After MONTHS of waffling on the idea, I've decided I can't put my dreams on hold any longer and just go for it to make the money and have fun while doing it. This Memorial Day weekend, I'm going to audition for a big lap club in NYC (even though I live out of state)... a friend of a friend knows one of the people in charge there so hopefully I'll be looked out for a bit more if the people there aren't nice. I figure there will be a lot of tourists there during this holiday. I plan to dance 2 nights/wk to start.
I used to cocktail at a pole club a few years back, and would dance VIP room, but this is the first actual dance gig I'm doing. I'm not really nervous about the lap stuff, but a bit nervous about the stage since they don't have a pole to play around with. My friend encouraged me to go to this lap place because he says I'd make more than a pole club, and not have to "dance for dollars", or potentially get money stolen onstage by other dancers on with me, as I overheard they've done at Rick's by other dancers.
I've got a simple bag packed with only the essentials and a lock, as well as my indispensable Treasure chest shoes.
I really wish I were going with someone to buddy up with, but oh well! Some things we must do on our own. Will let you know how it goes!
