Last night I auditioned at a club in my area and was basically offered the job right away and started working the same night.
It wasn't bad. The other people I work with, including the other dancers I met that night, were all nice and supportive. I wasn't shy about taking of my clothes or dancing. In fact, the dancing part is what I loved most. I grew up on taking formal ballet lessons 6 days a week, so it was actually pretty natural for me to get up there and turn on the charm. The bar manager said guys kept going up to her and asking when I'd go on stage again because I was the "prettiest" one there.
The atmosphere was a little bit interesting, though. Maybe it was just the girls that night, and because it was Sunday (it was dead. When I auditioned no one was there!) but it was just odd. The other strippers were nice but seemed a little worse for the wear, and no one did much hustling. I never saw anyone give a lap dance.
I was surprised after reading these boards so much, because these seemed like fundamental things. Get dressed up, make yourself look really attractive, talk to everyone in the club.
I know that given some time and practice, I could do really well for myself in this industry. If I applied half of what I learned here, I'd be giving lap dances all night long.
The main thing that bothered me, above all, was that I wasn't interested in feeling like such a piece of meat up there on stage. Maybe it was just the guys that were there that night, but a couple in particular just had bad vibes. And maybe it's the fact that when I used to perform on stage, it was about the dancing, not the boobs.
Anyway, I felt really emotionally confused after all was said and done, and I said I'd come back to work for them but now I'm not so sure. I have very mixed feelings. I'm a good dancer and know I could do well, and I really love being in the center of attention, performing, dancing. Maybe I was just shocked by how real it felt.
I'm trying to decide whether or not I should give it another try, but I'm really torn. I know ultimately it's up to me, but if any of you have any advice, insight, or felt similarly when you first started out, please share! I don't want to give up totally. This could be a great opportunity for me.
