I am considering dancing because i heard their is money in it , i just need some real advice no jokes, because i really need the money. I have a audition tomorrow and i am just need some advice Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I am a mom of 3; rec'ved no child support from my ex. I was a dancer, then ppl kept tellin' me I should be a stripper. Which I eventually did, its NOT for every1. Like any other job its got its pros & cons. You can make real good money, but, NOT everyday. I could be here for hours giving u all kinds of details. Lemme just give a few as a starting point...k? You deal w/ drunks---the customers & co-workers. Most females are there to support their kids. I've always said in each and every bar u could Easily find... (among the women) a mom supporting her kids,a college student, a drunk, a drug addict, an alcoholic, a prostitute, loose women, (1 that doesn't charge;in the Bible, they are the same), a shark (i.e. a female who is all about the $), the usual soap box drama that goes on @ work, favoritism,some places the girls work together to help each other make $--Some Don't. If u r determened to do this....then Get Noticed!! You r there to make $$ for the bar. Period. If they don't notice you, u won't make $$. Your $$ is secondary. You 'pay' to work @ the bar, its called 'tip out'-- it's up to the bar who gets what & how much; its "a minuimum" ---like min., 20.00 to the house, min., 10 to the D.J., if theres 1 barkeep 10 min., if there's 2 or more it could be 15 and higher...usually, its the Mgr./ house, D.J., bartenders,bouncers, housemother and/or a hair/make-up woman, {that's if they have these 2; housemother not optional, hair/make-up only if u use her services }, outside security guy (some places this 1 is optional). And I said just a few.... You Gotta Have Game!!! Some girls will tell u to lie (2 the customers) they did me... I didn't lie, didn't have to,I was bi, I did have a b/f... usually 2. You can't go out w/ the customers- U GET FIRED! prostitution. You can't give out your phone # or n/e other way to contact you outside the club. U GET FIRED! prostitution. edit: what 'Freedom' wrote. I agree, completely. I have seen that also, mom & dghtr., working @ the same bar. Old women, working there. Use as a stepping stone; If You r going to do this. And get out! Don't get caught up in the partying. |
