    Default My First Night :( +update

    My first night was not so good.

    I had originally went to this club for amateur night and placed 2nd so I was automatically hired. (I should note that while at amateur night the other contestants were trying to get me to dance at other clubs in town).
    My boyfriend and I had also visited this club numerous times before I went to amateur night to try to get an idea of what it was like. He is very supportive of me wanting to dance.
    I have the looks, and I think I have the shape.

    Anyways, yesterday I showed up at 7pm. We are required to do 6 hour shifts and since I had to be at my day job at 8am this morning I chose to make sure I was home by 2am so I could get enough sleep and get my kids off to school.
    First off, the place was dead (even though the club claims to be the busiest in town, even during afternoons).
    The dressing room was horrible. I have danced at two other clubs (short gigs) and they were nothing like this. There was old takeout food everywhere. The bathroom smelled horrible and there was no door! Is this normal (no door for the bathroom in dressing rooms)?
    The other girls were total bitches to me. After I got dressed and went out to sit down by them to introduce myself, they got up and walked off. They would do this to me every time I tried to talk to them! lol! When I asked them a question, they'd ignore me. I was walking to a customer and another girl deliberately came over and cut me off. Another customer came in, and after he was sitting down for a few minutes I went over to talk to him and then he says, 'Can you leave? I need to take this call.'
    Finally at 10pm with just two customers and 5 chicks giving me the mean eye, and lip gloss being stolen from my bag. I just put my clothes on and left. One of the security guys followed me out and said I owed them $20. So I went there to pay them! lol
    There are 4 other clubs in town so I went to one that was about 5 miles away and it was way busier, everyone kept asking if I was a dancer, and the girls there kept suggesting I come there to dance.
    Would you try other places? I understand that other dancers are probably gonna be bitchy in the beginning but geeez!

    Girls can be mean. I wouldn't suggest talking to anyone when you're new, in any future club you try out. If you have any questions ask someone in management.

    I think its hard to tell from one night how busy a club is but chances are that management might be annoyed at you at this place, so you should just try the other place you went to that night.

    Also customers can be really rude and you will have to grow a thicker skin because you'll be dealing with comments like that, and way worse, all the time.

    A lot of times the "new girl" will get a lot of shit from house girls because a) you're competition b) since they've never delt with you before, they don't know what you're about (seasoned strippers aren't typically at work to trust each other or be friends anyway.)

    As long as they don't try to put their hands on you, don't worry about what they say and don't try be too friendly. Focus on your $$$$.

    I would leave, for the bathroom situation alone. Not having a door is not normal!

    Girls can be bitchy everywhere, but that sounds pretty bad. At more upscale clubs in my experience, you see less of it. In a better environment, girls don't have to be on edge all the time.

    There is another club I visited this week that I am very interested in!!
    Right now I am dealing with my monthly but if I am finished by Thursday then I'm going to attend amateur night there and see what happens. The current dancers kept encouraging me to come in when I asked when exactly is amateur night.
    Also my boyfriend and I went to three other clubs last night just to get an idea of what they were like and we weren't very impressed.

    Try another club for sure. Stealing lip gloss might seem minuscule but they could have been gauging to see if they could steal more. Some clubs don't have doors, they're usually clubs where girls are constantly shooting up though and that's the managements way of trying to crack down on it a bit. Most clubs (that I've worked at) don't have locks on the dressing room bathroom doors, though.

    This is obviously a very catty club. BUT pro-tip: don't be overly friendly as a new girl. Doesn't matter how long you'd been dancing for. If you're new to a club, you're automatically viewed as competition/bait/etc. Personally, when new girls are too friendly, I automatically get suspicious. That might sound rude? but it's how I am. I never make friends with the new girls because I don't know what they're about, if they're thieves, if they're drama, etc. Also, don't hound dancers with questions because it is an irritant to most (not saying you were hounding them, but just in case). One or two occasionally while being new such as "where's the bathroom / where do we cash out" shouldn't really be a problem in most clubs, but there's some very catty clubs where any question will go unanswered just because they wanna be snooty. No one likes the girl following them around asking question after question, though. Management would be the person to ask questions to, plus the other girls could lie to you to get you in trouble.

    A lot of places get treated like high school lunch rooms. It's cliquey. I always sit by myself when I start a new club, and only speak to other girls when spoken to.

    This might seem a bit extreme to some people? Idk haha. I always say it's better to err on the side of caution, though. Keep very much to yourself at a new club no matter how it seems, eventually you'll get the feel for it and the other girls. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

    ^^ Good advice. I get very irritated with new girls who expect me to "train" them and ask question after question. I simply say "ask management". I'm there to make money, not train you. I've had one girl think I was "nice" for answering questions, so she supposedly thought that I wouldn't mind it if she sat with my customers while I was onstage. *Insert eye roll here* I had to tell that girl several times to not do that...that she was crossing a line. Long story short, said dancer got herself fired. Bitch turned out to be cray. And then I learned...never help out the new girls, Ever.

    I was certainly satisfied that karma stepped in and took control. The universe knows what's up.

    Anyhow, try a new club. Don't settle for ghetto.

    Don't talk to the girls when you're new! They will talk to you when they are ready. Customers are assholes. Try a different club.
