First let me say i've retired from dancing several times. I keep coming back every year or two when I hit hard times financially and need the extra cash (I have a full time job but I'm going to school and I'm a single mom). Normally my first night back is horrible, painful, and awkward...then after that I'm good to go and make decent money sometimes even top earner at the club.
But this time, I'm my 2nd night in and haven't sold not even one single dance. I've NEVER had a night EVER where I didn't sell at least one dance. Not even a two for one! I made about $25 each night, and that was just stage tips averaging about $6 or $7 per stage dance. The first night I didn't even sell a drink (which has also never happened). Tonight I really did hustle my ass off and I did a little better with getting drinks, but when trying to close on dances I got a lot of the "maybe later" and "i'm good for now" and "i'm out of money" etc etc only to see them buy dances from other girls.
I kept smiling, being friendly and playful, a little flirty, and nothing worked. I changed outfits, tried to appear busy, avoided hovering at the bar, stayed out of the dressing room unless I was freshening up, and I didn't stick around with guys that weren't interested in conversation and/or said no to dances (I only stick around for about 10-15 minutes if it's busy). I've decided to write off the first night, period. But tonight I'm very discouraged because the rest of the girls had wads of cash by the end of the night, and I was just embarrassed with myself for not even breaking $30.
Any words of encouragement or advice would be greatly appreciated
