    Default my weird first night story

    I've already made a few posts but I thought I'd share my weird first night story. I just sort of walked in and started and no one told me what I was supposed to do. It was so strange and confusing.

    I had been thinking about dancing on and off for a few months. I'm in grad school and am paying out of state tuition as well as taking out loans for living expenses and every time my mind began wandering to how much money I'm going to owe when its all done with, I began feeling this horrible paralyzing anxiety.

    I've done adult entertainment before. One summer a few years ago I worked as a dominatrix in a dungeon in Chicago. Despite that experience though, I still felt really nervous about taking the stripping thing on.

    But I kept thinking about it and I found this forum which was incredibly encouraging and I realized that inorder to really create any type of closure for my new obsession with stripping, I needed to get over my fear and just give it a try.

    I started looking into places that were a nice distance from where I live and called them up to see what they're hiring procedure was. I was to nervous to try any high-class clubs, so I focused on mid-tier type places. One place I called said that you just show up at the beginning of a shift 11:30 for a day shift or 7:30 for night shift and ask to speak to a hiring manager for an audition. I knew that more than anything, I just needed to get it over with so went there the next night.

    I wasn't sure what to expect so I brought a bag of stuff with me (my old dominatrix shoes came in handy!). When I first pulled into the parking lot, like a big dork I pulled out of my spot thinking I should drive around for another few minutes, but stopped myself and just parked in another spot.

    When I walked in the door the bouncer was sitting there and I asked him if a hiring manager was available. After checking my ID he looked around and pointed out the DJ as someone I should talk to.

    I went over and he explained that the hiring manager hadn't arrived yet (he also checked my ID again ). So I sat and waited a little bit, but the DJ came over again and asked me if I was ready to dance that night. I said I was, so he told me to go to the dressing room and put my outfit on.

    When I went back there I was to nervous to really say anything to the girls who were alos getting ready and just put my outfit and heels on. When I came back out, the DJ told me that the manager still hadn't arrived but that he was sure I'd get the 'ok because I wasn't fat' and he put me on the rotation for the stage. He gave me a few ground rules about tip-out, how the rotation works and that I should never say no to a customer offering to buy me a drink.

    It was totally bizarre. No one gave me any guidance and I just went up there when I was called. Overall I didn't find the stage work to difficult. I always liked dancing, plus its easier to get half naked when all the girls around you are doing it to.

    I spent the rest of the night figuring out exactly what it was I was supposed to do. Apparently my "audition" went well because I kept getting called up on stage and I didn't figure out till the end of night who the manager actually was!

    I spent a lot of the night observing to get a better sense of my environment. My first dance came when some guy turned to me and said he'd like a dance. I hesitated for a moment because no one had told me what exactly I'm supposed to do but then followed him back to the lap-dance room and it went pretty well. He kept his hands to himself and when I asked him how he would rate his dance he said it was an 8, which I was pretty happy with for my first dance.

    Overall, the night went pretty well. I only made $110 after tip-out, but I know I have a lot to learn, especially when it comes to hustling.

    Has anyone else had an experience like this? Where you just walk in and they tell you to start? I went through this ambiguous phase where it was like so I guess I'm hired without anyone actually telling me I was. After talking to various other girls throughout the night and then later verifing with the DJ there is no schedule whatsover at this club. You just show up whenever you want, as long as its at the begining of a shift. They also give insentives to girls who work a lot by pre-reduding their tip-off when they come in on certan nights.

    haha, thats kind of odd that they just let you keep working until they told you that you were hired. no paperwork (ugh, im just dreading tax day when it comes up -- im new too and have no idea how this will work) and no schedule? sounds pretty sweet. good luck to you, it sounds like you'll do just fine.

    Yea, my first night was alot like that. They went over dance prices and some general rules, but pretty much I learned by doing it and watching the other girls. I am still trying to learn some of the manager's names after 2 1/2 months! Good Luck! Jenna

    That's weird but check this out: the first club I worked at in California, I never actually got hired at all!! I just walked in behind some girls and followed them into the change room, got dressed, and basically started working.

    The only person who questioned me was the dj. He was like 'oh, you must be new', and I was like 'no, but you see so many of us I don't blame you for forgettign me".

    I was way underage and I had no fake id and I knew the only way to earn my bread was to work that night, so I just found a way to do it ;-)

    yeah, the auditioning process at some clubs is way unorganized.... the past few clubs i have worked at, they took one look at me in my costume and said i was hired.... the majority of clubs are always looking to hire new dancers, so they will take what they can get.... its kind of funny though, my first time ever going in to a club to audition i was so nervous.. i thought it was going to be this huge process... but then i never even had to do anything.. they just threw me on stage and i started dancing.... i guess i passed the test?? haha.... but i would be curious to know what the audition process is like at a Scores, Cheetah, or spearmint rhino.. etc....

    My audition process was simply non-existant: I went as a customer with a friend, we got a little bitdrunk, and suddenly i found myself on stage. I still wonder how I got there

    What & where is this club? I love laid back clubs like that, although yeah, a little tough trying to figure out what their rules are. Most clubs I have been at rely on the other girls to clue you in. My mgr often grabs me and asks me to show new girls around and tell them the rules; but if they don't do that, just find a friendly face and ask her or him to show you around and explain things. Just be careful, some girls are a little snakey and will steer you wrong if they see you as a threat to their money. Those kinds are usually easy to pick out though, if you keep your eyes open and follow your gut.

    I hope you have a great time and make lot's of $$$$!! This forum is a great place for info and encouragement as everyone really does seem to want to work together so we all make the big bucks rather than just out for number one. It is the best place I have found, for dancers by dancers!

    Good that you brought costumes and shoes with. It is a always a good idea to bring your work gear when you check out new clubs. A lot of the "higher class" (lol) clubs require auditions but there are still a lot of them that will say hello, introduce you to the Mgr, and then ask "you want to start tonight?" I got so used to that I still get a little nervous when I have to actually audition!

    When you dance, you work for yourself NOT the club. Thats why you pay a house fee... you are paying them to give you a venue in which to wo

    Unless you get a sweet girl to take you under your wing, you're going to have to figure out this business on your own.

    Scary, I know, but you will have the whole system figured out in six months.

    My only advice to you is don't get all caught up in conversations...hustle dances after no more than 3 songs of sitting with a customer... and I'm only saying three right now bc you're probably nervous, which is understandble, so you might need to chat. If you don't get paid after 3 songs, bounce.

    Good luck and much $$ babe!

    This got me thinking back to my first audition (low class bar/club in Nowheresville, PA) I walked in, met the manager whose first words were "show me your arms" (naive me didn't figure out until a year later he was looking for track marks) He told me to come back the next day to audition but I could hang out that night to see how things worked. I hung around for about an hour when one of the dances said "f*** auditioning tomorrow, you'll never come back" and she pulled me back in the dressing room, pulled my shorts down, threw a dress over my head and pushed me on stage She was right though, I probably never would have returned...

    hey kamryn
    ur in south fla? i just got hired at spearminttrhino and it was pretty simple. I just went in and spoke to the manager. They went over some basic rules like prices and stuff, and gave me a tour. also in the palm beach county u have to have an entertainers id ($25) but other than that it was really easy and stress free. i didn't even have to audition....i just wish i had a someone to show me some dance moves before i start help!
    lol

    I got like a 2 hour orientation with my main manager when I got hired since I'd never danced before and they are working really hard to make their club one of the cleaner ones in Houston.
