    Default i failed epically

    I auditioned tonight. they put me on stage and i was stiff, awkward, and uncomfortable. When i had to take off my shirt i kept covering my boobs and trying not to make eye contact. i heard people laughing and saying i looked dumb. a guy came to tip me and i leaned down on the stage and he didn't move or anything, and i told him, " i don't know what to do." i kept doing the same repetitive twirl and shake. i felt like dying i was so embarrassed. he gave me a dolor and the manager cut the second song down by 2 minutes. he told me i was too shy and he wasn't looking for that i needed experience and to try out a small club. i feel so down on myself i don't think i want to do that ever again.

    98% of us sucked and were hella awkward during our very first audition.

    if you're not comfortable being topless in public then don't force yourself and I suggest you find another line of work.

    Aside from that my first time on stage there was 5 or so guys at the rail that all got up and left. I was so upset after I almost left and gave up on stripping but I went out and talked to one guy ended up getting the first CR of the night...

    i don't feel uncomfortable being topless, i feel uncomfortable being up on stage. i was told i looked like a model so i would get hired no matter what. I'm so disappointed in myself. My friend that was supposed to come in 5 minutes after me to be my mark bailed on me last minute. the other girl asked me if anyone was there to support me and i said no, and she said that was the only way she could pass her audition. I would have loved one person to be out there supporting me

    Aw, don't be so hard on yourself. I COMPLETELY SUCKED onstage my first time, but I smiled my way through it. Manager said my dancing needed work, but he liked my attitude. Most girls look like a deer in headlights their first time. It's very nerve-wracking to say the least. Maybe taking pole dancing lessons first before auditioning would build some confidence.

    Anyhow, don't give up if it's something you really want to do. This is an opportunity to learn. Maybe visit some clubs first, watch the girls for a while, and practice some moves at home in front of a mirror. It's not an easy thing to do but with practice you'll improve.

    its just the fact that they assured me i would get hired, and then i didn't. all i have to show for it is the dollar i got from the one guy. i feel so stupid that i managed to leave without a job.

    ^^ Well like I said, it's a learning experience. Don't let this get you down. The truth is that dancing does take some skill and you don't just get by on looks. If you need to improve upon your stage presence, then focus on doing that. When you feel more confident, go back and audition.

    That happens sometimes, it happened to me before too. The manager said he thought I was hot so if I was able to do the bare minimum I would get hired. I auditioned and had another manager come out of the woodworks to reject me. It's definitely disappointing because I got my hopes up too (and did well over the bare minimum) and was confused as to why they didn't hire me, they didn't even give me a reason.

    It does sound like you're super nervous and need to get used to being onstage. A lot of people have stage fright. Honestly, I think you SHOULD take that manager's advice and find a smaller club to start off with. If you really want to work at this other club try again after you get more experience somewhere else. They might not have expected you to be so nervous after they promised you a job. There are clubs that are more focused on lap dances than stage. You should research your area (I'm not sure where you are) and find somewhere like that.

    The good thing about this line of work is that you can get a job at another club the same day after leaving another club.

    I did this before. I went to one club and thought it sucked, so after about a couple of hours I quit. I drove half an hour to the next club in town and got hired and worked shortly after. Also same is true with not getting hired at one club, took the train to a different one and got hired and worked the same night.

    I can't blame you there, it's always important that you feel safe at work. There's bound to be a smaller, less intimidating but safe club in your area. I'd say fuck his suggestions and research some of the other local clubs on your own. You'll find somewhere that's a good fit. Good luck.

    Good for you for going for the club that you felt good at! Always take what managers say with a grain of salt. Trust your gut, work where you feel comfortable.

    I tripped on stage my first set..talk about embarrassing.thankfully my underwear was off so the big bearded biker at the stage didn't seem to care. I was so stiff and nervous and funny looking..now stage dancing is my favorite part.
    Glad you found a good place

    Good for you for having the guts to try again. I sucked for months on stage. Seriously, months. Then one day it just d of clicked and now a lot of girls hate me because i almost always get tipped because I'm really confident now. Just move slowly, watch YouTube videos and practice at home. Stage really isn't that important anyways. It's not usually where you'll make your money. focus on being adequate for now and focus your energy on improving your hustle and stage will eventually come to you the more you do it.
