    Smiley Audition TODAY at "my" old club!

    I danced at this club from 1994-1998, something like that... LOVED it there, felt like home (weird for a SC, I know).
    This time around, plan A was to work about 30 mins. away, just over the state line, with less likelihood of getting found out... I have a semi-conservative day job and a pretty messy babydaddy... but then I went and worked over there and was underwhelmed and kinda skeezed out by the whole scene, soooo...
    Plan B it is: I've decided not to give a fuck, and to work where I want to work, where I feel comfortable, and if I'm "busted", OH WELL.
    I am so ridiculously excited; maybe a tiny bit nervous but just in that first-day-of school kinda way...
    This place was a big part of my life for years. I still dream that I'm back working there sometimes, and here I go auditioning with the intent of *actually* working there again.
    I'm sure things are different there since 1998, just like things are different everywhere since 1998. There's one dancer who I've heard is still there, and she was in her 30's back then!
    It's kinda surreal-feeling.
    I dunno why I'm posting this, just because I'm about to burst, I guess. I go in at 3... I'll let y'all know how it went.

    Welp, even though I suffered from the worst case of bambi legs *ever*, I did get hired. There were only 3 or 4 dudes in the club, which is fine as there were only 3 dancers (not counting me). All but one of them were occupied with dancers doing their thing. One guy at the bar tipped me $5 for my 2 song set. Respectable.
    I don't ever remember being that nervous on stage! I was shaking like crazy, and not particularly graceful... my transitions from pose to pose were awkward, and I just kept repeating the same few "moves" over and over... either on my knees or clinging for dear life to the pole.
    I'll get better... right???
    I start fo-real next Saturday.

    Congratulations! You'll totally get back into the swing of things after a few shifts, don't worry. Good luck next week!

    Yes, it gets better!

    One of the things that'll make a big difference is the muscles you'll develop after you work a few shifts. It takes tiny muscles to help you smooth out those transitions from move to move, and it take big muscles to support your body as you walk around in 7" heels. All of your muscles need a stripper makeover.

    I'd definitely recommend practicing some moves at home: watch stripper floorwork videos to study up. Practicing at home is important because right now, only a few moves are recorded in your muscle memory. So when you get on stage, the only moves that come to mind are the couple that you've practiced over and over. It takes time and practice to add new ones to your repertoire. And as you get less nervous, your brain will be able to focus more energy on remembering the stuff you worked on at home.

    Keep us updated! Often first shifts are scarier than auditions, because you start feeling pressured to make money (whereas auditions are just 'interviews').
