    Default New Vs. Not New?

    I was wondering how long you think it takes to be dancing, when you know for sure you are "experienced." Like, for sure for sure...of course within the first month you FEEL very experienced and mgmt is not promoting you as the "new girl" anymore which you officially aren't I guess, but...how long is experienced?

    I voted 9 months, b/c by then a dancer has likely experienced a few clubs, explored her dancer style, learned/ seen and experienced tons. But, even at a few years, you still have oodles to learn!!!

    Depends on how long it takes the individual to learn. Everyone has a different amount of time that it takes them. Does a girl stay at one club or bounce around lots? Do they have a thick skin when they start or will they have to develop it? Do they have rhythm or not when they start? How easily do they take to heels? To being nekkid? To being groped? Etc. Cant estimate something that changes from girl to girl.

    I voted one year as then you have lasted longer than most IMO.

    Actually, I would say 3+ years except you don't have that option on the poll as then you have prooved you can 'last' within this industry for any decent length of time thus you are definately experienced plus alot of girls by three years have managed to try a few clubs.

    I know I didn't move from my first ever club until I was a 'year old' in the business.

    I wasn't new after three months or a year, but I was still very inexperienced. I would say 3-5 years to really become a professional in this industry. But that's just speaking for myself. I've seen others take to it instantly and some who never get it. I guess it's different for everyone.

    Depends how often you work and how serious you take it.

    Im at around a year n a half into it now, i've been working 6 days a week since I started and taken maybe a total of 3 weeks off in the year n a half.

    I think im experienced and know my job well now.

    yea, i would actually agree with GCG and say 2-3 years. so i voted 1+ year. the first two years i had not foudn SW so maybe that helped, but i was still stuck in the omg i made $300 mode. as for where im at now, i mean, it took 6 years to become this good at what i do.

    Love it!

    Again I think it's hard to put a time frame on it because it also depends on how often you work. That is the biggest variable in my opinion. Take someone who works 3 days a week and they've been doing it for a year. There are 52 weeks in a year so thats 156 days of actual dancing. Take someone like myself who worked 6 nights a week when I danced. Thats 312 days of actual dancing per year. You know the one whos worked 312 days has seen a lot more, dealt with a lot more and has learned a lot more than the one who's done 156 because she's spent more actual time doing it. The one who does 312 days in a year hits that 156 mark at 6 months in to it. So it all depends on how much actual time you've been doing it, by actual days danced, not just a 6 month or 1 year mark. I'm not exactly sure when it is you surpass the newbie stage. But I do know that even when I hit my three years in the business, I knew a lot more than then some of those who had danced for a lesser time, but there were still many things to learn. I dont think you ever stop learning things when you dance. Be it a new hustle technique or something else about how people work.

    I would say after a year of dancing regularly a dancer has a pretty good idea of what to expect and not to expect. For instance if a dancer is a full time student and only works one weekend night each week plus works spring break, winter break and few weeks in the summer, she is not going to have the kind of stripping knowledge that a regular house girl will. She will be shocked by some things when/if she does go full time.

    So, my short answer is about 2000 hours on the job moves a dancer from newbie to seasoned pro in most cases.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    Hmm, really good points Aine and Paris. I guess I assumed a minimum of 4 shifts, yea 2 more a week make a huge difference tho.
