    Default i quit shows

    Last night I had a booking at 5:30pm in Brisbane. I don’t mind early shows, in fact I love them, it means I have more time to get bookings in the evening. I organized my day around the show (including, not going to my dads for his birthday!) and drove up to Brisbane around 3pm. Arrived at the address I was given at 5:15. No one was there. I made a quick call the party organizer to check that everyone was arriving by 5:30pm. Apparently we were at the wrong ‘west’s rugby club’ cool. No worries look on the map there’s a west’s junior club about 3 km away. Must be that one. We drive there. Nope. No one there. Call again. Given the street address. ‘Perfect. We will see you in 10mins’ drive down some retarded residential road that only allows you to drive on to a highway. Great. Had to stay on the highway until the first exit to turn around. Way to waste another 20 odd minutes.

    The party organizer calls and gets angry that it is now past 6pm and we still haven’t arrived. Insinuates we were never there in the first place. I try to explain I was given the wrong address, and the rugby park he claims to be at isn’t on my map. Tell him we are on our way. Drive down the road he says the park is on. Pass a park – bulldogs something or other grounds. Nope that not it. I was told west’s, no mention of bulldogs. Ring back the organizer to say I give up. get absolute shit from them for not being there, not being able to find it, and being late. Apparently, the bucks party is the only ones losing out on this show. I remind them I drove from the freaking gold coast (over and hours drive) to be at this show, and now im not getting paid either. that show cost me money too.

    Then I speak to my agent about it all. Apparently it becomes my fault that he gave me the wrong address in the first place- on his map book the west’s stadium is printed, on mine it isn’t. I think he thinks im lying. Fuck it. Ill scan it and send it to him to prove it!



    I get the shits that im blamed for losing the show. I had the wrong address in the first place. And no one mentioned the sports grounds might be called bulldogs. Apparently, I should have known it was the same thing. Bulldogs,wests. I don’t see the resemblance myself!



    I had another show booked for 9:30/10pm that would have ment literally sitting in the car waiting around for 4 hours. Bored shitless for one show? No thanks. Id rather drive back to the gold coast, and have enough time to go into work and make the lost money back.



    I quit. Private show work is dangerous. I’ve been mobbed by guys who seriously wanted to smash us, ive been mobbed and followed to the car by backpackers, I go into a party not knowing what to expect, how drunk and disordley the guys will be etc. the stress just inst worth it for the pay. Now that im at a better club I can make a decent amount on a Saturday night working there, with less stress and knowing im in a safe environment.i guess I just don’t have it in me to be one of those girls at private parties.

    Um.... I just read this... a text message would have been nice ?? None the less, I do agree that it isn't for everyone. I can't work in the clubs locally so I am grateful for any work that I have in re: shows and generally overall they are fun for me. Yes they can be stressful due to all the travelling and trying to find places you have never been to before etc however that is part n parcel of the deal when you sign on.

    Thanks for being my duo partner and you are at a good club so I agree that you should stay there as you will make better money there (plus good regulars) over the show work.

    .... I will keep your experience in mind when dealing with that agency (I can guess which one) and make sure he realises I am not familiar with Brisbane.

    I can see why u dont want to do private parties..I never wanted to do them because i knew if the guys got out of line Id probably punch them in the face....My intolerability of the fact that most men see a "private party" as a free for all doesnt make me a good candidate for private parties They really arent for everyone

    I'll be needing you Morr. in Jan and Feb ....... I'll be in Darwin most of December so that's not a worry for me Yeh... I was guessing the same agency. He doesn't give me much work when I am home so I can't say much about this particular agency. None the less, I'll continue with the private party work for the time being.

    This is the reason why dancers need to call their customers before heading out to the show. A phone call in advance will:
    A. Confirm that the show is a real one and still happening
    B. Gives the dancer a chance to hustle and get the customer excited about the possibility of TIPPING a lot.
    C. The dancer can explain her rules and that the rules must be followed.

    So many agencies don't let their dancers contact the customer before the show. I'm assuming this is because they don't want the dancer to give away any little white lies the agent told before in order to close the deal.

    The girls know how to hustle, I think they should be allowed to do their jobs.
