So I'm new to dancing and looking for a home club... I found one close to me, followed them on social media and saw a number for the manager that I can text to ask any questions or set up an audition. I texted the number asking about audition days/times and attire. The manager gave me that information and also encouraged me to apply officially on their website. I did so which consisted of basic name/age/location questions and at the end you upload a full body picture. I did all that submitted the form and about 5 minutes later the manager texted me back saying he received it and he'd like to see more of me.... then the conversation took a left asking for sexual favors, promising me all this money & traveling. Basically saying I was hired already and that he "would like to try me out for himself" he sent a car to the address I put on the online application (mind you it's 3am) and that if I didn't get in the car and come see him then, then "my position might be filled tomorrow there's plenty of girls who want your spot." I'm brand new to dancing but even I noticed this red flag. I have stopped communication with him completely because I don't feel like I need to sleep with someone to get hired. I've moved on to looking at other clubs in my area... but just out of curiosity is this something to expect in this industry?? Some dancers tell me it's normal to sleep with bosses at most clubs, others tell me they've never experienced it at any club. I know customers ask for sexual favors a lot but is it normal for managers to?? So I just wanted to get yalls opinion if you've ever had this type of situation and if you have how you've dealt with it ?
