    Default looking at beginning & i'm nervous.

    as a freshman in college i've been experiencing some financial issues for a little while, but lately, as everything's come to a head, i've taken to seriously considering dancing. my boyfriend and i have discussed it and he supports me. one of my close friends is also in support of me. more than anything, i'm just nervous about actually going and doing it, i think. i'm not sure what to expect, or how to audition. everything i've read suggests that it's possible to just walk in and tell someone you'd like a job, but that seems oddly... simple.

    i found this web site last night and was relieved to see so many articles and so much advice from women who have actually done this, and who are clearly comfortable with themselves and their profession. it gives me hope that i can do this. but i don't know - i don't want to be up on a stage, flinging myself around a pole with no idea of what i'm doing. i understand that there'll be a learning curve, but at the same time, i'm terrified. does that make sense?

    i suppose more than anything i keep coming up with ridiculous little questions; do i wear my hair down? do i wear shorts? a skirt? do you move your own clothes off the stage, or just dance around them? how long is an appropriate song to dance to before you just want to quit?

    the clubs around my area are listed on the strip club list. i've found that most of them are nude (which makes me somewhat nervous to begin with) but the reviews vary widely and don't tell me much of what to expect (with the exception of one, stating, "the girls are definitely for sale", which tells me to stay away). this wednesday i'll be going around the area and... investigating, for lack of a better word. does anyone have any advice? - anything, from things to avoid, to what to wear to ask for an audition.. i'm very anxious, but serious about getting the job.

    thanks.

    First let me say welcome to SW.

    Being nervous is normal, so don't worry if you feel that way. I know long-time veteran dancers who still feel a little anxious their first day back from a brief time off.

    Heh, you think the hiring process seems oddly simple? Well, in reality most clubs are constantly in need of entertainers. Dancers come and go on a regular basis, so clubs are eager to hire new faces to fill out their schedules. Also, in most clubs the dancers are independent contractors, and pay the club a house fee in order to be able to work, so more dancers equals more money for the club. Still seem oddly simple?

    It's cool that you're going out on a scouting trip later this week. That's one of the first things I ask when someone says their thinking about becoming a dancer...Have they evey been to a SC yet? As you look around the places you'll get a flavor for how the clubs operate. You'll get a sense for how the stage sets work, how the dancers dress, how the private dances are given, the types of customers it caters to, the style of music that's played, etc. etc. etc. When you have specific questions you can feel free to ask the manager or post here on SW for feedback. Be sure to read through the threads as many topics have been already covered.

    One sugestion on your scouting trips is to check out clubs during the shifts you're most likely to work. For example, if your schedules mean you'll be working days, than visiting on a Friday night might not be the best representation of what you can expect while working your normal shifts.

    In terms of SCL, in the vast majority of cases those MBs aren't worth anything. The few people who post on them, may not represent the customer base as a whole, and often times it just becomes a place where dancers can anonymously flame other dancers, or employees of another club can post negative comments about their competition.

    Best of luck!
    If you can't win. Make the fellow in front of you break the record.

    GOODLUCK GIRL! tonites gonna be my first night!! so glad yer boyfriend supports u. thats a hard one. i finnaly got mine to (Sort of) accept it. he asks me, "you promise yer doing this just for the money, right?" and im thinkin "uh..duh!" (and well cuz i like to be on stage and wear sexy clothes haha)

    anyways, ya good idea to check out some clubs. find one that makes u feel comfortable. i picked one with no touching policy...then i can go home with a peace of mind to my boyfriend. it really does t ake a strong and secure b/f to handle this kind of job for his g/f. but yer worth it, anyways!

    well, im sure u wont look stupid on there. its basically pretty easy. ive worked in a stripclub as a waitress for some time, and the girls hyptnotize the guys in any way. jus do up there wut makes u feel sexy. dance like yer the sexiest woman of all. slowly, seductively. give sexy eye contact. smile. show off yer body like yer proud of it. be confident, think yer worth the $$$, and guys will start to beileve you.

    crazy how its so simple to get a job like this, isnt it? haha. no fucking two-three page applications! LOL.

    u cud wear yer hair down or up...doesnt matter. wutever u feel best in. im sure u can wear wutever skirt or shorts u want. u shud go to a stripper store that has a bunch of stripper clothes...find an outfit or two. yesterday, i bought this bright pink booty shorts and a tie up halter top. i hope it glows in the black light!

    anyways, im pretty sure u leave yer clothes on the stage. so u can gather them wen u leave. i think it depends on the club but most songs are bout 3 mins.

    (This is a good website..i wud especailly check out the "so u wanna be a stripper?" section. good info for starting out!)

    i guess u cud either call the club or jus walk in..say u wanna apply for a job. at my club i got hired at, i didnt have to auditon. but if they do at the place u go to, maybe u shud jus bring a set of heels and some clothes? not really sure bout that.

    anyways., this is way too long. haha im jus replying cuz yer sort of in the same situation as me. im nervous too..but excited at the same time..crazy combo! goodluck!!!!!!! ill need some tonight, too! haha.

    Good luck! Everyone is nervous there first night,"unless they're drunk"it will get better after a few nights. Just make sure your going to a safe club,try posting the area you are looking to work in and girls can suggest clubs.

    hey good luck.. i just started out as well... .truthfully for me.. when you are on stage you barely realize that you are actually naked.. you dont even feel it.... it feels in a weird way natural.. well for me .. there are people that dont feel like that obviously.. but make the most of it!
