    Default Tommorrow Is My 1st Night!!!

    So tomorrow is my 1st night dancing! I'm excited & really looking forward to it, but I'm also prepared for what may go wrong just from reading all the "1st night" threads on SW.

    The one thing I'm concerned about is that I didn't really do my research on the club I'm gonna be working at...My audition was my 1st time being there & that was early Tuesday evening & I was only there about an hour.

    The club doesn't LOOK that bad, I mean it seems clean and everything, and the few girls I saw were decent looking. The dressing room is just a few mirrors on the wall in a basement, there's no lockers or anything & the girls just kind of had all their stuff scattered everywhere, purses and everything!

    What I found odd is that there is no DJ. Dancers have to pay a dollar to play whatever 2 songs they want for their stage set from the jukebox. And there were a few times where nobody was playing music and it was just silent! Apparently there is "sometimes" a DJ on Fridays and Saturdays. There was one guy standing at the door taking money when people walked in, but he was drinking and I would hardly call him "security"!

    There is no housemom, they're only open from 7pm to 2:30am, they fee is $10 that you pay at the beginning of your shift, $15 if you arrive after 7:30, except it goes up to $20 and $30 on Friday and Saturday.

    I've heard anywhere from $20-over $200 fees from reading on SW, but nothing as low as $10. That leads me to believe there's not much money to be made, right? And has anyone ever heard of, worked at a club without a housemom or a DJ?

    I know I should have probably been a little more selective, but I'm gonna give it a try and see what happens. If anything, it will give me a chance to get used to dancing & get in shape a little more, so if I end up wanting to switch clubs I won't be a complete newbie!

    Sorry this is kinda long, but thanks for reading, any feedback/advice is appreciated!!!

    The beauty about this industry is that if there isn't any money to be made there, you can always go elsewhere. But give the dive club a chance - sometimes you can bank in those. I know a few good clubs in my area that charge 10$ if you show up before 5, so it isn't unheard of to pay a low housefee. It's not necessarily an indicator that there isn't money to be made there.

    I would recommend bringing a lock for your bag since it isn't possible to lock it up, and don't bring anything you wouldn't mind losing. Carry your money/ID/phone/etc. with you on the floor.

    Good luck!

    10$ is really low for house fee. I worked a few shifts in the diviest club in my area which was pretty much what you described, $10 housefee and no dj. Everyone there was very nice and it was a good place to be as brand new dancer but I got pretty frustrated after 4 shifts of never being able to make more than 150 and switched clubs.

    There are good dives and bad dives, good dives have nice friendly staff and dancers, slower stream of customers, less/less attractive dancers, and are usually smaller, but you can still make money there because of the lack of competition mostly. Bad dives are crawling with extras girls that you can't compete with, have mean/lazy staff that don't give two shits about you, are dumpy, and customers don't spend a lot: its wayyy hard to make money at places like that.

    I also dance in a dive; is ok. There are a few extra girls, but I still can manage to make good money. Is run by a lot of military and ex military people, so they're always supportive with me.
