Every Sunday I teach dance class at my club which is open to newbies and women interested in dancing. Last Sunday i had two great ones come in.: I'm not sure how to say this without coming across as mean so I'm just going to say it. The two were a mom and her daughter, the mom was 51 years old and looked like an old biker chick who drinks and smokes way too much and her daughter was slighty obese, not just a big girl mind you but way to big to dance. The manager told them that they could take class and then I would let him know if they were ready to audition.
The mom chickened out and only her daughter did the class but she was very reluctant to try anything so I told her that she wasn't ready to audition becasue if she can't dance for me and a couple of other girls she can't dance for a room full of men.Got out of that easy.
She and her mom talked to me afterward and wanted to know if they had a chance of getting a job. I managed to talk my way out of that by saying that it all depends on how you look and dance but I stressed that I don't do the hiring and I couldn't tell them for sure if they would get hired. NOw these two REALLY want to dance, they had been calling all week asking when they could audition, etc.
I know that they will never get hired and I told the manager that he needs to tell them this if they come back, I've got some great girls with good potential that I'd rather focus my time on. If by some chance he decides to pawn this off on me what is the best way to let these women know that this is not the career for them and they are not what we are looking for.
