    Default Finally did it!!

    Finally went for my first night this past Saturday and boy that was nerve racking. I live in oak vile Ontario Canada and drove with my friend to guelph to try my first night. I am 25 years old 5'9" light skinned curvy girl. Everything was going smoothly. I got registered, paid my fee and got dresses. I was able to get one dance with a customer which made me feel real confident.

    Not to Long after it came to the DJ shift change. The new DJ approached me and said I can't work for the rest of the night because I'm to big which was a complete let down. He said the owner does not like my size type of girl working at this particular club. I have a 40 DD CHEST with a large bum and pudge for a stomach which has been impossible to get rid of after having my daughter 4years ago. though there was another girl there that was quite bigger than me so I was confused. But I don't like confrontation so I said ok and got my money back. I felt horrible after leaving!!!!!


    My friend I end that I went with was such a great support she took me to a different club to try in Mississauga. We got in pretty easy but I was so nervous here especially after what just happened. My self esteem kind of went down. I didn't end up making any money but got to talk to some customers who seemed to be cheap but hey I'm learning. The girls were super nice but I felt like a fish in a tank of shark. After leaving I felt like maybe this isn't for me but after thinking I have to keep trying I mean I've already started and I don't like to quit on things. I'm just soon shy when it comes to talking to men. I have a great personality though and I'm just unsure on how to start a conversation and keep it going as we'll as transitioning into asking for a dance. I plan on going back n a few weeks when I have some more money. Just thought I would share this. Maybe someone can give me some pointers

    Hey Nicole,

    Congrats on giving it a shot. It's a scary step to take but you did it!

    Sounds like the management in Guelph isn't all on the same page about they look they are going for at the club. That really sucks that they let you do the paper work and get changed and then asked you to leave. Super unprofessional! Sometimes certain clubs look for a particular type of dancer, with a particular type of body type and not everyone is going to be every clubs cup of tea. But the club should at least be upfront about that.

    My suggestion would be to read the Newbie and Hustle Hut sections over and over.... and over. There's loads of tips on there on how to get convos started and how to ask for a dance. I started fairly recently and I have found this website to be really informative.

    Good luck!

    Just because you see a similar or larger size dancer doesn't mean jack. Odds are she's been there for years.

    ^^That's what I was going to say. She's probably been there forever and has been loyal to the club consistently.

    I'd take these as signs, if I were you. Keep looking for a club that suits YOU. What is good for someone else won't necessarily be the same for you. If all the customers seem cheap, try a club in a potentially more lucrative area (such as by an airport, where there will be a lot of traveling businessmen and tourists looking to spend $)

    Part of being a veteran in this industry is simply about knowing WHEN to audition for WHICH clubs. I'd recommend that most newbies start out in friendly neighborhood dives. They're usually great places to master basic dancing skills without feeling like the whole world is watching you make mistakes. This is all a part of your learning process!

    Keep your head up and get your buns in a club for your next audition soon. Otherwise you might psyche yourself out of returning at all.

    Try to focus just on getting hired somewhere and working a single shift. The audition process is overwhelming enough - putting pressure on yourself to make a bunch of money right out of the gate will only give you more anxiety. One step at a time!

    The toronto area is super competitive, all the canadian aspiring models and actresses are there--and they need to eat while they wait for their big break
    I never worked in Guelph but I remember calling that club and the mgmt straight up asking me my height and weight--which made me uncomfortable and I chose to pass over. No one needs to feel on edge at work. When I started dancing I was a bigger girl, 5'7", 175lbsish, 36DDs. It's straight up harder to get hired without the stereotypical Barbie figure, It's not neccessarily harder to make money though--so don't be discouraged. Dancing is also really great for getting into shape, if you find a good club, work 3+ days a week, eat healthy (I recommend a Paleo style diet), and you will probably impress yourself with what will happen to your figure.

    I'd reccomend you try Nikki's near Woodstock, they hire a wide variety of girls, and the clientele is all pretty rural so their preference is generally for girls with more meat on their bones--it's also a country dive--probably a really good place to start and learn the ropes and get those first few months experience. Stay the hell away from missisauga unless you like watching other girls suck and fuck...
