    Default Went to audition yesterday, not sure what happened

    So I went in for an audition yesterday after years of wanting to dnace. I finally got the nerve. When I get there The gm asked if I had ever done it before and I said no and then he asked if I had shoes and a bikini and I said yes. He then told me to come back the next night at 7. He said he didn't want to just throw me to the wolves blah blah. Why didn't he have me do anything last night when I was supposed to? I was mentally prepared and then today my nerves got the best of me and I didn't ho back. I'd like a second chance but I'm not sure what to tell him on why I didn't show! Thoughts?

    Can you call the place & tell them something came up, & ask if you can come back in?

    You're fine probably, my first club had me start on days because I was new so I could get the hang of things. They're being nice because "throwing you to the wolves" sounds like he likes you but doesn't want you get overwhelmed which is very valid imho. Go back!

    Just go back. Let them know you're still interested and you can start asap. Don't let nerves get in the way. Honestly, one day you'll be like a lot of us and feel bored onstage lol.

    I guess I was just expecting to have to do an actual audition! He didn't have me take my coat off or anything. I'm just going to text them in the morning and tell them something came up I guess. Thanks for the input ladies it just really threw me off! I'm still super nervous. Just wanted to get it over with ��

    Thanks for your input ladies! I'm texting with the gm now. I said I was sorry and that my nerves got the best of me. I asked if I could come in Sunday. He asked if I could come in tomorrow and Saturday because it's a big weekend. I told him I'd rather come in on a slow day since I've never danced and am nervous. He then said "don't be!! I have a lot of new girls making serious $$$" and I don't know what to say!!!! I don't want my first night to be one of the busiest

    I'd suggest just dive in! Everyone's first shifts are nerve wracking. From what he said it sounds like he likes you and needs you there.

    Lol I remember my first day I was nervous also but when I got on I close my eyes and remember.... I already know I'll be naked so why it matter now? Now I hear all the time how pretty I am. You'll be fine at first it be odd but months from now you'll laugh about it and and think... I was such a noob!

    Girl, just go in and do it. I know you are nervous, but don't blow the opportunity. Relax and go in with the attitude that you are going to have fun. You might make mistakes, and that is okay. Everyone in there has seen boobs before. Nobody is going to boo you or throw tomatoes at you. Just focus on one customer at a time. Read Hustle Hut for tips so you are prepared. And again, I'll say it...everyone in there has seen boobs before. You're not going to shock anyone lol. You may even bank easily your first day! It's all about the attitude. If you need support while you're there, go into the dressing room and post on here how you're doing. We are here for you. Good luck!

    Your lucky he's giving you another chance after not showing up. Managers don't want unreliable dancers, especially in smaller clubs. I've had one job that didn't want to see me again after I missed an audition, and another that didn't call me back after I called to reschedule my trial shift. As a manager, if your strippers all turn up it's a good night. Dancing and hustling can be learnt, reliability and the courtesy to tell someone if you're going to be late or not show up can't be.

    Yes and no. It depends on the club. Mine could care less.

    Jaybee, I think it was a good thing that you were honest with him and told him you were nervous. I was so nervous when I started I drove to the club and couldn't get out of my car the first time. This was after driving by the place (which was a good hour and a half from my home) just to drive by. When I finally went in for my audition I completely froze on stage- a waitress had to come up to there with me!!

    If you really want to dance you need to bite the bullet. Get your butt in there and just start. For one, like Lovey Dovey said everyone there has seen boobs before. Second, every dancer was young, new and scared once. If you can get through the first three shifts you will be surprised how routine it becomes and how quickly. Three- if you feel bad, uncomfortable, unsafe, scared, or anything else bad you can get changed and go home.

    Be thankful this manager sounds like a decent one (some are scumbags) and seems to be encouraging you and like he will look out for you if you are a "good girl" and do not cause trouble. Don't worry about not going back, stripping is not like other jobs and like Ariel said they expect you to be flaky.

    Seriously thank you guys so much for all the support! You guys are great. I did end up going and I didn't hate it. I drank a little too much, gave one lap dance and hid in the dressing room half the night but I went. I however was not crazy about how this club ran things. Every hour they played Motley Crue "Girls Girls Girls" and all of the dancers had to get on stage and then after the song they would give us tshirts or dvds to hand out and every dancer had to ask every customer in the club if they wanted a 2 for 40 dance. It just felt tacky and like a meat market honestly! Am I wrong for feeling this way?? I've been to other clubs and have never seen anything like this. I got anxious again and didn't go yesterday and said I wasn't feeling well. The gm just texted me and asked if I could go in tomorrow at 7 and I just don't know if I'm cut out for it or if it's the club that I don't like! I'm just kind of upset at myself because I've wanted to do this for so long and I want to quit already!!!

    Yay!! Congrats on popping your cherry. It's the pussy parade. I hated doing it. You're in a sales job now so look at it this way, if you do it 6 times a night that's 240.00- I am sure the club gets a cut of that. Use it as an opportunity. Really try to sell it, then once you have the guy in back try to get him to extend dances or do a 15 min. (if your club offers) or 30 min room. Give it a good few shifts before you make a final decision on dancing or the club itself. I want to quit a lot of things after 5 mins (esp. new workouts) but try at least 2 more shifts.

    Congrats! I've worked at a club that does that when it's slow to encourage customers to get dances, it rarely works. As long as it's not an everyday thing... I agree, at least try 2 more shifts (and one of them a Friday or Saturday). If you're not enjoying it/making the money you want, don't be afraid to try another club.

    lol i think most of us have experienced this at some point, at my old club they called that roll call... but one of my customers used to call it "cattle call". that crap is the worst and i always tried to hide in the bathroom.

    like the last poster said, try one or two more shifts, or maybe try a different club if there are any others nearby. if you still hate it then maybe it just isn't for you, nothing wrong with that

    Girls Girls Girls? Was this by chance a Christies?

    Oh, and no you're not wrong for feeling that way and it doesn't mean you're not cut out for it

    My first club was Christie's actually, and I HATED the 'cattle call' and a lot of their other procedures, like shift minimums and costume requirements. It didn't mean I wasn't cut out for dancing... I just moved to non-corporate clubs where I pay my fees & then do as I please.

    It's a lot to wrap your head around at first & I feel like all their rules & promotions & shit just make it that much more overwhelming for new girls.

    Yay! Congratulations! Agreed..try this place for a few more shifts before switching clubs.

    My old club used to do the cattle call pussy parade thing. Yes, they are annoying, but you can try and get them to keep buying more dances. So even though it's annoying, use it as an opportunity to sell more dances or blocks of time.

    I didn't go back I also heard this refer to as the "pussy parade" �� Made me laugh. It was at a place called Sirens in Columbus. I may try somewhere else. We shall see!

    Ugh, we had that for a while and it was called the "fashion parade". They would play Diamonds are Forever and we'd all be called out onto stage at midnight in our gowns to show that crowd who was there. The shitty part was if you were in a dance you had to come out of it to do the Fashion Parade and then go back. If you hadn't quite sold the dance yet the customers would sometimes lose interest by the time you got back.
