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!
