    Default Would I be a good candidate to dance?

    I have some good qualities. I have a body like Abigail Ratchford only I'm shorter have a bust that's around a cup size or so bigger. I am at the same time called small in size. I am pretty. If I might say so myself. I am like Jessica Alba's color when she's tanned naturally I have really full lips some would say big a really small tiny nose and large brown eyes I have a dollish face without trying all I have to do is work on skin care. I have a friendly personality. I can be very friendly but Im also not pushy I try to make sure people are happy and in their personal comfort zone.

    Things I'm concerned about. I can't dance that well. I know somewhat how to move my butt but not by a lot. I'm not very forceful in getting people to part with their money. And I don't know if I didn't make a lot of money would that get me fired? Also I'm in vegas and I'm not white. I am Louisiana creole and Dominican and Irish and cherokee and african american descent. I look hispanic so I've heard. Well in the range hispanic, middle eastern, north african, indian etc... But definitely not white which I'd think in vegas which is predominantly white that would leave me as a disadvantage? not sure. And my hair isn't all that long it's a little past chin legnth I like my hair short but I wanted to do weaves. But not sure what color would be best. Would it be best to go blond or light brown? Or darker? My hair color is about a level 6. So it's light to medium brown. Are clip ons the most versatile option?

    Stripping entails very minimal amounts of dancing, so your lack of dance skills is a non-issue. The lack of forcefulness is a much bigger problem, particularly in a city like Vegas, but you may be surprised at how good you get at it once you start stripping. I've always hated sales and never felt I was particularly good at them, but I really thrive at selling in the strip club, so you never know. As long as you're willing to put forth the effort to learn and improve, you might be alright.

    Generally, clubs don't really care if you're not making money, so long as you keep coming back and paying your house fee. I mean, in clubs where they get a cut of your earnings they obviously prefer you to make money, but unless you get fat or ugly, most clubs won't fire you for not being a top earner.

    Not being white can sadly put you at a disadvantage in terms of getting hired as many clubs have quotas on how many black/non-white dancers they'll have on their roster and on each shift. All you can do is show up looking your best though and you should be able to find at least one club that'll hire you.

    Good luck!

    Dancing skills required for stripping are far from Bolshoi standards, you would need some very basic moves and usually that would suffice; sales skills are way more important. My advice is doll up yourself, be confident and go for them, you'll be fine; I wish you good luck, and enjoy.

    I know at my job we're supposed to be forceful I'm more informational than anything. How much are housefees?

    And I don't normally get perceived as someone who is black or mixed more the things inbetween. I wonder if they have quotas for latinas too? Which is what I mainly am. Creole and dominican is Latino.

    Varies by club and shift.

    You'll probably be fine then.

    House fees can be $0 to $100 depending on the shift. You are also usually expected to tip out the dj and management. My usual house fees are $20. Knowing how to dance isn't that important! Try it out

    You don't need to know how to dance. You won't get fired if you don't make money, so long as you pay your fees. Every club is different regarding fees. Don't worry about your race. Put clip-ins in that match your natural hair color, do your makeup, and look good and you should get hired.

    Practice asking for the sale. I haven't worked in Vegas in a long time, but when I was last there, dancing ability didn't matter at all. All you had to do was look good and sell hard. An aggressive personality type does well in Vegas.
