    Default soooo new to this

    I have wanted to try dancing since i graduated from high school, but I can't seem to get past the nervousness that no one would want to get a dance from me! I have finally worked up the nerve to try out at a couple places, havn't done it yet. . . but I will. . . I think. Anyway are there any tricks I could try getting up there the first time? Like picture the people naked? Or dressed! . I couldn't get an avatar of me to load, but I put in an attachment, hopefully you guys can see it. Thanks for your time!

    You're very pretty, and I think you'll do well. In all honesty, there aren't really any tricks to getting up there the first time. You pretty much just have to suck it up and do it, but I can almost guarantee that once you get done with your set you will wonder why you were so nervous!

    I don't know if you drink or you're even old enough to, but a shot or a cocktail may help with your nerves. Good luck and keep us posted!

    NO real tricks..you will just get used to it. Just go on stage with the thought in your mind that these guys are here to see YOU. That you are so amazingly smokin' hot(which you are BTW!) that they are in awe of your beauty.

    Have the DJ announce that it is your first night ever dancing....guys LOVE newbies and most will be supportive and treat you with a bit more kid gloves if you play up the innocent "but I've never done THIS before" thing!

    Good luck!And welcome...you'll find a ton of great tips and advice here. COme back and tell us how your first night went!

    I was so nervous the first time I ever auditioned I cried a little when I first got on stage. I couldn't walk in heels and had never been to a regular club much less a strip club, but somehow I got through those 3 songs.
    Now I feature all over the country, but I still remember how terrified I was the first time I auditioned. I'm pretty sure once you make it through that first time on stage you'll wonder why you were so anxious. It gets easier as you go, at least in my experience. Good luck!

    my advice would be to set up a pretend stage in your living room and practice practice practice!!! move slowly and sensually and remember guys LOVE newbies so take advantage of it!!! everyones nervous their first time on stage but each time after that u will get more and more confident, learn new moves and have lots of fun. good luck hunnie keep us updated!!!

    I love the outfit you have on in that pic. soo cute!

    here's my advice for nerousness. Just pretend like your confidant. Hold your head up high, take a deep breath and just fake it. Pretend like your famous and everyone is there to see you and just you. The famous you would never be shy or nervous. So fake it. Ignore the butterfly's and just do it. You'll overcome the nervousness quickly.

    I've thought about maybe taking a shot before going in there. I'm 22, but alot of people tell me I look younger.

    yup take a shot it will make u a bit more relaxed. to be honest i never work without having a few drinks before hand - i dont get wasted but having just 2 glasses of wine really helps me relax and gets me in the mood for work. just dont go overboard in the shot department babe

    You do look young which is something you can also play up with a school girl thing. Its easiest to start during the day when its slow and theres some downtime to get the hang of it and girls are more willing to help you out when its less busy. By the time night rolls around you will be so confident.

    I think you look hot, and I'd probably buy dances from you. Good luck with your first show.

    You will do fine, just watch how many drinks you take. It is best to start more during the day. Not as many people or as many girls to compete with, good luck.

    Just do it. Pick a night, get dolled up, leave the house and swear that you won't come back until you've gone in and gotten naked!

    It's really not so bad. Pick a slow time like day shift during the week.

    Oh my god, I did it!! I went in to a club and got a job today!!! I totally did it! And you know you guys were right it wasn't that hard once i had done it a few times! But it was really strange. I didn't make alot of money but I dont think i did too bad. But now I have another question, how do you guys do your taxes? How do I know how much I should sit aside for taxes? perhaps put in a saving account for taxes? I don't know, any suggestions?

    It helped me the first few times I danced to almost go inward and focus on myself and my movements, the music. Getting familiar with the stage, the pole (if there is one), your body and its capabilities and having fun! Having fun is half the battle. Once I felt good, I could then worry about the customers and figuring out my hustle. Not that I ignored them before, but it can be all too much to take in at once. When you feel good about yourself, the customers will be drawn to you anyway.

    What I do which just about all dancers do is to block out everything and just focus on u. pretend its ur world and everyone else is just the audience. That may sound selfish but U got to protect urself mentally from all the possible bs that may come ur way as a dancer--sorry not to scare u. They are mental blocks. And another thing I have been dancing on and off for years and I still get nervous. That is normal and generally fades when u get comfy with a club.

    Thank you guys for your info and time!!! This has been very helpfull to me as a noob I have worked 2 days so far, I am just a little bit concerned about some of the guys though. I've already had two of them ask for my number, one ask where i hang out after work, and one wanted to be my "daddy"?!? WTF??? I must look stupid or something to these guys, and i'm just not sure how to deal with them? I dont want to have these guys leave without a dance which should be what they are there for in the first place!!
