    Mari,

    Welcome to SW. First off, if the club says you have to be 21..then they have their reasons. That way if any dancers take some one up to the champange room the mangers or house moms or waitresses don't have to worry about who's 21 and who's not.

    As for the girls being uptight. Explain a little more about that. Uptight as in bitchy-aggressive or uptight as in judgmental and prudish~which would be kind of strane since they are dancers. I can understand how you might have concerns about the girls, they are of course part of your working enviornment...but you can't let that hold you back or worry you too much.

    I would go into the club (if you have not) and just check it out from a customer prospective. That way you can see if its really for you. I highly reccomend doing that and also asking at the front door what the actual requirments are for working at that club. Don't waste their time and don't waste yours. Plus, if the club happened to think that you were 21 and something happened ...a vice bust or something..you and the club could get in serious trouble. If they only want 21yo's then is there another club that's not too far away that will allow 18yo's?

    Also it seems that you have a go'get'em additude. That's good. But you really need to decide if dancing is for you. And again, that's why I say that you should frequent the club to see if you can really see your self dancing. I'm not trying to discourage you....I'm just saying it takes a maturity, motivation, you can't let others get to you, etc.

    Let us know what you do!

    The last thing you should ever worry about in this biz is the other girls. If you want to be a dancer at that club go apply. You are definately cute enough. Even if they are mean at first, if you stick it out they will usually accept you. The club I work at has a reputation for the girls being bitchy, and when I first started there I was a lil scared, but it turned out that most of the girls there were super cool and nice to me. Try it and if you hate it there than worry about finding a different club.

    Mari,

    Don't worry about your audition dreams...sounds like anxiety..but you can overcome that. Hey..if you've always wanted to be a dancer/or give dancing a try..then go for it. You could find that you're very successful as dancer. I agree mean people suck....and its nice to at least be able to get along with people at your job. But if there happens to be that "one" girl that has a stick up her ass..don't take it personally. Anyway..you're there to shake it and make it $$$$$!

    If you are 18 but under 21 you can always do private parties.

    Mari, first off, welcome the boards. I won't say how you were when I started dancing! Let's just say I'm a veteran and leave it at that. ;-) My old fear when I hear any 18 yr old say she wants to dance is why?

    You've said you want to do this since you were VERY young, and that worries me that you probably have an idealized picture of what being a dancer entails and perhaps not enough life experience/savviness to handle a lot of the issues and conflicts you're going to run into.

    I would never tell another girl NOT to dance, but I will caution you to read a lot of the posts about the more negative side of this and once you get into a club, talk to a few of the girls that have been doing this for a few years. We've seen it all (often times more than once) and 'older' dancers have a lot of tips, not only for making money, but staying safe and not letting the 'lifestyle' surrounding dancing getting to your head.

    Good luck!
