    Default Scots chick in NYC

    I'm heading to New York in a month to visit friends. I'm gonna be staying for 3 months, what are the chances of me being able to find a club that'll employ me considering I won't have a work permit?

    Also, if it is possible, are there any clubs you suggest that I stay away from? As in seedy dives/dodgy management/unnecessarily high fees?

    I don't even know where to start so you've no idea how much I'd appreciate your honest input even if it's to say "there's no chance you nutter!"

    Thanks folks.

    the clubs do ask for identification and social security cards - so you may run into problems.

    Two clubs so far have emailed me back to say they'll happily consider me after seeing my photos, although as they won't hire over the net I'll have to go in and see them when I arrive. I told them my situation too, that I wouldn't have a visa... this is weird, but encouraging for me as I was about to swiftly change plans and go to Tokyo instead... I'll be so happy if I can work, means I can stay the 3 months visiting my friends, plus I've never seen NY, bet I'll need 3 months to get a good look around!
    Anyone else's advice still gratefully received!

    Keep in mind that you will be here in the summer. NYC in the summer for dancing is baaaaadddd/sloooowww. The house fees are higher than most clubs around the country. But if you are going to be staying with friends and visiting, then it might be a good time to try it out.

    As long as I break even I'll be ok. It's more for the experience than anything... Summer's slow in Edinburgh where I am at the mo, last week made £300 GBP for 5 SHIFTS!!! Whereas usually I could expect to make double that.
    Do you think I'd be better heading to a slightly smaller club outside of NY with smaller fees? Or should I take my chances in centre?
    Thanks for your help Curvy.

    From what I've read of NYC area clubs, you'd probably be better off to try some suburb clubs. Contact levels will be higher but there are places that aren't too bad. I'm sure some of the other tristate area girls will chime in on this subject...

    Flashdancers, New York Dolls, VIP, and Private Eyes (all located in Manhattan) will hire you without working papers!! Stay away from "day shifts", so make sure you audition at night!! You can audition any night, simply by walking in, un-announced and without notice. Just walk in, and ask for the manager. Again, make sure it's at night!!! Good luck!!

    I'd try Flashdancers first.
