    No. But unless you're going to Delilah's you better say that you just moved here. Philly is in the heart of schedule Nazi central.

    No she means "nazi" in like, "controlling." Like, to rephrase it in a friendlier way, in philly most places won't take you unless you're willing to schedule so if you're from out of town, stick with delilahs or say you just moved there.

    I think she means they are really strict with schedules and want you to commit to a certain number of shifts per week. If you can't commit to that, which a traveling dancer often can't, they won't hire you.

    Speaking of racism, you know how the game goes. Make sure you're en pointe with your hair, makeup and audition. Go alone.
    It's not fair but that's the way the game goes unless you're going to an urban club.

    idk the exact logic behind it but managers are more like to hire solo black girls over a group....they probably think of it as keeping the riff-raff out-_-

    I've seen groups of WOC get rejected even if they look like black Barbies.

    Didn't you get booked through an agency though?

    yeah i did. but i wouldn't think that matters if you meet their hiring criteria? i'd think they'd actually prefer if you go alone so they don't have to pay an agency every day you're there or pay for your hotel but idk. i did meet some girls there who were visiting on their own but it's probably a good idea to call and ask. i heard delilahs is better anyways though

    Oh I meant that agency bookings tend to get more leeway for traveling dancers.

    Thanks ladies! For the nude clubs do they have issues with you taking off for a week cause of cycles? I really hate dancing nude on my cycle.

    Delilah's wants you to schedule as well, they were getting more strict about it when I left, unless their policies have changed recently.

    Also, I've seen WOC have a tough time getting hired there. I used to work with a gorgeous black dancer who had experience at one of the top clubs in NYC, and she told me they waited two weeks to even call her back after her "audition." I was shocked! That doesn't mean you shouldn't still try though!
