    Default Absolutely Scared to Death

    I'm brand new to both dancing and this bored and I need some reassurances.... I'm terrified of even going to talk to the manager. I don't know why but could you all help me out and just tell me it won't be horrible! I don't know what's wrong with me. It's not even like I'm shy or anything....

    You're just intimidated. It will pass in time - after 2 years of dancing I actually started yelling at my old manager

    Okay sweetie, everyone goes through this and we're all still standing



    The best tips I can give you are:

    1.) BE CONFIDENT, no matter what the situation, and smile! When you're up on stage, make eye contact... let him know you want him.

    2.) Be nice to the other girls, but you're not at work to make friends. Some WILL try to take advantage of you in the guise of helping you, don't let them. That said, some girls will genuinely be nice and help you out. Just go with your instinct.

    3.) EVERY customer is a potential sale, don't be shy unless they're with another girl at that moment or look really mean. Talk to everyone, be interested in what they have to say, but don't sit and chat more that a song or two if they're not getting a dance. You can always make your rounds, come back, and try again.

    4.) You DO NOT have to dance for someone if you don't want to. Do what you're comfortable with, not what the other girls do if it makes you uncomfortable. Make friends with the bouncers, tip them and most of them will have your back and side with you in an argument.

    5.) Worry less about how you look on stage and more about not falling

    6.) Most of all, respect your bad money-makin self and everyone else should too

    If you ever have any questions, feel free to PM me.

    ETA: You don't HAVE to tip the bouncers, most of them got you if you get to know them and are nice to them. If that doesn't work, tipping them might, if not, find a new club where the management cares about your safety.

    Just grab your Kahones and go for it. It's a HUGE rush when you first start dancing... taking it all in...

    Just be nice to the people that you work with but don't feel like you need to be friends with anyone either. Go to work to work, and they'll come around - and respect your professional attitude.

    To me that was the scariest part... the girls were so intimidating to me! I just stayed out of their way and was a sweetheart - even when they weren't so nice to me - and I eventually gained their respect so much that they made a space in the locker room for me to lock up my stuff

    Just remember that your there to work and everything else will fall into place.

    Thank you all! I appreciate it.

    I'm going up to talk to the manager tomorrow. I know a few of the girls at the club already and my friend (who is also friends with the manager) is going up with me. Hopefully I won't hyperventilate my first night!

    1. You're a hot girl
    2. The manager is most likely a balding or overweight (or both) middle-aged pathetic loser, there is no need to be intimidated at all.

    I did it! And he hired me like pretty much instantly without an audition or anything! I'm excited.... when I'm not being really nervous lol. He asked me to come up tomorrow so he can train me so I'm not sure if I'll be dancing or not. I have a really newb question tho.... what do you do with your money while on stage? I was watching the other girls dance tonight and it was kinda all over the stage. And won't it fall out of your garter belt when you go to get another tip? Sorry, I know its a dumb question....

    well what you do with your money while you're on stage depends on the club you work at but no, it won't fall out your garter. check out the newbie faq. a link to a blog about how to put on a garter is there

    Did you do it my dear??

    I've been in your shoes, it took me over a year of wanting to dance to get up the courage to do it. What I did that helped me adjust to the strip club atmosphere and what not was I'd go into different clubs with the sole intention of JUST talking to the manager or whoever does the hiring, that way you get over the jitters of the whole having to go in there (because really, half of what's holding you back is getting out of your car and actually walking into the club.) So I'd do that and then eventually I was finally ready to actually do it...it'll just feel right. It got to the point where I wasn't even nervous for my first time on stage or anything.

    Just ease yourself into it

    Yes I did somehow get up the courage to finally go do it. I had a lot more fun my second night than I did my first because I was more relaxed, although I made more money on my first night lol. The thing I need to learn now is how to hustle and get guys to buy dances and stuff. I guess it's still somewhat obvious I've never done it before.

    Yaaaah! Good to hear.

    You sound so much like me. Luckily I haven't really had to "hustle" yet (everyone wants a dance from the new girl), but I've been reading HH a lot too because I know I'll need it eventually. I feel like it's obvious I've never done it before either. I just tell the guy's flat out that I'm new and a bit nervous.

    I've been dancing a month and a half now...newbie!

    I found it really helpful to read hustle hut right before you go in, it gets me excited to go in and try the tips the girls have given, I also found the thread on how to get a guy to buy multiple dances sooooo helpful.
