    Skull No audition, Just start dancing!

    Hello ladies. I'm new on the site and have done a bit of reading. Most clubs seem to do an audition first. I'm going to be starting at the best club in my city. I live in a border town, so I'm more comfortable starting here knowing theres good security ect.

    So I went in with a friend of mine last night to scope it out and actually (pay attention to how the club works this time!) and I was diggin it. So I talked to management and they were all for me dancing there! Guy were already offering me alcohol (luckily it's not hard for me to politely say no thanks!) and buying me dances! The girls seemed nice for the most part, a few seemed kind of catty as soon as the heard I was considering dancing there. The club was nice a packed, lots of girls and lost of customers. Mostly military guys.

    I've waitressed at a club before, so I'm familiar with the basics of how the clubs work (tip out, rotations, dances ect) however, I've never actually danced. So I'll probably be starting this Wed. One of my artists gf worked tehre and she's been totally nice. Said she didnt mind if I go in with her and what not, and been a big help as far as easing my nerves. She goes in around 9pm (when the customers start arriving) and I've been debating if it'd be more comfortable to go in early when there isn't a whole lot of people there, or later once theres more people and theres less focus on *just* me.

    Any tips for a new dancer who is just kind of being thrown on stage ?(for lack of better words)

    *What would be a good type of music to start with? There's 4 stages and you begin on 1 and rotate around. your music plays when you're on 1, so there's 3 other songs you gotta dance to after that that aren't your choice! I'm pretty sure the DJ makes the music flow pretty nicely.

    *What are some tips as far as approaching customers for potential dances? How do you nicely suggest that time is money, if you're still on the floor, sitting with them at they're table? Without getting stuck talking to the same group of guys?

    *How do you handle it when people you know come in, if you don't want customers knowing your real name? Not that I really mind they know I'm dancing that night, but I'd imagine its kind of mixing 2 worlds.

    *Whats the best advise for a new dancer to get along well with the other girls, b ut not too too well. I'm not a very confrontational person, and I'm more intimidated by the drama. I'll be one of the few alternative girls there, and I'm sure my music isnt exactly what other girls would be comfy dancing to. Where's a good place to meet in the middle without being too nice, or too bitchy?

    *Still trying to think of a good stage name!

    I think that's all the oddball questions I can think of for now. I'd truly appreciate your responses! I hope these arent repeat questions! I'm still learning the site!

    I think hustle hut has a lot of good advice on how to approach guys and what to say so you're not sitting too long wasting your time.

    As for music, I think you should definitely dance to what YOU want to dance to. At least you get that for your first song. It'll put you in a good mood for the rest of your stage sets.

    For getting along with other dances. Just be yourself. You're not there to impress them. They're not paying your bills are buying dances from you. Be polite, but if they give you a hard time, just ignore them.

    If you are going in with someone you know, then I think you'll be fine starting when it's busy. Me, personally, I always start new clubs on a slower night or at a slower time so I can ease myself into the club. Scope it all out.

    Oh, and what do you look like? to try to help with a stage name...

    Good luck!

    I'm still new myself but have gone through this process already. So here it goes...

    *What would be a good type of music to start with? Since your music only plays for the first song, just pick whatever you feel comfortable dancing to. I know I make the most stage tips when I'm really ~feeling~ a particular song. I'm not sure what your taste is but... "I Get Off" by Halestorm and "Riot" by Three Days Grace are both my favs.

    *What are some tips as far as approaching customers for potential dances? It depends on your club... I still see one girl at my club go up to guys, touch their shoulder/chest, introduces herself, and then asks "Wanna dance?" However, most girls would sit with a guy for around 2-3 songs, chat, then ask for a dance. Just make sure you're REALLY utilizing your time. Time is money in this job!!! It is essential that you remember that. Don't bother sitting around talking with time wasters. Make conversation, flirt flirt flirt, then go in the for the kill. My house mom said it best: "The guy isn't gonna get up and walk away from you!!!" It's so true though. If he can sit and talk with a beautiful girl without her leaving, he will, duh. So it's up to YOU to make the move. A good line to use on these kinds of people would be like "Okay, enough talk, I'm ready, Let's go in the back and play!"

    *How do you handle it when people you know come in, if you don't want customers knowing your real name? I'm not sure about this one... If someone you knows comes in and starts saying "HEY _______!!!" You could try just looking away like you didn't hear them, or just say within earshot of customers around you "They must have me confused for someone else..."

    *Whats the best advise for a new dancer to get along well with the other girls, b ut not too too well. Just be polite and professional. Bring your own stuff, keep it all in one neat spot, smile at some girls, make small talk like "What's your stage name? How long have you been working here? Do you like it?" etc. That's what I did and I was lucky to have all very nice girls.

    *Still trying to think of a good stage name!
    Just pick one that you like, fits your persona/look, and feels natural for you to say...since you're going to have to introduce yourself as that name everytime you talk to a customer.

    Hope this helps!!!

    Thanks ladies! Sorry! I'll change my av, i've been seeing that one alot! I've being poking around the Hustle hut, of course, I found it after I posted this topic!

