    Default I've decided to audition tomorrow.

    Alright, amateur night is tomorrow at a local club, Jezebel's. I'm going to go for it. I've got an outfit, I just bought a pair of 4" heels.

    Those who place 1-3 in Amateur night instantly get offered jobs. I've never ever EVER danced before, so of course I'm nervous.

    Any tips you gals have for preparing myself? Any last minute body tips, whatnot? I do have a couple razor bumps on my tailbone from shaving... Also I'm just a tiny bit overweight (Like 10lbs over) and semi-toned. Will strong confidence be able to outweigh that? (no pun intended)

    Just do your thang and rock it. When I first started dancing, I was nervous before I went on stage, and then once I was up there, it was completely natural and I wasn't self conscious at all! Good luck!

    My only concern is that I haven't really practiced in my heels. I'll be wearing them all day today. I know I should probably practice walking a lot more than that, but I'm feeling really bold right now and I feel that now is the time to do it and I don't want to let anything get in my way!

    I understand that! Just remember to start with small slow steps. I thought I was going to die the first time I put them on. Its really awkward but you get used to it. Now when customers ask me if its hard to walk in "those things" I tell them its way more comfortable than my "civilian heels" haha well, it is!

    dont worry about it! I bought my 6 in heels the same night I auditioned and the first time i wore them ever was on stage.. I did fumble but with a cute smile and laugh it will just be entertaining =) jst have fun. Its a bunch of guys looking at you not chicks. Guys are not critical and they are not going to be thinking your doing something wrong. Just smile and have fun.

    I decided not to go after all. I talked to my sister who use to work there before I planned on going and she told me to avoid it and she wouldn't feel right sending me there. Jezebel's is a wolf pack club, with high-dollar girls and poorly lit corners. Upscale gentleman's club with plenty of extras going on where the lights don't shine, and if a girl doesn't know how to talk her way out of a situation, she'll be chased out in no time and owe the club big money.

    So I instead applied for my license (Jezebel's would have let me work day shift without a license; I planned on getting one anyway) and when it comes in I'll be applying at Pleasures.

    Qi: I'd recommend Pleasures - after going there a few times I've decided it's where I want to apply. It's a lot more laid back and while the clientele may be blue-collar, the management is a lot easier to work with. Jezebel's is nothing but a lion's den, and Michelle's Beach House is run by a bitch, even though the club is insanely clean (absolutely no extras, and hell it's even non-smoking, which attracted me at first until I heard what Michelle is like as a manager). And there's not a ton of guidelines at Pleasures. Most clubs have a standard clothed first song, topless second, and if it's a nudie bar, full nude by the third, but Pleasures lets the girls pretty much do whatever they want on stage.

    And you can still make bank! I asked around all the dancers what they make on an average week and answers ranged from $600-1200.

    That's banking? :S I guess if you only work on weekends.

    I don't know about pleasures. I was gonna go to Jezebels butn ow I guess I don't want to!
    My boyfriend is a good friend of the owner of Michelle's beach house. He's been doing her nails for years!!! (-_- steriotypical asian lol). He talked to her yesterday about me looking for a place to dance at.

    She said she'd be happy if I came by and to just call her and talk to her about it. She seems super nice. :S But maybe she's just crazy at work. I'll check out Michelle's and Pleasures both I guess.

    well yeah, $1200/week is bank when at my day job I only make $400/month. :\ It's also bank for a job that doesn't require a college education, or any education for that matter, and for Wichita, that's an insane amount of money. If you expect more, then you're in the wrong city. Salina's Wild Wild West Club is good, but it's about a 60-90 minute commute. Wichita is a Blue-Collar Club Town, and if you set your expectations at $2000/week then you'll be sorely disappointed.

    I would go to both clubs as customers first, talk with some of the dancers. NONE of the girls at the Beach House had anything good to say about Michelle. She makes you pay fines if you call in sick to work ($200 dock - she wants you to come to work first and have the house send you home if you're unfit to work), $400 if you're a no-call no-show. If you have a loved one in the hospital, her sentiments are "They're being handled by trained and professional staff; they'll be fine" She is a heartless bitch who only cares about her money and house fees.

    Pleasures is so much more relaxed, and the management is easy to talk to. Talk to Ginger or Rob; they're the evening managers. Stephanie, the day manager, is a bit more cold, but that's just because she's lower on the management chain and can't dictate or promise anything. I talked to Ginger a couple weeks ago and she told me I had a good attitude and she'd love to have me there, but I had to have my license first. Once I get that, she said that I can start immediately.

    Also, another thing bout Michelle's - since it's in Derby, license fee is $250 instead of $50 like it is in Wichita. Derby HATES the Beach House and doesn't want it open, hence the insane license fee. I'm not sure how Michelle feels on dancers without licenses working because she is under a lot of heat from the city.

    I've edited my post a couple times lol, go back and read it.

    I love Pleasures personally. As a customer it's a very nice place to go, and the dancers say they have a lot of fun. Also, unlike the Beach House, they do actually LOOK like they're having fun. Girls at Pleasures are from all walks of life - you'll see a very wide array of body types. The Beach House is a barbie club, but they all look miserable up on stage.

    Well heck. Pleasure seems like the way to go then. I don't have the kinda money to fork out workin' at Michelle's place. She always seemed so nice in person. Oh well.

    Yeah I realized Wichita wasn't the best place to make massive bucks, but I'm here for school and afterwards I'm headin' back to Dalls. ^^D

    I'll check Pleasures out then. Thanks for the helpful info!!

    ALSO!! If you're not familiar with Wichita's license system:

    You'll want to go down to the SEDGWICK COUNTY Court House downtown (on Main Street; it's a turquoise or aqua Blue building), second floor, for your license. It requires two forms of ID, four passport photos, and $50. It takes about a month to process due to the full background check. Good luck!
