    Default What to look for in a club

    My wife is seriously considering auditioning for her first job as a dancer. Her and I are both new to the club world. We have been to two of the three clubs in town (that we are aware of) and will be going to the third club tomorrow to do some more "research". (I am learning that research can be fun!) She is trying to figure out which club to audition for.

    Question: What sorts of things should she and I be looking for during our visit? What's important and what's not?

    Look at the dancers. Are they strung out looking?

    Buy a lap dance. Observe the contact level. Is she comfy with that much contact?

    Are the girls getting tipped on stage/selling dances/VIP rooms that you can see?
    (Note that you can't always tell. Some club setups make it hard to know.)

    Where are the bouncers? Do they look effective? Are they keeping an eye on things or BSing a stripper somewhere?

    Is the place clean and well maintained?

    Are the girls wearing gowns or bikini sets, or something in the middle? Is that the level of upscale/downscale that she'd like to work at?

    HTH. Good luck to your wife.

    Also, TALK to the dancers. Ask them what the best thing and the worst things are about the club. Explain to them (before asking ANYTHING) that your wife is looking for a club to work in. Most of the dancers will be pretty honest with you about the things you CAN'T see, like bad management, etc.

    ETA: I would also advise YOU to definitely take some time to figure out exactly what you're comfy with. I also think it's a good idea to discuss up-front things like how long she plans to dance, how/if she plans on promoting herself OTC (business cards, MySpace, website, etc.), and other things like how this will affect your relationship (night shifts mean less time for actual "dates", how will you feel if someone approaches her that knows her from the club? and other Q's...). In addition to finding a good club, talk out all the logistics about it and make sure your relationship is STRONG going into this. She needs you to be supportive and encourage her, to sympathize with her when she's had a bad day, etc.

    We need a board for stripper's husbands/SOs/boyfriends, I think... It would be nice if the men in stripper's lives could maybe discuss stuff like how they feel about dancing. I feel very fortunate to have such a wonderfully supportive fiancee, but the job is so different from any "straight" job that if you're not familiar with the club scene, it does require some adjustments.

    I can contact all my exes at once by drawing a pentacle on the floor, sacrificing a ram, and shouting "Hail Satan". Convenience is a must.

    Great tips! Thanks for responding. I think we are on track for the most part. Our relationship going into this is super. For my own part, SW has helped tremendously by allowing me to immerse myself into so many facets of the club experience without having to spend the mountains of money doing first-person research at a club. We still haven't seen the third club yet. She's not been feeling well lately, so we chose to stay home.

    I also think she's been noticing some good details on her own. Things like level of dress, duration and contact level of the $1 mini-lap dances they do at tables versus the $10 single song VIPs done behind sheer curtains off to one side of the dance floor (which isn't exactly a stage). To describe it makes it kind of seem like a dive, and it probably is compared to the fancy Vegas showrooms where some of you girls make serious cash. It's definitely a working class joint, but it has a more comfortable casual vibe compared to the other club we saw. That one seemed like a time warp to the eighties. Really gaudy decor and the girls seemed like they hated it there. She told me afterward (we saw both clubs in one night) that the first thing she looked at was the dancers' eyes and expressions. I thought that was insightful. She also spent some time talking with a couple dancers, as was suggested here. Our next trip out will include asking questions about practical details like tip-outs, average nightly incomes for newbies in the club, audition process, protocols and expectations in the VIP booths, etc. I'm going to try to remember to look at things like the other guys/customers, bouncers, building layout and maintenance, and other things that she might not consider.

    I'll reply here again after we've seen that third club. Thanks again.

    Cherry Sin's list is very good.


    Additionally, look at the bathrooms in your prospective clubs; sounds retarded, but considering it's my first stop upon entering a club, I immediately know what I'm in for based on the condition of the bathroom.
    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

    ^^^ehh I dunno, I've seen some cracked out bathrooms in some very beautiful places! This goes for the rest of America too, anywhere. Altho I have to say: horrible bathrooms are EVERYWHERE on the east coast.

    One of the cleanest bathrooms I ever saw in a public place was at a BP gas station. I'm not kidding.

    There are only 3 main clubs in our area. She is starting to feel better and has a couple nights off this week, so we will probably finally see that 3rd club. Although I think she already has her mind made up on club #2, regardless of what club #3 is like.
