    Question Heel Dilemma

    I am very interested in dancing and I am going to audition next week but I was wondering are those super high 5 in.+ shoes required? I know I will ask the management next week but I was just wondering cause I'm already tall as it is. I am 5'9" and wearing those shoes would make me more of a giant! Do you think 3-4 in. heels would do fine? I would be soooo much more comfortable/confident walking around and dancing in those.

    i have the same prob, but i'm just shy of 5'10''!

    i do think that being this tall will be intimidating to the men, but at the same time i'm not sure i want to forfeit the appeal heels like that bring because i'm tall.

    so! my plan is to rock the high heels and accept the fact that being a giant might make me have to hustle a little more (i.e. approach them a little more than most may have to?) than the a petitie (and imo ideal) girl may have to.

    i'm also thinking of getting a bit of a dominatrix persona as enough men like that style and it'll work with my bigger frame.

    i would, however, love to hear other opinions on this!

    3 inch heels scream take advantage of the rookie from accross the room. I started at a 5 inch non platform shoe, and worked my way up. I'm nearing 5'9, and I enjoy being a head above most everyone else. It helps to see my pretty face better.
    Just please don't try to start out in the highest shoe you can find and walk around like a clydesdale the first mounth you work.
    I think 4 inches is a perfect place to start, as long as their actually dancer shoes. Just remember: tall=long legs. long legs=$$$

    I'm a scary 5'11 and wear 6 inch heels and it has always been to my advantage. Guys really do like girls looking long and lean and the giant heels help. Especially on stage - its all about presence. I agree with Susie, not wearing stripper heels just screams rookie to me.

    Plus its a great conversation starter when you find guys taller than you. "Wow! You're taller than me! You know that means you need to buy a dance from me, right?"

    i agree with all of the comments about how high shoes make you stand out, but i'm also afraid they will make me look HUGE.

    i don't have a stripper body yet (i'm thicker). i know no one is perfect and i'm sure i'll lose weight the more i do it, but in the meantime is it best i look like an amazon? or minimize my granduosity (not a word, i know ha) and wear 4 inch?

    I used to work with a girl who was over 6' and still wore the standard 6 inchers that most girls wear.
    She always seemed to be in the back doing dances.

    One thing you have to remember is that most of the guys you'll be approaching will be sitting down when you ask them for a dance... so while they're gonna realize you're tall... I wouldn't think they're necessarily going to immediately go "OMG YOU'RE MASSIVE!"

    Other tall girls I've worked with have worn very tall shoes on stage... but then worn lower heels while on the floor.

    Wouldn't know from personal experience... just pointing out things I've seen other people do.

    Yeah, I think 5" would be the best place to start, sorry hah but I think you'll get used to them quickly. Most 3-4" heels I have seen look more streetwear-esque, but it's really up to you. If you're not going to be comfy, what's the point?

    There are a lot of girls that I see who are 5'8 and up wear 6 inch heels, rarely lower:

    I'm 5'7 and think I'm 6'1 in my big stripper shoes.

    some clubs have rules on heel heights, most clubs will not let you work if you dont have some type of stripper shoes becuase it can scuff the stage and doesnt look as good. i have seen girls dance in 6 inch heels, no lower. i like anything from 7-8 inches, prefer 7 1/4, the 8 inches are a little to high but i do have one pair. anyways, i have a heel fetish and i love high heels, my regular shoes i.e. shoes i go out to clubs or bars in are always between 5and half to 5and 3/4 inches, i buy most of my shoes from steve madden bebe and macys because they make a good platform and a good high heel that is classy looking. anyways i went off topic, im 5'6 and i wear 8 inch heels sometime but there ar egirls at the club i work at that are about 5,10 without any shoes on and they wear six inch heels, until you get up to walk the guy to the couch room you cant tell how much taller you are then them since your tall dont wear anything over 7 inches or you will look rxtrelemy tall stick with 6 or 6 and a half inch heels and you will be fine

    5" is the absolute minimum for me, but I prefer 6". 6 gives you the heel height and a slight platform while still allowing you to feel like your feet are on the ground. I have a pair of 7" reds that are decent but they don't feel as durable as my 6ers.

    I am 5' tall without shoes. Fun size Don't want to ruin that with monster shoes, haha.

    exactly. I'm pretty sure your thickness would stand out more if your not wearing stripper shoes like everyone else.
