    Smiley I did it... now I'm hooked!!

    Hi lovelies,

    So I had been thinking about being a dancer for almost two years and this week I finally made the leap and auditioned! What a relief!! I feel so great about my decision now... being on stage is something that I was born to do and now I really feel like I've found something that can change my whole life!

    The audition was so great, I did three songs, made $30 and got asked for a private dance by a customer (haha!!) which unfortunately I couldn't do because the management said "stage only"... boo. I told the customer that I will be back though ;-)

    So two things- first, I signed with a booking agent and I'm "on call" for two weeks... would it be rude for me to call him and just say "hey I'm checking in from the other night and wanted to let you know I'd love to work anytime"?? Can I audition to be a house girl at another club if I've already signed with an agent?

    Oh, and I picked the stupidest name EVER and I really want to change it!! Hopefully I can do that... when I told my boyfriend and my friends what it was they all busted out on me and told me it was horrible. Don't ask me what was going through my head when I told the DJ my name was MEDUSA!!! LOL

    I think I'm gonna change it to something a little less "ugly"
    Aiden (I'm Irish), Skylar (I just like it), Kairos (has a lot of meaning to me- I have a tattoo of it), and Daria (from the TV show!!) are all in the running.

    Ok I'm sorry I probably just broke every rule on the newbie board but I'm so excited!! And a big big thanks to all of you guys that post here- reading the forums before the audition helped so much.

    There's never any hurt in calling.

    I like Aiden or Skylar. They both sound fun. Kairos is hard to remember and Daria will make people think of Daria, who wasn't exactly a beautiful bubbly stripper. Your name is your image too.

    Changing your name shouldn't be a problem.

    I don't really know of any clubs that keep dancers "on call", so I'd suggest going ahead and seeing if you can work a few shifts or check out another club.

    haha medusa. That made my day (no offense). I'm so glad your audition went well! I hope my audition goes as smoothly as yours did ; ) What is a booking agent? How did you sign up for it?

    So I did end up working a full shift tonight, and I'm a little disappointed in both myself and the club I was at...

    I picked up a shift at a club that my guy doesn't book for (I guess that's ok), and the club was totally not my style. Big, three stage place that only plays heavy metal. It was completely dead too. The places that I can work through my agent are all small "dive bar" type places that are pretty typical in Portland, and this place I was at tonight was just too big.

    Anywho, wardrobe problems and shoe issues aside, I somehow decided not to hustle?! I did not sell a single private dance because I never asked. I wasted my time chatting with 3 guys only to get called to the stage every 2-3 songs and NEVER CLOSED A DEAL. And on top of it all, my last customer was a great guy who bought me a drink, we had nice conversation, the club was closing down and I felt stupid because I never gave him what he wanted... I know he had a wad of bills in his hand, he kept calling me "gorgeous" and "intelligent" and a "doll" and then of course I somehow managed to not get him to VIP. What the hell is my problem?! He gave me a hug and said he would come visit me at one of my normal clubs, but why would he if I didn't give him a dance tonight? If I would have just gone for it, that might have been the difference between a slow-ass $20 night and a big bank deposit.

    What do I do? I've read hustle hut, I just don't know what I was thinking!!!

    Check out DancerWealth.

    Also, try not to get into deep conversations with guys. You need to stay in the flirtatious mode if you want to sell dances quickly.

    Yeah I made that mistake a couple times. They waste your time and money. After a few minutes, or less, just say, "It's been so fun talking with you, let's continue this in the VIP/Champagne room/Private Couch/Whatever, and I'll give you a lap dance too!" *smile and wink*. If they're not going to buy a dance I just say "Its' been fun talking with you. My name is ______. Come see me again, we'll have a good time. I'll be here on _______."

    At some point you'll need to memorize these responses because you're going to use them again and again and again.

    Hey nothing is wrong with being a madusa...one look turns men to stone! Don't let other peoples opinions change your personality, know who you are as a dancer, and go for it.

    I'm here to make money. NOT make friends, if I make a friend then it's a bonus.

    I'd rather be absolutely ridiculous that absolutely boring
