Firstly I just wanted to thank the creator and all the posters within this forum; it has been an absolute wealth of information. I'm 21 and have been thinking about becoming a dancer for the past three months, researching by following girls on twitter, tumblr, facebook, etc. and reading some auto-biographies. I've also started using google reviews to find out what kind of men frequent the clubs I'm interested in, what they like and dislike, etc. I'm based in Kent, in the UK, just below London, so I have been emailing London clubs and got a couple of replies about auditions; Platinum Lace, The Windmill, Metropolis and Spearmint Rhino. I appreciate there aren't too many UK users here, and from what I've read, it sounds like a tough market. My friend works in Stringfellows and is going through what she is calling a "dry patch" (but she still earns double the amount I earn in a day!)
I've read all of the Newbie Sticky Threads which have been really useful. I'm getting quite excited about 'creating' my stripper persona. I do have some little niggles in the back of my mind, which have been addressed on the forum but they're still there:
1) I have tiny boobs. I mean 30A tiny. I'm very slim and toned and I'm happy with the way my body looks but I'm just not sure if men will feel the same amongst all the lovely boobs! But hey, you don't know until you give it a try.
2) I can't really dance. I feel good when I dance, and I think I could blag it with attitude, but I mean... I have a little doubt in my mind that when I'm up on that stage, completely starkers in front of girls who have been doing it for ages, and men who are used to seeing fluid rhythmic movements that I might just freeze with images of Pinocchio flashing through my brain! (Hopefully this won't happen...)
I guess I've already made my mind up that I'm going to give it a go, since I have nothing to lose and y'know, try everything once. I have firm ideas about budget and what I want to achieve with any money I make, but it's hard to budget savings when you have no idea what you will earn. I'm posting here because I was just wondering if maybe I'm over-thinking things. Before I audition I am planning to get 10 weeks worth of pole lessons (y'know, to actually touch one for a start), hit the gym to get some flexibility and more fluidity to my movement (hopefully). I was also going to invest in a proper manicure, pedicure and spray tan before my audition, and of course, a new outfit. This means I probably won't even have my audition for another 2 months. I'm wondering if I should just bite the bullet and go in completely new (lamb to the slaughter?) and do my nails and tan myself, and hope for the best, and go to the gym, etc once I'm earning?
For the first few months I am planning to keep my day job and work Thurs, Fri, Saturday, then go part-time at my day job and work Tuesday-Saturday, and then eventually dance full time. Hope I'm not getting too ahead of myself....
Anyway, sorry for my ridiculously long post, I just wanted to say hi, thank you and to voice some anxieties which I guess everyone has at first (?!).
Thanks,
Lily.
