    Default melbourne clubs

    hey there,
    so does anyone out there have any up to date information on wheres the best to work in melbourne?
    im heading off there tommrow and im looking for a place that is cool with me only being there one week. i dig on smaller clubs but i can do a big hustle club.
    i totallyy bombed in brisbane and picked like the slowest club in the city with the most work involved. i would really like to avoid that again due to only having a couple of weeks left and the exchange rate totally sucks right now so im only taking home half my earnings.
    any advice would be rad.
    thanks

    Safest club earning-wise is Bar 20, they'll always get the people in. I work at Spearmint Rhino where you can earn more in less time but only if they get the right customers through the door, which these days is unfortunately 1-2 a week, the rest of the time it's blood sweat and tears needed to walk out with a decent amount. Bar 20 is a long shift though as they close at 5 am weekdays and 7 am weekends. Whichever club you decide to go for don't tell them you're only here for a week!

    I hate to be the doomsday prophet, but the economy has had a big impact in the clubs, less money, more dancers to spread it over. Seems to be the same for all clubs.
    I have a friend that works as an escort and it has died there also. Guess we are all in for tough times. The media doesn't help by screaming that there will be huge job losses.

    Go to spearmint then, they don't have a problem with tattoos and the manager Richard is American so the club is run well however it is hard hustle. Good luck!

    Sorry to be picky - but just because he is from USA doesn't make him a better manager or a better run club. Some of the best clubs in Australia are run by Australians.

    For someone to be able to run a club properly and professionally it comes from experience and learning, not your nationality.

    Just giving an account of my experience of the club and manager in question and from what I've heard from other dancers that have danced in other Melbourne clubs, which is what the thread is about. However, please by all means start a thread about 'some of the best clubs in Australia' as it would be great to find out your experiences with such and who knows might bring on a road trip for some of us on here.

    Mild2wild - Shame you didn't start that thread on the 'best clubs in Australia'.
    Would really be beneficial as there are a few traveling dancers on here and sort of why we are all on here - to help each other out with info as and when we can right?!

    Thanks Shameless

    As I book for several clubs / pubs in Australia I wouldn't start a thread that talks about the best clubs in Australia as I wouldn't want to sound like I was plugging the clubs I book. Nothing stopping you from starting the thread

    There was a thread on here in called Around Australia but don't know if it is still current....

    Anyone who would like to know anything about any club in Australia feel free to PM me and I will help you where I can.

    Thanks

    I realize this thread's been quiet for a while but I figure, why not give it a try?

    I'm moving to MEL in October on a working holiday visa. I'd very much like to continue dancing and I'm hoping someone would have advice on the best clubs for me to audition. Smaller breasts but curvy for my size and very short - 4'10"/about 1.5 meters (without shoes). I have a nose ring and an industrial in my right ear, one small tattoo on the back of my right leg. Medium length reddish-brown hair. (with my wig on, that is!) So, a little bit "alternative" but not very, at least by philly standards. Are there clubs more or less likely to hire me? I really, really don't want to take out any jewelry but no problems covering the tattoo if necessary. My wig could change but I do not look convincing as a blonde, trust me.

    Any advice you have is welcome and appreciated!