    I appreciate your responses! I bought a few outfits and what not, just gotta get shoes! I'll post a picture as soon as I get my little one to bed here in an hour or so. I've got bright red hair and colorful tattoos ... been considering Scarlett.

    Also, since having a 3 year old, its been a struggle with my tummy. If I'm upright and what not I can keep it flat for the most part, but I have a slight "deflated balloon" effect. I've been doing sit ups hoping itll help tighten it up, and it's working out ok. Still using my gym membership.

    One more thing. I had surgery a few weeks ago. I had a gnarly cyst on my ovary and had it removed. The scar is easily hidden beneath my panties, but am wondering.. how long before I should be ok to start learning pole tricks (nothing fancy, but I'm not supposed to be lifting anything heavy, I'd imagine including myself!) Or do yall think I'd be okay for low end stuff?

Or do yall think I'd be okay for low end stuff?

    Comb through the threads in Hustle Hut and Dollar Den. But here are my few helpful hints.

    *What would be a good type of music to start with? There's 4 stages and you begin on 1 and rotate around. your music plays when you're on 1, so there's 3 other songs you gotta dance to after that that aren't your choice! I'm pretty sure the DJ makes the music flow pretty nicely.
    --You could start your first week by telling the dj to play different music each time you are on stage 1 so that you can find what you move best with. While you may love on type OTC you may move better to something completely different. The best part about this job sometimes is that you get to experiment constantly with new things.



    *What are some tips as far as approaching customers for potential dances? How do you nicely suggest that time is money, if you're still on the floor, sitting with them at they're table? Without getting stuck talking to the same group of guys?
    --Always approach with a smile and a positive attitude. You will eventually fall into a more comfortable 'you approach' towards people. Never try to make them uncomfortable or nervous in your presence, you want them to feel welcomed so they are more relaxed and willing to come back in and see you again. Don't out right say "Oh I can't stay any longer you are wasting my time." You can always say something like "Okay dear, I will be back in a little bit to see if you are ready to get a dance/play with me." Gotta be playful sometimes because it helps big time. Walk around and talk to everyone. Stop at every customer. Think of it this way if you ask ten people you 9 say no, you still get that one yes and that is still money in your pocket. You can then later on go back to the others and ask again. Persistence is key but don't become and annoying nat in their ear



    *How do you handle it when people you know come in, if you don't want customers knowing your real name? Not that I really mind they know I'm dancing that night, but I'd imagine its kind of mixing 2 worlds.
    --Keep your personal life completely separate from your work life. Better off not giving out your real name or any kind of personal information. Don't do it online or ITC. Ever. Think about your safety first.




    *Whats the best advise for a new dancer to get along well with the other girls, b ut not too too well. I'm not a very confrontational person, and I'm more intimidated by the drama. I'll be one of the few alternative girls there, and I'm sure my music isnt exactly what other girls would be comfy dancing to. Where's a good place to meet in the middle without being too nice, or too bitchy?
    --Don't get into their personal business. Don't walk in your first night and say hi to everyone and just yammer on, it's super annoying for most girls on the receiving end. Give it time some may come up to you right away and introduce themselves and tell you how things work there and some may not. In time you will just slip into where you fit in their group, even if they aren't your best friends. Just be friendly.


    *Still trying to think of a good stage name!
    --Remember that work should be your alter ego not who you are every single day. Look around at baby names and see what jumps out at you. You don't have to go all crazy. I would suggest going through the "Worst Stage Names" thread too.




    --As for being in shape its best to remember you have to take care of yourself, don't kill yourself to get it though. Just stay healthy. And you can learn pole tricks when you think you are ready. If you aren't for any reason don't second guess it. You gotta be absolutely sure so that way when you do you aren't hurting yourself in the process.

    Okay so I've attached a picture. A friend of mine suggested Ginger, haha but I'm always changing my hair color so that might not go too well.

    Pretty, I like your hair!
    Why not go for Chaos?
    There was another thread where a girl had hair similar to yours, Blaze was mentioned a lot. I really like that.

    Ginger for some reason always reminds me of an older lady.

    Do you want something stripperish or like a real name?

    Well, Chaos is my alias on Suicide Girls. I thought about it for sure. But I've heard a few girls in the city who've used taht name before, and they all have kind of a bad wrap. (my ex used to manage a club, not a good club at that! A girl there was named Chaos, always fighting, drunk, ect ect) I don't really want my name to be associated with anyone like that. That and as far as my personality... on the net, totally fine. But in person I'm a much more mellow person.

    I kind of want something similar to a real name, though it might be questionable. I might go with Scarlett.

    p.s. bought my first heels today! Theres a neat lil store right up the street an asian lady run. Stripper heaven!

    You already look totally strippified with your outfit + makeup palette + SG logo . You look like you'll do just fine!

    Scarlett is hot....I like that. I don't think I've ever danced with a Scarlett either, so it makes it that much better.

    (also, my name on SG is Meadow...GAAAAYYYYYYYYY)
    I couldn't think of anything at the time. :/
