When you 1st started dancing, what were the skill requirements? Were you good at pole dancing? I’m a little intimidated to start.
Starting dancing is something that I would tell 90% of girls not to do. It’s REALLY intimidating and, depending on the city and the club, the girls can be really terrible to newbies. The most important things walking into a club for your first time are the following, in my opinion.
1) Be humble. Girls that have been dancing 10+ years are starting to see their money dwindle. New girls are a threat to their income, and regardless of whether you think they’re washed up or not, they have put up with a lot of bullshit in their time, and here you come, wobbling in your 6 inch heels, making more than they do. They may seem like bitches, but the truth is that they are just scared, and when a stripper is scared of losing her money, and a new girl has an attitude, skulls get punctured with stilettos.
2) Don’t get drunk. You will be nervous. Alcohol *may* cure that, but it will definitely also make you look like an idiot. Drinking at work is something I never recommend, but if you must, wait until youre a little more comfortable in your new surroundings.
3) Dont be too friendly to girls. No one wants to talk to you. Smile and speak when spoken to for the first month or so. Earn respect by having etiquette. Don’t wait for girls to go on stage and then steal their customers. Dont approach guys at the tip rail. Tip the girls on stage that you think are pretty.
4) Make alliances with money. Dont ever be the girl who tips the DJ or hospitality the minimum unless you really cant afford to tip more.
5) Start a savings instead of buying fancy shoes.
6) Make sure your gstring covers EVERYTHING. I like these:

double up until youre used to them.
7) Dont try and steal other people’s stage moves too blatantly. Watch, but don’t stare, and only do the ones that look simple. Practice at home. Don’t bother with the pole, just use it for stability. When in doubt, bend over and show your butt, or lie and the ground and arch your back as much as you can. Slow dancing > fast. Practice at home.
8) Be honest with customers. They’ll love that you’re brand new. But dont get attached to the newbie money. It only lasts 6 months. SAVE SOME.
Be careful, and realize that your life is about to change. Be sure that you are ready. If you have any more ?s, feel free to post.
