    Default Saturday's my 1st day. Worried about lap dances!

    Sooo my first day at this club is on Saturday. I'm so excited but then scared at the same time. I have the insecurity with the tummy pudge but the lighting is so dark that I'm pretty confident it won't be noticed. I'm comfortable with the pole dancing, but my main concerns lie with the lap dances. I've never actually given a lap dance before. I'm afraid I might look like a tool. I've watched instruction videos, & my boyfriend said I could practice on him (of course) but I'm still really nervous I'll do a shittacular job.

    Also, I'm worried about keeping variety in my dance moves on the pole. People will notice I'm sure if I'm doing the same moves..how can I be sure to keep it interesting? I've also noticed a lot of guys tip like singles...I can't understand how girls can bring home $800 a night receiving tips of mainly singles. They must have to sell a HELL of a lot of private dances then I'm assuming.

    Another thing that scares me is they require 2 full shifts for orientation & training. Each is about 10 hours. I hope those 10 hours involves training haha. Then they require 4 regular shifts a week for a month before they start giving me my own hours. I've got good curves & I'm very confident I'll do well looks wise. However, there are abunch of tables & there are dancers at each table. Some of the dancers didn't have any guys at all at their table, while other girls had about 10 or 15. I felt so bad watching the girls that were dancing for no one. I'm so nervous I'll be that girl that has no one at her table..I mean..how embarrassing right? I'm not a pole acrobat but I'm hoping I can make up for that with serious dance moves. I honestly have no experience as a dancer. They also hired me on the spot...so that's good right?

    Omg, there are strip clubs that work you ten hours? I thought the avg stripper worked 4-6 hour shifts! Im hoping this is just your orientation hours. I worked at a job where I had to stand all day long for 13 hours a day in the sun, but I wasn’t having to dance around and entertain so there is no comparing. I can’t really imagine. I did have a temporary job as a costumed entertainer (not an exotic dancer lol, I was independent doing side work for Nickelodeon) where I danced around 4 hours but got a break every 15 for 15 min. Me and the other girls switched out.
    I really don’t know if I could dance at a club that absolutely required more than one straight ten hour shifts, even with breaks. Good luck, hope your’re more energetic than me! It sounds like you’re very excited and will do great.
    Oh and I'd be nervous about the lap dances too! But since you've watched videos and practiced on your boyfriend, you should be fine. I think you know what you're doing more than you think you do. I'll bet a lot of girls that work there went in having never seen a lap dance. I've found that in life when you prepare yourself you become shocked at how much it really does help instead of disappointed.

    I believe the two 10 hour shifts are only for orientation. They said I start making that night though. Then they said they require 4 days a week for a month....so hopefully those 4 days aren't 10 hour shifts haha. They said they show me the rooms & what each room means & how it all works..& some tips. I'm interested in knowing that stuff because it all confuses me. I don't know how long you stay on the stage before you get down & start selling dances or when you're done selling dances when you're supposed to start back ont he stage again. I hope I'm energetic enough. For my regular job I work with dogs at a dog daycare & that requires a lot of concentration & running around. Silly, I know, but I can pull off the long hours. I just hope I don't disappoint the customers. I don't want to see them all totally ignoring me & giving all their money to a girl who's better looking or something Thanks for the response

    You seem pretty well prepared! Watch the other girls and take tips (not actual money) from them. Congrats on the new job and definitely let us know how it went!

    haha I love how you put "not actual money" in parentheses lol. but Thanks! I'm so nervous but I'm hoping they'll put a lot of that to rest at orientation tonight. I love to be on stage & dance...I've just never done it naked haha so it should be fun! Thanks I'm hoping to bring home at least $100 a night at first. I think that's a realistic number to shoot for right?

    Totally realistic, I just started on Wednesday and had never really seen a lap dance and I pulled more than double that 100 goal. Girls at my club seem to get between 15 and 30 singles during a set and the rest is from private dances. My advice is find a girl who seems nice and tell her you'd like to learn; the girl I asked was kind enough to help me out. We went to a table, chatted up the lonely guy and she made a pitch for a two for one (so I could watch and then practice). She got to keep the money but I got to see everything and then work it myself. Afterwords she gave me advice, and then I was on my own. Good luck!

    Thumbs down Re: Saturday's my 1st day. Worried about lap dances!

    Well my very first night I did amazing. I sold around 40 some dances & made about $600. Then after that has been disastrous. Under 200 for the rest of the nights I've been there. I've been insulted & rejected for nearly every single dance I've tried to sell. I've been called fat, & have been scorned at. I noticed that on the night I did well, the typical OC type girls weren't there. I've learned that in order for anyone to do well at this club, it's nearly mandatory to have the breast implants, the size 2, the orange tan & platinum blonde hair. A foreign accent doesn't hurt either. Those are the girls that make the money. At least where I'm at. It's quite disappointing & the custys are absolutely BRUTAL.
