    Default Hey from Orlando.

    Hey ya'll. I've been lurking on here for a couple months now.
    I'm not a dancer, but I hope to start auditioning at clubs at the end of the month.
    Just to let you know a little about me, I'm 23 and I live in Orlando, Florida.
    I've heard this is a shitty place to dance (and I can see why) but I figured I'd give it a shot and see what happens.
    Well, I just wanted to introduce myself, so now when I post in the newbie section I feel less creepy!

    Also, I just want to say that I'm so happy this site exists. It's already been so useful and provided so much information. I know I wouldn't feel even half as prepared or confident if it weren't for these forums. So thanks.

    Welcome to SW! Yeah, Orlando has the reputation for not being the best place to dance because the city tries to cater so much to families and is strict. Who knows though... you may do well there.
    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    You might want to give The Lido in Cocoa Beach a try, it's a nice medium sized club with a more relaxed atmosphere, and a good club to start. That was my distinct impression when I was there, and I've heard it from many dancers who worked there. I think it's probably slow there like most of Florida in summer, especially with the current recession, but it's probably as good a place to start as anywhere in Orlando--unless the drive would bother you.

    There are several girls in my club who drive down from Cocoa, I will ask them how it has been recently.

    Also, our most esteemed member Velvet danced there many years, she could probably verify or correct this information.

    What a shame about Orlando, when I first moved to Florida (to Daytona, but most of my real estate clients were in Orlando) it was still a great place for stripclubs. Not long after that, though, the Bible Beaters in the county on the north side, where most of the clubs were, got severe new laws passed and the clubs went to shit very quickly.

    Hey I recently heard the Harem Club (formerly called Booby Hatch I think) in Orlando was closing and would not get its liquor license renewed if the owner went under (they do not want new clubs, but would have to honor the license if it was done correctly).

    The Harem Club is in a building shaped like a giant pair of tits, nipples pointing skyward. One of the most ridiculous, tacky, hilarious, and brilliant sights I have ever seen. There were a lot of drugs and shit going down there, though.

    You should drive by just to see the building!

    Oh and welcome to SW...


    Oops looked it up to find the old name of the club which was funny as hell, and the second name (and current name) is actually Club Harem:

    Do yourself a favor and head to either Cocoa Beach or Tampa.

    Welcome to the board! If you end up working in Tampa, let me know where.

    Thanks, guys.
    I was thinking about just commuting to Cocoa or something, but I figured I'd start out here first to kind of get a feel for things and then go from there.
    My roommate used to dance here a couple years ago and seemed to like it, so we'll see.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure this place is shut down.

    My friend Kent used to DJ at a place on East Colonial called Dancers Royalle that sounded like it might be a good place to start off. I never made it over there as that was when the shit hit the fan up in Daytona, but he liked it there, it was more relaxed, and he was a lot better than the usual Daytona DJs who weren't so good.

    But hell I don't even know if he is still there. Might be worth dropping by the place to see what it's like. Also I texted my friend Maria who lives up there, I don't think she wants to dance in Orlando but she has done it all over Florida so will have a good idea maybe.

    Keep us posted on how it goes.
