    WWW mature dancer just moved to Portland from Vegas

    couple of girls who came down to vegas from pdx for weekends told me i'd love it here because girls here love to dance -- like me.


    did shockingly well at OG, penthouse and rhino bec i'm petite, tight, flexible, and hi energy, so, you'd never know i'm "mature". young boys think i'm in my 20s (don't ask-don't tell ) Read all the posts, lots about under age -- but nothing about "over" age. will managment even put me on the schedule? or will they get stuck on my driver's license? any club suggestions?

    Wondering what to expect here in pdx. how is dancing here different from dancing in vegas? working conditions, prices, dressing rooms, house moms? shifts, rules, management, colleagues, customers, tipping and tip-outs, etc.


    grateful for any and all info ~ best wishes

    Hello there, I am an ex-dancer from Vegas that has been here since 1997. I moved to Portland at 27 to get away from all the plastic-ness that was really bad for my eating disorder. I danced here until 36. I am 39 now and have my own club which is a juice bar/jack shack. Anyway Portland has so many clubs that they hire almost anyone that walks in the door. If you are professional and attractive it should not be a problem for you to get a job at any age in most of the clubs here. Since you love to dance thats great because as opposed to Vegas, Portland clubs use a heavy stage rotation. I mean a really unbelievable heavy stage rotation. You will go on stage more than you have ever dreamed! Good stage clubs for you to try out are Acropolis and Sassy's. You may want to also try some out of town clubs to beat out the overwheming club competition, like Annies in Astoria or Stars in Bend. If you want an upscale environment try the Dolphin clubs or Stars.These clubs can be a little on the snobbish side but a Vegas girl can handle that. Don't even worry about house fees compared to Vegas they are a drop in the bucket.

    thanks so much for your reply, OregonChick. Read a lot of your posts and hoped you'd comment. You're clearly a mover and shaker in Portland I'll check out the clubs you mentioned. Are the clientele as open as mgmt is?Any more thoughts or advice?

    thanks again ~

    Hi Shana, well customers in Oregon are as thery are anywhere. If you have the hustle mojo it will be a piece of cake. You have to realize though we have quite alot of clubs for our population size. Most clubs don't have cover charges and are very small. The typical oregon customer comes in and buys a drink or two and may or may not tip on stage. This does not mean you can't make money you just have to weed out the bad apples like anywhere else. It is best to go with the clubs here that spend the most on advertising so that you as a dancer can get more action through the door. The top advertiser in Portland is Stars Cabaret. More bang for your buck. Secondary, Dolphin and I have noticed that Spyce downtown has been doing alot of advertising as well. Of course we have some very nice clubs that don't spend alot on advertising cause they have been around for awhile and have good clientelle and are known for really good stage tipping. Like Acropolis, 205, and Sassys. Good Luck!

    Hey, don't worry. LOTS of dancers in Portland are in their 30's and sometimes 40's. Age is casual here- though some clubs prefer to hire young. Avoid "Spyce" and Cabaret, and any 18+ place, and go try out at Mary's, Acropolis, and Viewpoint. There are lots of mature ladies at those clubs.

    Thanks for the specifics, Cometbus. Appreciate the advice. Tore my rotator cuff. Been in phys therapy. So I haven't gone out yet. Good to know which clubs to hit -- and which to skip -- when I'm ready to swing

    Keep it hot, sisters!
