    Default are the clubs in chicago doing that bad? or is it just me?

    so i tried to audition at the only two clubs in chicago today and each of them told me to fill out an application. one said theyre doing really bad right now and the other said theyre going to hire again in mid august. I have never been turned down to audition EVER! Is this standard for chicago or is it just their way of telling me they dont want me?
    i find it extremely difficult to understand how the only two clubs in an enormous city could be doing bad! It's not like they have any competition besides each other!

    The problem is, I think, the girls that DO work there are beginning to get frustrated at the recent influx of new girls (most never having danced before), so to keep the dancers happy, many clubs are in a hiring freeze. Happy dancers = happy customers = more $$$

    Don't take it personally, plan a work trip for a week or so, assuming you're not in school or have kids or something like that. Go to a new city, I would personally try more suburban areas opposed to the major cities. Also, try a dive bar, sometimes those are gold mines.

    I never liked one of those clubs, and the other is struggling (probably the same one that told you that). If you can, go to the suburban clubs. I live in the south suburbs so I danced at clubs in Illinois along with NW Indiana. I liked these smaller clubs because house was cheaper (and some clubs didn't have house), less competition and easier hustling.

    This IS my work trip! :-( Ive never had such a big problem getting an audition! I mean they wouldnt even bring the manager down to take a look at me. I dont live in chicago, i was hoping to work here :-(. Im really upset because if I dont find a club I cant write off this trip :-( and i will be going 2 weeks without any money coming in.
    I do better in major cities than suburban areas, mostly due to out of towners on business I guess.
    I am going to try two clubs about an hour bus ride away tomorow but I really dont have that many options. I dont have a car here and its 50 bucks a day to rent one :-( and im staying downtown

    Yeah Ive heard vips is getting picky about out of town girls. I dont have a problem since Ive been traveling in to work there since 97 butIve heard other out of state dancers have. Plus they are really picky there and if you do come from out of town you need to be a 9-10 since they already have tons of hot girls. Try Heavanly bodies the tip outs high but you can make money there and they like having tons of girls so you shouldnt have a problem or scores. Good luck.

    sucks that i am not a 9 or 10:-(
    They didnt even ask me to audition though...like maybe I had a 10 body and they didn't know it!
    Anyway I am going to try two more clubs today, and if those dont work out I'm going to have to beg for rides to the clubs outside public transport :-(
    Seems there are a few clubs by the airport. Anyone know any cheap motels by OHare?

    Look up hotels in schiller park. You will be close to both scores and heavanly bodies and also allstars but they will not hire out of town so just say your moving there if you like it and want to work. Are you staying in a hotel downtown? If so move to the subarb I told you. You will be within 5 miles of all those clubs I mentioned. If you like h.bs you can stay right across the street at in town suites for like 159 a week. Its like a 2 star hotel but Iam picky and stayed there its clean and decent and you will have a kitchen. I didnt mean to imply you werent a 9-10 since I havent seen you but vips is picky. You shouldnt have any trouble getting hired at hbs if you are at least a high 7-8. They have there 9-10 too but arent as picky. Its not vips but Its aclean club trhats been there for years and has tons of regular customers. You will make money but you will work hard for it since dance prices are cheaper, vip ect but songs are like 2 1/2 minutes, so just hustle hard and good luck.

    There are more than two in the city. Pink Monkey, Admiral Theatre, VIP's, PoleCats (southside of the city but not downtown). And many quite close. Like Atlantis, Heavenly Bodies (tho I heard they aren't that great in the payin house area), Allstars, Scores...and a few more further out in the burbs. It really is rough in those clubs right now though.

    What are the best nights to work in chicago? Like for example, weekends are better than week days in vegas, and week days are better than weekends in NYC.

    weekends are always best but if you can steer from the admiral. it is getting close to winter and that place is dead when summer is over for the most part. some of my friends work there still and they are roughing it for sure.

    Chicago clubs are horrible anyway. They are nothing but shootings, shootouts, armed car jackings even in broad daylight, flash mob attacks in broad daylight, and by the way, Chicago flash mobs contain known/wanted cop killers as they are even known to deliberately attack on-duty police officers in their own squad cars!

    So please, don't bother with any clubs in Chicago, and especially Chicago's south suburbs east of Illinois 50/Cicero Avenue. Any metro area over run with those levels of violent crime is doomed to collapse one way or another. And when a city has that kind of an issue with violent crime in which even the police can not control it and/or there's that kind of corruption in the police department that they are unwilling to combat crime, the only thing you can do is stand back and wait for the fire to burn itself out. There are plenty of clubs much farther west of Chicago.
