may need to try on quite a few before you find the perfect one for your body. There are so many different types that do different things.

    "Oh My GOD!!!! SHOES!!!!"

    Some people can walk naturally in tall heels with a sharp stiletto, without a problem... and others can, but don't like to... and then some just cannot, yet. You can go for the typical stripper shoes or less typical. Try on lots of shoes, as many as you can. Try them with straps and with out straps. It might not SEEM like a big deal... But it is! Many little differences will affect how you function dancing on stage and just walking. You don't need to walk in the tallest shoes. Not every shoe is appropriate for every outfit. Make sure it looks good on you, with what you are wearing, and doesn't violate any dress codes. Once you have achieved your balance in shoes, sharp points will not be so hard to walk in, and that's a good sign for you to know you are ready for more advanced ones.

    It's also a good idea to find the ones you want in the store and find them on Ebay for cheaper prices if they are available. It is not necessary to spend more than you need to. Believe me, you can find the sexiest shoes for the best prices if you look hard enough. But of course it's always fun to treat ourselves now and again.

    Clear shoes are great and you can find some with a chunky heel or a cone heel. The only problem with these is sometimes taking off a skirt or undies. Occasionally they will stick if you are not careful. It's not really a big deal, just make sure not to parade around the stage with shoe-undies.

    "What Clubs are good and where will I make the most money?"

    The only way to find this out is to ask other dancers in your area. Check out as many clubs as you can. And don't expect a lot of money in L.A. Be careful not to make the mistake of assuming the first club you found is the best job offer. Just because you are hired doesn't mean it's the ideal club for you

    Every club is different for every dancer. If you don't like the one you are at then there are probably plenty more to try.

    "I am nervous my First Night!"

    Don't get your nerves worked up too much. And don't worry about having to take your clothes off. They want to see you that way, anyway. Consider that a compliment and it will make it easier. Usually once you are up on stage it actually feels natural to move around and act sexy and take clothing off. Sometime it takes a little more time to feel natural. You will get through it!

    "What do I do and how do I dance when I get on stage for an audition or a contest to get hired?"

    If you do have to audition for a club, it's really the same as just working there as a dancer. You go up on stage and dance for a song or two. When you get onto the stage set your purse in an area where it cannot be reached by anybody other than yourself. And make sure it is where you will not stumble upon it either.

    This is the part that is good for people who have a background in trained dance... or is it? Well, if you had trained in anything involving dance or gymnastics or movement you have an advantage because you should be somewhat more coordinated. But you will soon find out that dancing in a strip club is different. Some newbs get on stage and have a choreographed routine while others kinda try to move and sway side to side with the music. Neither of these should be your ultimate goal on stage and these are not the best way to entertain. Your goal when you dance on stage is to be sexy and entertaining. The best way to do that is to do things that make you feel sexy, rather than what you think others might think sexy is. It is easier to look sexy if you make yourself feel that way while you do your thing. This is why wardrobe also plays a big part.

    If there are customers at the stage or that come up to the stage give them your attention. That is what they are there for. Get to as many as you can, you don't have to be there for long. Always thank them for what they give you, even if you think they are cheap. It will leave a good impression so they will feel more easy about spending more money on you. This also makes you looks nice which might attract others' attention. Remember they work for their money to and want what they think it is worth too. Entertain them as best as you can without putting yourself at risk.

    Dancing as a stripper is not like dancing in a ballet or normal dance club. Of course you can incorporate some moves for your own sense of style. When you are dancing move slowly, think sexy or sensual. Don't worry about trying to do every trick you can think of. Customers do like a good show, but what they want IS a GOOD SHOW.

    When you remove articles of clothing take your time. It's good to tease customers while removing them. Between taking articles of clothes off do some sexy moves to take up time. It's good to take more time because it will seem like you are doing more things, and the longer you take the less you might take off. You can slide your panties down so they are at the bottom of you butt and pussy(for a good tease), but not halfway down your thigh(that looks lazy sometimes).
    When you are on stage you should want to do less work (for removing clothing that is) for more money, but at the same time you should never let it appear that way to anyone.

    "What about the Pole, its so shiny and pretty..oh what do I do?"

    Pole tricks are great and lots of fun and the best way to do them is safely. There are classes and other dancers that can teach you tricks. If you have no experience, trying to do things you don't know can lead to horrible injuries. If you have no experience on a pole don't try to use it at first, unless it is assisting to get on or off of the floor. The pole is your friend, but don't rely only on the pole, because the customer are seated by the edge of the stage. If you can do pole tricks that's a great advantage, but don't give it all of your attention because its not the one giving you money.

    If you want to take online classes here's two popular websites.

    Hi! I'm Kate and I'm new here!
    I just had a question about the above.

    I'm not the skinniest girl in the world, but I'm not obese either. I've got a bit of a gut, yes, and love-handles, so I know what you mean by curves. But my question was that if a dancer were to wear a waist cincher, would the customers know that she's trying to hide her "wobbly bits" or do they not care?
    And would a girl, say, 210lbs be able to get a job as a dancer if curves are the right type?

    I have seen women working at strip clubs who had to be at least 200 lbs and the wore a waist cincher or corset. Of course it was obvious they did have some extra pounds and don't want to show it. Which is ok, its not unheard of that customers go to a club and want a dancer who really like this. One gitl would wear a corset on stage. she would expose her breasts and removes her underwear. She was one of the top earners at the club. I would say if you present yourself in a way that is flattering for your own body, most of the time customer will not seem to care if there are wobbly bits.

    Just wanted to add in about the waist cincher/corset part.

    Your body WILL mold to your corset/cincher standards. It's called waist training. I use it after each kiddo I have.

    You buy a properly, custom-fitted corset (overbust or underbust) or cincher. Preferrably two. You wear them for at most23 hours per day, most start off with about 12 hours and work up to 18.

    In verrrry little time, every part covered by your cincher/corset will literally begin to take on that shape. Meaning when you take it off, your waist will retain that shape without the help of a corset or cincher.

    I have very little-to-no waist if I don't waist train. Which looks absolutely ill-proportioned, with my HUGE hips, broad shoulders, and lanky frame. It takes me about 3 or 4 months of minor waist training (around 6-8 hours per day) to see my waist mold.

    Always an option

    Great thread Pookie and good on ya for taking the time and making the effort to do this!

    Any chance you could add something for those who ask "Am I too old" - favorable answers it possible, lol. The other sticky re age is really crap IMO, there are much better age threads and I was never sure why that one made or remained as the sticky.

    I have seriously cleaned this thread. Posts pertaining to L.A. clubs have been moved to Club Chat, and the original post has been added to the Newbie FAQ thread. Let's all of us try to stay on topic and, instead of name calling and derailing threads, simply report a post when you see a problem.

    Yep, and they are arbitrary as hell. The club decides what is right for them. Some clubs only hire anorexic looking girls, some clubs like taller women. As a curvy little shorty I can assure you that no matter how you look there is a club out there that will hire you and that you can bank in.

    Cheers!
