    Default what do i do??

    Hi there, i have been lurking these boards for a while now and finally decided to register so i can ask for all of your help..

    I want to start dancing and i would just like to know what are some really good things i should know before i consider it..

    I have no idea what really to expect from club to club and am interested in getting all your feed back..

    It would even be great if some of you can tell me your experiences on the "First night", doing private dances and doing stage shows...

    Im curious

    Did you have a friend start with you or you went alone?

    Are the other working girls friendly to help you out on
    your first day?

    How sore do your feet really get?..or long can you stay in shoes?

    Justany of your opinions, thaughts and experences are totally appreciated


    Please help...thanks

    It really depends where you start dancing. I've worked in some clubs, where all the girls were super nice and friendly, and some where all but one or two were terrible b*tches. I went alone on my first night. I was lucky enough to have one of the girls there help me out. The manager let her go on stage with me my first time, and she got one of her customers do buy my first dance. And we danced together for him. It made it a lot easier having a nice girl to show me the ropes. My feet were ok, but my legs were really sore. anyways good luck on your first night!!

    Clubs vary. Check them out as a customer before you audition. Some clubs don't like unescorted women. Take a guy, not your boyfriend. Look around once you are inside the club. Go over lunch or early in the evening. See how quick the wait staff is. See how accurate they and the bartender are. If the club serves food, see if it's any good. Watch the dances. See how far the girls go for dollar tips. If you can see the couch dances, watch them too. See if the VIPs are within your comfort zone. You should talk to the dancers. Tip them for their time. I even like to get a lap or VIP at a new club just to see how that all works.

    Good luck, you'll do fine.

    Hello Charlene!

    Please follow Zofia's advice and check it out as a customer. THAT alone will answer many questions.

    But of the experience itself.....hope for the best but expect the worst. Anticipate those bitches.....a couple in every group. Some are friendly, but Trixie was really very lucky to have a girl there show her the ropes. Many will be nice but aloof.

    Secure your stuff very carefully! Many thieves in the locker room. Teh night you audition, take a friend for moral support if you can. I went alone and wished I had somebody.

    The foot situation does indeed suck. Get a foot spa and some epson salt. YOU WILL NEED IT!

    HI Charlene,

    I am not a dancer just a fan of pretty ladies. I can tell you though that there is a wealth of knowledge in the "ARTICLES" section up above, right under the purple colored strip at the top of the page. Do some reading and then do as the ladies have suggested and check it out as a customer first.

    Keep in mind that you have to be smart, and pretty tough to survive in this business but also have a sense of humour so that the tough parts of it don't turn you too tough, know what I mean? And gorgeous does not hurt either but then I am sure you are very pretty.

    Good luck and WELCOME to the Forum.
    Anyone with a memory should be very humble.

    Learn to be tough when you have to, or at least develop the ability to let nasty sh*t leave you smiling and untouched in spite of it all.

    Beware of the hustle, it will come at you from all directions: other dancers, customers, managers and bouncers, and yes, even the damned DJs. Some of all of them are very good at it! There are some cool people in the biz, but not nearly as many as we need.

    Be one of them, as I'm sure you will...

    You can have a lot of fun and make some good money, but this business is not all fun and games, trust me--or just read some of the posts here from women who have had to deal with it. Sorry to be a little discouraging, but you should be ready for the good and the bad as well.

    Always try to have a life and things you enjoy doing that have nothing to do with dancing--this helps more than you know.

    Zofia is right on the mark, BTW.

    You have been given great advice so far. I have one thing to add.

    Go ahead and tell the customers that its your first night, r that you are new. They love to help you practice My very first lapdance ended up being 12 dances, it was fun and the guy was very nice.(watch out though cause there are plenty of assholes too)

    Charlene, go back to the home page then scroll down to the article listed psychology. Read through the article "Stripper is not a dirty word".
    Then when you go into the strip clubs and still say," That's so cool, I want to do that!" then go for it.

    Once you know where and how you want to dance, the most important advise I can offer is to practice ..... alot!!!!! Buy a pair of heel's and wear them around the house, try to mimic some of the routine's that you saw at the club's, in front of a mirror. Do all the squat's your body can handle ( very important ), Your knee's will be the hardest worked part of your body. Most new girl's squat almost too much and are jerky and stiff when they do leaving them sore as hell at the end of there first shift. Oh the other important thing ....... go back the next night, take your sore bruised body, drag it out and do it again and again until your used to it. It's like anything else physical, your body isn't going to like you for a while but it will all be worth it. You will find that in a few month's you will be in the best shape of your life.

    Good advice by all. I didn't go with a friend for my first night, but I was totally gung-ho and hadn't even given a thought to taking along someone for moral support. Also, many clubs don't take kindly to girls who bring friends when they come to apply - something to consider. Further, I tend to be of the opinion that if a girl needs someone with her to get started, maybe she should reconsider dancing - this is a tough business and you won't always have someone to hold your hand, best to get used to that right off the bat.

    That said, it is also a fun business and can be very rewarding if you keep your head screwed on properly. Don't be ashamed, set goals, save money, etc. Watch what other girls do when dancing and take ideas from them. Practice walking in heels at home before getting on stage for the first time. Don't drink too much and get drunk at work. Do what you need to feel your sexiest - you will exude confidence and sexiness and that is what sells most! The first time on stage and doing dances may be anything from a total nightmare to the biggest rush of your life, depending on how you look at it. If you can do it with a smile, you're well on your way to great stripper success!

    My advice is to check out the clubs during thier busy times and look at your customer base/demographics while you are there. That in itself will tell you alot about the club and working conditions you'll be in.

    After all, don't expect to be earning dollars when all the customers are only willing to pay in pennies.

    Also realize club limits, and conditions vary from area to area even with in the same city. I.E. San Francisco the MSC [which is basically a crackhouse with alot of extras] to LA Show Girls[ very clean light contact, no extras tolerated by managment] and everything else is in between.
