So after weeks/months of debating whether or not to dance, I finally went to a club this afternoon to at least try it out. The manager said I could start work immediately. So I hit the floor about 7. I learned how the club works, met a couple of the dancers, management was super nice.
Anyway, I think it was kind of a dive. Lots of rolly-polly girls and neon everywhere. It was pretty dead...just a couple of men watching football and a group of drunk rednecks that weren't spending. One older guy was all excited about me being new and took me for a dance. I know I was totally awkward, but he said it was very good for a beginner. He had to leave, though, so I went back on the floor and tried making small talk with other custies. Then it was my turn on stage. LOL I don't even remember what I danced to, I was so nervous. I felt okay, but I know my transitions were awkward. The bartender said it was great for a newbie, and that I just needed to smooth it out. One dude tipped me a whole two dollars.
So, I continue trying to "hustle" customers for dances, but they all seemed to be there to drink beer and watch the stage, even though they rarely tipped. As I'm watching the other girls' sets on stage, I'm seeing the girls motorboat guys with their boobs for a measly dollar.
So, fast-forward to about 9, and hardly anyone else has come to the club. I was sitting with a custie who bought me a drink but said he didn't want any dances, and I just started thinking, "I don't want to be here. I don't want to go on stage and show my boobs for two fucking dollars, and then just have guys tell me they're not buying dances."
Also, when I had been talking to the manager, he seemed really proud when telling me that some of his girls made $400 a night. And...if that's what top earners make, then I'm not so sure there's money in this club. So after feeling like I wasn't going to make any money and just depressed looking around the club, I told the manager that it wasn't for me and I was so sorry, but thanks for the time. He was understanding and really nice, and he seems like a great manager.
So I worked a total of 2 hours before leaving, which I know is pathetic, but I just had this intense need to gtfo. I'm thinking of trying another club, but I don't know. I think the area I'm in doesn't have much money right now, and I can't justify dancing topless and earning little more than minimum wage, which is what it sounded like a lot of the girls were making.
Sorry this was so long, but I've enjoyed reading other newbies' experiences and thought I would share mine.
