    Default i have a cunning plan....

    Hello everyone! I'm new to this site after many a week's research deciding whether to become a stripper or not, here, in london town. Before making such a decision, I have cunningly got a job at the bar in a good strip club - just purely to get a feel for it and check out what the dancers are doing, what the atmosphere is like, blah blah.

    Is this a good idea do you think? I probably won't be able to apply to that particular club as a dancer, but there's so many in London I kinda thought 'what the heck?'

    I guess i'm doing it as well to suss out if I'm dancer material. I've never done anything like this before and like most new dancers, or wannabe dancers, I guess i'm a little insecure about my body. But i won't bore u all with that!

    Any advice on my little plan and what to do thereafter would be much appreciated from anyone over the other side of the pond.

    Thanks,

    'lil B

    Well, there's a joke often told in strip clubs:

    What's the difference between a waitress and a dancer?

    Two weeks.

    So it's not uncommon at all. I think plenty of waitresses start working at strip clubs to check out the atmosphere. Of course, where you're working might be different from other clubs where you're considering dancing, so go check them out as well when you go out.

    That was my plan lol, I live in Yorkshire though so there aren't as many clubs close together like in London. I have visited strip clubs and decided the best way was to just bite the bullet and audition. Good plan though and one will do if I don't get dancing straight away. Good Luck.

    There are strip club and strip pubs in london. They are different in character.

    Strip clubs are what you see talked about on SW a lot - lap dance clubs. They're high hustle environments where you'll only earn if you're good a manipulating guys.

    Strip pubs are ones that put dancers on - often 7 days a week. They're lower hustle and sone of the money is guarenteed in that you collect from everyone in the pub before you dance (jug money). Most pubs also do private dances.

    Earnings are better in clubs than pubs, but not dramatically so.

    For the agency websites try

    www.entertease.com
    www.promises-agency.co.uk
    www.angelsexotic.co.uk

    Thgey're all run by women, but Janice who runs Entertease is the best regarded of them by the dancers.

    Not always true!

    I went from being a dancer to a waitress...because I liked the strip club atmosphere, but I hated hard-hustling and dancing on stage(I can't dance for shit). Dancing is for some, but not for others. When I first strongly considered working at a strip club, I wanted to be a waitress. The reason I decided to dance was because quite honestly, nobody hired me as a waitress and I was starting to get desperate.

    i waitressed at hustler and it was the first time i had ever been in a strip club. the managers called me a jr stripper or a stripper in training, even though they had these things called "silver platters" where the waitresses went on stage toclean it and i hated doing it. a guy paid me once to flash him and i was as red as the chairs. they were surprised when i ACTUALLY started to dance!

    Every club where I worked as a waitress, I got 'the talk' from whatever manager hired me. Every single one told me to 'invest' in shoes and a t-back 'just in case'. They're always trying to flip the waitresses, and they don't take it as a loss if you start dancing.
    But, I think it's a great idea to waitress first. If you've never spent time in a club, it's a good way to get the inside scoop on what is going on, and you're still making money while deciding if dancing is right for you!

    I waitressed at two clubs before finally trying dancing. I was only trying it out, but I got hooked on the money. At the time I started dancing, I was clearing about $300/night as a shot girl. But when I kept going in to the champagne room and making so much more for sitting and drinking, how could I say no? lol
    But I'm waitressing again. I dance a few times a month, and waitress a few times a week. I have gained weight, and even though I've been told by a lot of guys they like my new curves, I'm not comfortable with them. So I'm waitressing until I get the body I want, then I'll go back to dancing.

    You are doing fine ! I worked at an SC as a waitress ( I didn't dance there ). The bartender I worked with tried it one night and made a ton ! She has already built up a crowd who wanted to see her. You could easily do that same thing.

    ^^Great idea. I wonder why more newbies don't try this.

    I was a waitress for 4 days, then started dancing... it's definitely a great way to take a look at the club, get a feel for management, and decide if the environment at that club is really something you enjoy or not.

    Good luck!

    That is a good plan! Probably would have been a lot easier to have eased into the SC atmosphere than jumping in stiletto-heels first, but it never occurred to me.

    What PP's have said is true: many, many waitresses turn dancers after just a couple of weeks (or days).

    If you are smart you will pump up the guys for your eventual stage debut by mentioning you might do it for a while first. Don't hide any shyness or hesitation, the guys will then want to egg you on more--and will want to see it more themselves.

    I worked in a couple smaller clubs in Daytona where the dancers would be worn out at the end of the night, and welcomed waitresses and/or bartenders going onstage so they wouldn't have to dance anymore.

    The guys loved it, since they always want what they can't have--the waitress onstage. Usually I would build it up for a while first, telling the guys 'We might get her up there if we're lucky", etc. It always went over well.

    Doesn't work in the bigger clubs, usually, the dancers don't like it unless they are all friends with the waitress in question, or are worn out from dancing all night. I haven't done this for a couple years.

    ah cheers for ur advice girlies and guys.

    Did my shift as a 'spy waitress master in disguise' (cue evil laugh) and it just made me want to dance all the more. although i think i'll need to tone up a bit more - the dancers were tiny there! i thought they would have been more curvy but they weren't at all. i'm not gonna change my shape too much though coz i'll be like all the other girls - is this wise? i suppose it depends.

    My strip club recently sent out a memo to the employees (bouncers, bar backs, waitresses--not us) that I stole. There was a rather blunt note in the part to the waitresses that said:

    You are the untouchable that the customer knows he can't see naked, because you won't take your clothes off. You are probably the one he wants to see naked the most because of that. Take advantage of that, be friendly, and take their money.

    Like a pep talk to the waitresses to take OUR money. WTF is up with that???!!! I guess it's true, though.

    ha! so i guess what your saying is that i should continue working as a waitress until they BEG me to take my clothes off.

    I fear they may be a trifle dissapointed.

    Hey.... waitresses are hustlers too. The experienced ones know how to get paid. I love to see it. They don't work against you. They work with you. Just remember that.
