    Default Got turned down after audition, feedback please!

    Hello!

    So I have been looking to get back into dancing after about a 9 year break. I am 33 now... anyhoo, I went to audition at the Golden Dragon in Portland and was turned down! I know I am a little rusty, but damn... I have some pole moves, I am relatively fit and attractive, smiled, interacted with the customers. I probably did look nervous though. The manager said he just "didn't feel entertained" and like my energy just wasn't high enough. Basically it sounds like I bored him. I was shooting for slow and sensual. Oh well...

    I am feeling a little self-conscious now and wondering if it's me... I am getting a bit of cellulite on my butt, maybe that was it? I am just baffled. Please be bluntly honest, do I just need to tone up? Was it just this manager? I walked over to Rouge and they said I am hired no problem (didn't even watch me dance) but that they were booked already for tonight...

    My other though is maybe since Golden Dragon is an 18+ juice bar, maybe I don't look "under-age" enough, which I think is what they are going for. Thanks all! Attaching some pics, one with trying to show the cellulite...

    Oh and for the record, I have a pretty face, pretty big blue eyes. Not smoking hot, more like a 7 in the face. Skin is definitely not perfect but nothing a little concealer doesn't fix. I am regularly told I look mid 20-s...

    OMG, you've a GREAT bod, WHAT cellulite??? Your bod looks young! Maybe a tiny bit of toning on your tum, but really when you start dancing that'll follow.
    Mgr. sounds like an ass, who knows why they turn some girls down. Good luck @ the club you're @, if you really want to work the other place, wait a bit & try to go bk when the jerk isn't there?
    Good luck

    Besides, if you believe I god/universe etc then perhaps you got turned away from first place because yu would have had ongoing issues working there.

    You do have a great bod. The club would be lucky to have you.

    For sure. I definitely got a sketch vibe, and could tell from the first moment that dude was kind of a dick. Dodged a bullet I guess

    I worked here for a few hours in 2012 (yep, didn't even stay a whole shift) and yeah.....I won't get into details but........

    Count your blessings. You have a great, thin body. Most clubs would have welcomed you with open arms. Fuck them,

    I'm agreeing with everyone else, you do have an amazing body. You probably did dodge a bullet. I feel like it'd be better (you'd probably be happier) if you could find a place that appreciated your style of "slow and sensual." I hope you feel like the confident sexy woman you should feel like you are! Don't let this get you down, you're awesome, and you deserve an awesome place to work! ^.^

    You have a good body. The 'cellulite' you mention is very minimal I see in the third pic but I think it's the angle you're holding your body. regardless though your overall physique is amazing.

    Some people just like to act like a$$holes and tell you something negative about yourself to make themselves feel good or he could just have no tact. Either way take what he said with a grain of salt.

    Damn girl, you've got a way better body than me and I make great money dancing in PDX. I've never danced at the Golden Dragon but I haven't exactly heard glowing reports. Don't let some dickface get to you, go work at a club with less broke-ass 18-year-olds and more businessmen who want a sensual, sexy dancer.

    Thanks all I appreciate it! Yeah I was more surprised than anything. Who knows, maybe I came across as too chill and confident, and maybe he was trying to take me down a notch. I didn't give him the satisfaction though, just was like "oh really? Ok then, have a great night!"

    You all are very sweet and made my morning I will try again tonight, after my private pole dancing class

    I think you look amazing, you're definitely being hard on yourself. The guy sounds like a douche, just wait for a club that will appreciate you. I'm sure it will happen in no time.

    Uh yeah he sounds like he has a power trip and wanted to take you down a notch for his ego.

    Your body looks awesome so im positive that's not why they didn't hire you! Who knows why he didn't hire you honestly I guess just bad luck having to audition for him (because the problem is obviously him not you) don't let it discourage you from auditioning somewhere else I know you'll get hired.

    Omg was not expecting that hot body but dayum you hot!
    Maybe he thought you'd be too much competition for the other girls or they just had too many girls already, there could be so many reasons but you are not one of them.

    205 snapped me up that's where I really wanted to work, anyway. I am much more of a stage gal. yay!
    Thanks for all your encouragement, you all helped me get back on the horse!

    Yeah, Golden Dragon definitely wants the underage look.
    I hear 205 is good though so I think you are better off!

    OMG YOUR BODY IS BANGIN !!! On topic - I know a dancer in her 30s who recently worked at Golden Dragon and made money, but it is mostly really young girls because it's an 18+ spot. Just try another club- you're hot! Try Mary's Club up the street they appreciate older dancers, and they have a sultry lounge kind of vibe it seems like you would fit into if you dance slower. I used to work there and have several friends who still do and love it, you just get very few shifts a week but the $ is great with no hustle.

    Club Rouge I've heard not great things but everyone has their own experiences so you might love it. And there are soooo many clubs in PDX if it doesn't work there, just keep trying and be confident! Sassy's, Hawthorne Strip, Pirate's Cove, Rose City Strip, Lucky Devil are all places I would send you to be treated well by staff

    ETA: I just saw your later post about 205! that's a great spot too have fun!
