    Default I dont get it ???

    Today was my first night dancing. I only made $72 in stage tips (did not sell ONE lap??)I asked the custy's if they wanted a lap in clever ways like "lets go have some one on one fun and hey handsome do you wanna be the first one to break me in? I even let everyone know it was my first night.The guys just kept tellin me that they dont like laps cuz it gets them horny.I got a lot of free drinks but no laps . Why do guys buy you expensive drinks when you can get a lap for 10 bucks??The club was so slow....I worked from 12 noon until 6pm. From 12 until 4pm there were a total of 6 custies that came through and like 15 girls .To all the pros what should I do?? I think ill make more money at the night shift but management wont let me work then until I have more experiance.

    From your avatar I dont think the problem is you. I think it might of been a slow day in your case and you just need to hang on. If club only had 6 customers and they werent big spenders it was not any wrong doing on your part. I say keep on working hard and try and show the mgmt that you are ready to work the night shift. If it makes any diffrence I would get a LD from you any day.

    If you're new and have never danced you should work night shift. Screw day shift. I worked a few days at my club and had to wait until 4 before customers even came in. And if you're going around saying you're new, the most guys will do is tip you. I did that my first night too and made $200, mostly because I told guys I was new and they'd tip me $20's. I had guys flat out tell me they didn't want a dance just because I wasn't 3 years into it. Anyway, guys ask all the time how long I have been dancing. I have always told them the truth, but it took till about my 5th month for them to stop calling me a rookie.

    Talk to management, tell them you can't afford the day shift and you feel confident enough to work nights. Start looking for a club that will let you work nights just incase.

    GoldenGirl,

    Don't get frustrated. Welcome to the days of occasioanlly slow business. It will happen sometimes. Some clubs are pretty steady business all the time some clubs certain days of the week or nights are busier, just depends.

    You have to change your schedule around to see what works best for you financially. When I first started I worked some days and nights..to see what type of clientelle I worked best with. Sometimes there are more business men during the days..they may have their favorite girl or they want you to talk a bit more to them before they buy a dance. Nights can be busier where your just selling dances back to back but the crowd can be different..a bunch of partiers, couples, or college boys. Again..it all depends on the club.

    For your stage..the money in tips you made was great. You're approach to the cutomers is something your going to have to work on. Maybe you want to keep it to yourself that you're new. In my opinion, some customers might take advantage of your time..wanting you to talk to them..and telling you to come back later when you ask them for a dance. Plus...some guys may not want to think that you don't know what you're doing. That's just my opinion though.

    Go up to the guys introduce yourself ask them their name. Tell then how you love the song that's playing. Ask them about their day and then when the song is ending and the next song is about to start ..say .."how about a dance". Now you can say it how you want..it just depends on your connection with the guy..sometimes saying things like.."I think you should get a sexy dance from me"....get's them curious. I mean..if I need to make up a story about how I was getting down with a girl last weekend..then I'll say it. I change it up all the time. Also, I would not call it a lap, or a lap dance when asking them.

    Also .....this horney b.s. they are saying...say, "good..then you'll love my dances".

    Oh..just re-read your post..ok managment is making you work days. Well when you go in again..leave yesterday at home and come in cheerful and ready for a new day. Just give yourself a chance...nobody becomes a pro no matter what they do in life over night!


    You may find that you change look along the way..adding fake lashes, wearing a new body spray, wearing darker makeup. Play with your look at home..I know girls can do the pretty natural thing..but I feel like you should be glamorous when you walk in that club...clothes, shoes, hair, makeup, jewlery. You are selling yourself..so be at your best! Saw your picture..love the hair. I have tried all different types of looks. Its fun.

    ps..make sure you tip out well..so that when any big spenders do come in the right people will tell you..and then tip them again.

    Good luck and don't get discouraged.

    hey I see your in the LA area... it's easier to work nights build up a customer base then go to days.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    Also don't forget that it's January, the month of the no-spenders. Please don't let it affect you. You're lucky in a sense that you're new because a lot of newbies have that very enthusiastic approach with customers which normally fades after a few months into the job, so try to keep up your approach, the way you're speaking to customers doesn't sound like you're going wrong there. If other girls weren't getting any or many dances, just put it down to the financial climate. I'm sure it'll pick up. However, if after a while, you're still not making money, do some research on the other clubs in your area.

    Golden, it's not you. It was a slow day at the club in a generally slow month. I don't know about the guys there, but I like checking out "new girls" once in a while. Being friendly and a little non-sexual touching on your part can go a long way in securing a lapdance.

    Amber88Thanks for the great advice your right about the slow days. Half the girls left by 3pm there was only 9 of us left.But that didnt compensate for the 10 guys there that was just eating.

    Julzgulz , I never thought about that. I think I am going to look for somewhere else that I can work nights. When I went in to audition with this club I made a real big deal that I was new and that I never danced B4.

    maybe they didn't feel like getting horny because it was the middle of their work day. day shifts are usually more relaxed and more about just chilling out with pretty girls. $72 for stage dancing is a good start actually. considering the circumstances it was clearly not you. just keep being optimistic. it's good that your club even ALLOWS lap dancing, because where I used to work in DC, the city prohibits it completely and many dancers only get paid through stage/mingling.

    I Highly agree. Hire on a dancer, a newbie to the club...Give her NIGHTS, a busy shift. If she (not you hun) can't make $$$ then for the first week the club will look into you're skills etc. Never start day shift, you can't get enough experience, it's usually not busy enough.

    Toss the new dancers to the wolves! These ladies want to make money and learn from top earners as well, most top earners do busy shifts...NIGHTS!

    Find a busier club, get on nights. Tell the club you want night shift, that is how you know you will make it or not.

    Good luck hun!
    I am sure you will do better soon!

    Golden, I agree with the skipping of the day shifts, unless you have a client base it usually isn't very profitable..
    I made 75 dollars my first night dancing almost 5 yrs ago... It takes some getting used to, don't give up!!!!!
