Hi, first I'd like to introduce myself. I'm looking to become a dancer in order to make some extra money and help pay my way through college. Right now I'm still in high school, just turned 18, and will be graduating in a few months.
I've identified a few clubs that I'd be interested in working for and they all said I should come in and audition. I had a few questions about the audition and would greatly appreciate any advice you could give.
The clubs said that I should wear a "long gown" - what exactly does that mean? Could I wear one of my usual dresses (they end a couple inches above the knee) or should I buy a dress specifically made for exotic dancing? Could I wear a regular outfit - like a skirt and top?
Will I actually be taking off my clothes while I am auditioning? If so, what should I be wearing underneath my dress - regular lingerie (such as a g-string and bra) or "clubwear" that I would have to buy?
Do I need to be really graceful while I'm dancing or is it alright if I look a little awkward? (I'm still getting used to my high heels)
If I want to scout out the club ahead of time, will I need to bring a male companion or will they let me in by myself if I say I'm interested in working there?
Do I need a state issued ID or passport to prove my age or is my school ID enough?
Any other tips/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your help.

Try the links. Personally if I were you, I think I would go in and audition in a regular outfit and tell them that you will get a gown if you get the job. I can't see spending that money without knowing for sure you're going to dance there. Also, if you get the job, I'd just buy one or two gowns to start. You might change to a club that doesn't require gowns, or you might decide dancing isn't for you.
If I ran a club, I'd require proof of legal age. I'd really wonder about a club that would let anybody dance there without checking their age.
