It's been about 4 months since I've danced. The last place I worked was a dive in Tulsa, OK (and the customers there creeped me out enough to quit). But now I'm living in OKC and I'm starting up dancing again, in a somewhat nicer club. I've lost weight since I danced in Tulsa and my nervousness has nothing to do with my appearance (or very little, at least). I'm more nervous about whether I can do better this time around, sell more dances, etc. We don't sell drinks at this club, and I'm not sure yet whether that's going to be more or less stressful. But I will need to sell a lot of dances. I've been reading threads on how to sell the most dances, and they are giving me confidence.
I guess I'm just wondering...if I'm this nervous, is this really the job for me? I mean, I start on Sunday, which is a pretty slow night, which is probably for the best. (And I'll let you guys know how the first night went.) I'm not sick-to-my-stomach nervous, but I'm doubting my skills.
What makes it a little worse is that my friend wants to come visit me at work and buy a couple of dances off me. I feel bad charging him money for these dances, but I have to, and what if he thinks I'm a terrible dancer? What if I screw up and make some horrible faux pas?
Anyway, that's what's running through my mind right now. Sorry for the novel. Hopefully somebody can tell me to either do this or GTFO.
*hugs*.
Hazel
