    Default Probably worst amatuer performance ever..

    Tonight was my amatuer audition..and I felt so dorky that I walked off the stage half way through my first song. I just felt like SUCH A DORK! I didn't know what I was doing..and I just felt stupid. I didn't feel sexy, hot, desired, or any good emotions..just stupid!!! The bouncer and house mom told me I was going to win the first place prize money because I was a lot better looking than all the other girls and I was a true amatuer considering I had never been to a strip club before. They told me to go back on at the end(I was first of course), but I just couldn't do it. So I wasted $250 on a dress, shoes, etc. Oh well. At least I tried it I guess.

    I think you should give it another shot. If the avatar is you, you would make SO much money in this industry. I'm guessing you would be one of those girls that won't even have to know what they are doing. Try it again--I'll bet you will do great!

    Yes, my avatar is me. The bouncer and house mom told me if I went back on stage that I would have won the $500. I was really shocked at how unattractive the strippers were and also the other amatuers. The strippers weren't gross, but they weren't like playboy material like I expected. The house mom told me I was very pretty and I'd make a lot of money stripping...but I don't know. I felt so freaking stupid up there. Like if I- walked -around- all -day with -my -skirt -half- way -tucked -into -my- underwear -stupid. If I was able to practice before opening with another stripper or something, then I'd do it again. But I really don't think stripping is for me. I wish I could do it...

    -Oh, and why the heck did the club get packed right before the amatuer contest??? Guys like seeing girls look like idiots?

    Amateur contests can be difficult for a true amateur. All eyes are on you. That's a lot of pressure for someone who isn't used to standing on stage. Just because you walked off doesn't mean that you don't have what it takes to be successful as a stripper. Why not start working on slow nights and work busy nights when you are ready? You have the option to skip the amateur contest completely. I did and do not regret my choice. I could've won $500. Big deal. I make more than that in one night.

    I cannot believe I missed this thread this morning!!

    I think it was just a combination of you running around trying to get everything ready at the last minute. I think the stress finally just got to you once you got onstage. You are very beautiful and I think that you EASILY would have, not only won, but been hired (did anyone say anything about that?)!!

    I wish I could have helped you more...I KNOW how nerve-wracking it is to be the "only" amatuer with a whole bunch of seasoned strippers who do the contests for "easy money". heh

    But, I really think that you need to just get back up there again. If for no other reason than to win the $500 to off-set the cost of the outfit.

    BTW...I am sure that you were not as bad as you imagined you were. But, how about if you go to the club a few times just to see what the other girls do on-stage and then go home and practice? That's what I did. It gives you some ideas and then you know more about what to do.

    PM me later.

    For this club, you have to go through amatuer night to get hired. God I sucked. I don't think I looked like a duck in a wet paper bag though LOL (great image), but I was just boring myself with the same moves in a restricing gown. BLAH!! I just was overwhelmed with all the EYES ON ME when I didn't know what to do!!!! Like "why are you looking at me when I don't know what the hell I'm doing!!" I guess I would be willing to do it again..I just need someone to watch me to tell me how I look and if I'm dancing ok. I think even if I told my boyfriend about it and asked him to help me...I might even do that.
    I just called the club to see if could dance in the amatuer night again next week. The guy told me to call back when the hiring manager is there tomorrow night. So..we'll see. I might left a bad taste in their mouth or something.

    Thanks, I can't remember if the guy on the phone told me to call back tonight at 9pm or tomorrow..so I will definately let you know if I'm going again. I actually would LOVE to have people there that I know..isn't that weird? I guess because I know they are rooting for me and would be a friendly face in the crowd.

    From what i understand from your post i think you deserve alot of credit considering you went up there your first time not being wasted. From your post sounded like you were sober so more power to you, because that only makes it harder. I think you should definitely try again, you seem to be taking the right sober path.

    There are some very nice women who work there, Shannon. I'd recommend some names of mentors--if I didn't think this would land me in boiling hot water. Sounds like you were jittery and not enjoying the naughty fun of the outing, which is completely normal. Normal! Don't beat yourself up about it. Here's an idea: Go to the club some evening with a girlfriend or a guy and take mental notes of the dancers you think are great fun to watch--learn from them, and talk with them if you get a chance. I'm continually surprised and delighted by how thoughtful dancers--okay, some dancers--can be about their work (this site is a prime example) if you simply treat them with respect, as real people. Good luck.

    Ok, I'm thinking about trying the amatuer night again. It won't be this coming Sunday, because I've been pigging out for three days straight since I'm on vacation, but I might do it the Sunday after next. I think I'll go to the club on a Thursday night and take mental notes. I wonder how common it is for amatuers to freak out and walk off the stage during their set?

    The club gets packed before an "Amateur Night" because guys like to see "virgin" dancers.

    Good luck next time.

    Shannon --

    Yep....you're gonna make a TON of money in this biz!

    The club gets packed with guys on amateur night for the same reason the "Girls Gone Wild" videos sell so well. Ever been to a wet t-shirt contest? Same thing. Young guys LOVE thinking that the "girl next door" is suddently doing something wild and crazy.
    Since most clubs use amateur nights for auditions, and since a whole BUNCH of the girls in this biz, sadly, did NOT make the cut for "America's Next Top Model", then you're right, a LOT of the girls in the contest are gonna be embarassing to be on the same stage with. (ALso, it's NOT about looks. The typical model looks like shit without her makeup and hair. It's all about POISE and ATTITUDE. Duh....)

    Anyway, get your ass back up on stage, smile, and make a lot of eye contact. If you do that, the guys customers will yell and applaude and love you for it!!!

    I saw your pics and you are quite beautiful. I can understand you being nervous. I am ten years older than you are and would be terrified to go by myself and do an amateur contest. the only time I've gotten up on stage I was with my boyfriend and two friends and just took off my top for one song and it still took me like 3 or 4 people asking me to go up there to do it. Can you maybe try a different club?

    Yes please try again I cant speak for the United States but in Canada, the ones that seem so shy and lack in confidence,usually turn out to be the strongest in the end. One more try and I think you will find out that you will do fine-Make one promise to everybody on this thread that you read all of the replies that you are getting "we all believe that you are going to be a great dancer" and then go girl and do it. Good Luck and Keep in touch, the forum is there for you!

    Thank you SI and everyone.

    I am calling the club tonight to see if I can dance in amatuer night again. I'm not sure if it will be this Sunday though, most likely next Sunday.

    Shannon,

    Which club did you go to? I did my first audition at All Stars and made a bloody fool of myself! It's OK, just try again!

    If you want to try again, let me know and i will go audition with you. I need some motivation to get off my ass anyway, and you are WAY prettier than I am, so you will look TERRIFIC next to me!
