    Default Is it good to try a new club once in a while?

    I wonder if it really is better to try another club if theres nothing wrong with my home club. I'm not necc doing bad at my work but it's starting to feel too much like home. On the other hand, I get bad anxiety about being the "new girl" anywhere else. I understand that it's hard not to stare daggers at girls who are new, dance well, and seem like they are going to cut into your money. Thats something I definately have trouble with.

    So my question is:

    How many of you avoid trying new places because of a fear that it could be worse than where you were. Is there a benefit to putting yourself through that and could it make you appreciate your original club more?

    Tough question! It's good to know what's around because if anything bad should ever happen and you need to change clubs at least you'd know what your options are and already have a few friends. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with loving your club and wanting to be there. I don't really see any reason to rock the boat... but there's nothing wrong with going to other clubs as a customer to check them out.

    I work at several clubs in different cities and love it. I don't give a crap if girls give me dirty looks or treat me like crap (as long as they are not stealing or physically abusive). If girls are jealous then it means you're doing a good job. Doing this keeps me fresh and increases my earnings. Just be careful as some clubs do not allow you to work at clubs within a certain distance. So depending on the size of your city...be careful not get caught.

    Thats a good point, I should think about putting a little lock on a trunk or something if I do decide to switch for a little bit.

    I'd definitely recommend going in as a customer first with a cool male friend or in a group. That way, you can test the waters and get a general feel for the place.

    Some places that you visit, you may instantly know that despite its fancy reputation or decor, you don't get a great sense that you'd be happy there or like the clientele.

    Or, the reverse, a club which you initially didn't think would be that great could look like a lot of fun/$$$ and have you wishing you could audition on the spot! And, sometimes you can!

    I've done this a few times while visiting clubs with friends. I will often let the door guy know I'm a dancer and out with friends.

    The bouncer will sometimes inform the manager that a dancer is visiting and they might come out and say hello. Alternatively, you can ask for the manager when you are in there and ask them if they are currently hiring. The small talk is a good chance to hear a bit about the club from the manager/staff and see if you like what you hear.

    Then you can go in with a good sense of familiarity and not feel as 'green' to the club as you would if you were simply to show up and audition unannounced.

    Mostly I travel, and it's taken me a while to get used to the bars and the girls and other people who work there. For the most part, it's like being at home. Every so often I'll change it up and add a new club to the rotation just to see how it goes, but I like to stay with my tried and true places. They know me, I have my regulars, and I like and can trust the girls I work with. I guess it's different for everybody, but it's also up to you to figure out what you're looking for in a club and go get it.

    I used to think of the bar where I started dancing as my "home club," but that's since changed, and now I work mostly out of a different club in an entirely different state. As it turns out, I think I'm more appreciated at the latter. The other place where I started dancing, always treated me like I'd never be anything more than the "girl who won amateur night," rather than the girl who not only won amateur night, but was also hired as one of their house dancers...

    *IMHO, Amateur Night, and anything else like it, is a terrible way to get your foot in the door as a dancer. That's why I moved on and began to travel; I needed to be someplace that would let me just be a regular dancer, not someone with a second-rate billing on the marquis for the week (and a chance to dance on a stage where nobody can see me, FFS). I now know I've made the right choice. Now, I have regulars and have been dancing for several years. I occasionally pop into the bar where I started (mind you, I'd been dancing privately for a long time prior to ever getting up on a stage), and I'm no longer just some scrub who won the contest back in the day. But, that's just my experience, and personal opinion. I'm sure there are plenty of other girls who have probably had positive experiences with contests and shit.

    ANYWAY... Everyone isn't like me, a lot of girls don't have to travel or anything like that. I enjoy traveling however, and I also have found that it's fun to be the new girl in some instances. I like to make my run of seasonal places because I do work in the upper Midwest and there is decent money to be had if you know when to be where, but occasionally I do go elsewhere just for a change of scenery or to reunite with friends who also do the club thing. I personally like making "new girl money," and I also don't have a problem with getting along with people. Clubs and the girls who work at them may be different where you live, however.

    If I go someplace and I don't like how the money is, or I think the place has dumb rules, they don't enforce the rules (especially in the CR), management is bad, the place has structural damage or issues (one place had an inch of water in the bathroom and in the dancer's dressing room, another place had a PHONE booth sized dressing room for the dancers, and another place had ROOMS for rent above the "club" which were for sex - and dancers were required to make use of these facilities) I just don't stay. I'll leave a club in a heartbeat if I think there's anything fucked up about it, and go right back to a tried and true place and do my thing. I don't see any reason to be uncomfortable while you're working because it directly affects your attitude, and that DIRECTLY affects YOUR MONEY. I'm pretty easy going, though. I'll try any place once.

    I think if you've found someplace you feel comfortable, and you're making decent money, you might wind up feeling a little like Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz," when it's all said and done - everything you need is probably right there. Maybe you just need a week or two off or away from your regular place to get you focused again on what you're doing and why you're doing it. I think it's good to try a new place every so often, but I know plenty of gals are happy working where they're at.

    Good luck.

    I used to move around all the time. The customers like the new girl and spend generously on her. It also helps you develop your hustle, because you don't have any preconceived notions about the customers (who is cheap etc).

    Then when you return to your home club, you get a financial bump from the customers that missed you while you were gone. If you can afford to take a chance on trying another club, I highly recommend at least trying to see if it works out for you.

    a breath of fresh air is nice if you feel stale at your club. And yes, it will make you appreciate things a lot more. I miss how my old club worked over the summer to pieces, but o well, time to move on. Be careful about being seen working at the other one if the clubs are cutthroat among eachother.

    I would either work both clubs or leave your club gracefully and have it set up so you can come back whenever you want. Leaving your club doesnt have to be a permanent thing.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    Yeah they don't mind, I was gone for two weeks and people barely noticed! Can't say the same for the other clubs I might try though...

    Definitely - mainly because even if nothing is wrong at homebase, you never know what the future holds.

    I once worked at a club that I LOVED. I made great money, loved the management and loved all the girls I worked with. I was in heaven. Unfortunately the club got raided for drugs one night (damn dealers) and wound up being shut down - for 2 MONTHS!

    Fortunately there was another club I danced at once every 2 weeks or so, so I wasn't in too much of a panic (I was just pissed).

    I'd say just show your face at another place once in a blue moon just to be on the safe side.

    I think it's good if you can afford it/right timing. Make "new girl" money.

    And when you come back to your home club, you'll be refreshed. Making "refreshed girl" money.
