    Default working in ethnic clubs

    so i switched clubs.... and now i feel hella out place. like all the girls dance harder than me. i know its just do you but honestly its hurting my money BIG TIME. yesturday my second set really fucked me up mentally no bul. first my music started fuckn up then folks weren't really into it. our club doesn't have lapdances or even private dances so all you can do is make stage tips or hustle drinks. ranging for 20 to 1000$. tonight i'm supposed to work again.i'm happy but frustrated because friday and sat are the busiest nights and the manger has the nerve to put me up there. WHY would he do that to me haha like seriously damn.... i get kinda embrassed because i am black but i can't dance like that to save my life haha (I can BUT i can't do enough for a stage show). HELP!!

    Any friends you can practice with or give you tips?

    Don't wait to just practice at work, do it at home in the mirror to your favorite songs or even better- the music played at your club.

    There are tons of videos with strippers dancing that you can watch to get the moves down.
    Women of color:
    Shake your ass and preserve your heritage.
    Bang those fucking drums.
    Do it for the present and future generations.
    Have fun and stick it to the man at the same time.

    Yeah that was me not too long ago. I'm black and danced in majority white girl clubs where rap was barely played. Stage sets in those clubs were more sensual, ballet like or pole tricks for rock songs. I didn't realize you really had to put in work on stage in the black clubs. Like tire youreself out lol. It was frustrating at fist dancing to songs like BMF rick ross (never had to dance to trap music before then) and doing it in stripper heels omg. I tried to channel my weekend club going self into my dances. Definitely practice in your shoes. Dance like no one else cares even though chicks may very well be sizing up your stage performance. Just go hard in the paint (flaka!!!).

    PleasureVictim: last night i was talking to one of the best dancers this white girl (no offense folks just tryna make my point). she was like i can teach you if you want. being embarrassed and frustrated i was like really man o man, i was like hell. in my head i'm thinking i'm talking to a white girl about how to shake my ass. that kinda hurt my pride. i honestly don't know anybody else except one other person and i don't know how to find her we lost contact.

    Teebaby: LOL whats most embarrassing is for the most part the black folks don't even seem to give a hell about me (they are the majority of our clientele). i hear things like your one of the prettiest or best looking girls at the club but as far as my dancing they start talking to each other messing with their phones anything to not look at me haha. shit. white men are so much easier they don't expect as much honestly.

    What part seems to be the hardest for you? I know when I first decided to start dancing that I would have to learn to dance better because most guys in black clubs could care less about sexy and sensual. They want clapping, popping, bouncing etc. I couldn't do anything a few months ago. Then I took a pole dancing class (figured I needed to be good at something) and I asked one of the black instructors if she knew how to make her ass jump lol. She did and because I was the only one in that class she just taught me that the whole hour. Now I'll admit the first week or so, I could barely move my butt cheeks but little by little I got better now I'm a pro at it.

    But there's a lot to be said for youtube videos and practicing with full-length mirror in your bedroom. I can't believe how good I've gotten.

    No reason to have hurt pride. The ability to dance isn't DNA coded in people of color despite the stereotypes. She offered, you need it- take her up on it and get where you need to be!

    They are all telling you how attractive you are. When you get the dancing down, you will be a force to be reckoned with. The best dancer in the club couldn't change her features if she was ugly. Practice, practice, practice!

    OMG! U hit the nail on the head with this 1. Yesterday was my first time on the stage and I felt so akward. Because I had been practing at home and while I was on stage I just couldn't pull those moves off. Much harder in heels for 3 songs eventhough I danced 2 songs.. I'm in a all black club and and the girls there except 1 aren't pretty in my opinon but they can dance!


    They were twerkin them heels! Now I realise my shoes must be to small cause dancing hard my toes hangover...lol ohwell hopefully I can get the dancing down fast because I know I could make money if I knew how.

    Try taking there advice & help -since they're trying to nice to you. Many times this is rare for seasoned dancers to be being nice to new girl or to even try to help them.

    When I first started dancing -I looked like a damn retard on stage. Now I'm one of the dancers that alot like to watch the most on stage. Pay attention to what alot of the girls do on stage also that helps. Take alot of these little things & make them your own. Etc. Also, moving slow helps alot -slow is sexy.
