Dancing for the first time
Alyssatanggg
Good evening everyone! This is my first time posting on this site, and I suppose I have a few questions for all of you seasoned club patrons (and of course dancers).
I'm a 21 year old college student. Over the summer, with the coaxing of a friend, I applied at a strip club as a hostess. To my surprise, I got the job a week later, and thus began divulging into a different kind of environment. It was foreign, sensual, and almost empowering to me. Every dancer was so sweet, had a story to tell, and the management became a family unit. The customers were usually interesting as well, and I basked in the fun conversations I've had with intellectual men and women who would take their time out to tip me for my conversation.
I enjoyed every minute to say the least.
Now, a few months later, I've unfortunately had to quit my summer job due to school. As months went by, I found myself infatuated with the idea of dancing.
So...I decided to apply at a strip club after months of deliberation. I could use the quick cash to push me along, and I also find the atmosphere comfortable.
I went to the club a few days ago, expecting an audition. I held a bag with baby wipes, perfume, lingerie, and carried hope coupled over with anxiety. I was nervous..as I'm sure most first timers are.
I was hired on the spot. I'm not, in my opinion, unattractive. I'm 5'2, petite frame with a round shapely backside and proportionate breast I suppose. I'm a mix of Jamaican and Asian, with deep brown skin and large almond eyes. I was somewhat afraid my curves and skin color would be a deliberating factor..as this seemed to be a mostly white club. So imagine how shocked I felt! Lol
In any case, I'm to work my first night next week and I'm quite excited. Still, if anyone has any tips or tools of trade, I'd love to know! Customers welcome as well. What do you like in a dancer? Don't like? I'm a bit of a conversationalist, and a nerd. For some reason that surprises people! Lol
In any case, just sharing an experience. :)

If you'd care to share where you'll be working that might help other members assist you. If you're not comfortable divulging the precise club, then just the city or region will help some.
Haha yes! And Jamaican/Asian food is deeelish. I cannot wait for Thanksgiving! Best of both worlds. ;)
Thanks for your advice sharkhunter. I always exercise politeness, even towards the more rude customers. At my old job, I would be genuinely happy to get tips so I always thanked them graciously. I will definitely do my best to keep potential tippers in mind as I dance. That's something I'll have to grow accustomed to.
Thanks guys, your advice will definitely be kept in mind!
I'm not interested in those. I feel dancing is one thing and extras are a separate clause. I'm not talking down on dancers who do these favors in exchange for money, but it's just not something I'm comfortable with. I'll definitely scope out the club and see if this is really something I want to do. Who knows? It may or may not be for me! :)
My type of work would be kind of different I suppose. I want the customers to feel comfortable with me. I want them to feel respected, yet seem like a fantasy to them. I feel as though extras ruin the sensual, fantasy element. Maybe that's just me ahh! Lol
Thanks again guys!
Doesn't sound too fantastic to me. Sounds like stripper 101.
Circulate and say hello to customers
Talk a little while before asking if the customer wants a lap dance but don't waste much time on customers who are not buying dances.
Do a good stage performance that is sexy and includes flirting. Make eye contact with the customers. Then, stop by to say thanks to anyone who tips you on stage. If you club allows this, offer a dollar dance at the customer's table-- if the mini dollar dance is fun, then sometimes it can lead to a longer private dance.
Cooperate with the other dancers to refer customers to each other-- I've had dancers offer to send over a different dancer that I found attractive-- referrals should go both ways but it does have the added benefit of getting some customers to stay around longer and spend more money if they are having a good time.
Upgrade the fun in the VIP private dance area to whatever level is comfortable for you. Some of the customers pass along suggestions for which dancers provide an especially good private dance. Ask the more popular dancers in the club what they do during their private dances. You can set your limits at what ever level is tolerated by the club and is comfortable for you. But keep in mind that some dancers will provide a better experience than others and customers will spend their money where they get the most "bang" for the buck. And sometimes what you're selling (e.g., nice conversation) is not what the customers are willing to buy. Good luck and post an update.
Keep an eye on the tip-outs in your club (or prospective club), too. Those could seriously cut into your income.
A couple of the guys have brought up "extras" and you said that you're not interested in performing those. That's your prerogative. However, even if extras are off the table, there will be some guys who will try to paw you. I don't know if your club permits that or if you'll tolerate it, but it's also something to keep in mind when you go back for some dances.
As far as I've seen, TUSCL seems to have more seasoned veterans posting here, guys who can be a lot more tactful and discrete. You might want to check out some other strip-club review sites as well, such as stripclublist.com, to get ideas on your club and other clubs from less tactful reviewers.
Again, welcome aboard, and remember -- NERDS RULE!
(Geez, I'm already feeling a little smitten.)
ASIAN?
But she is also part Jamaican . You will never catch her in a foot race.

...happen to you. Otherwise, just wing it. Horny dudes will spend money when they're 'round naked chicks. You can rely on that. No system needed.
A new stripper. In a high income state. Who won't be providing extras. Looks like my call that we peaked out on extras is playing out just as I said it would!
Since I'm still dealing with a broken foot, I can't catch anybody! Maybe she would let me catch her if

As the token female customer here, please feel free to ask me any questions that you might have about us lady custies. Please enjoy your stay here :-)
Now some of my favorite dancers have occasionally told a song was free, the DJ was talking for 2 or 3 minutes or cut the song real short, etc. etc. or she was just being nice. If dances aren't prepaid and it's simply an agreement between you and the customer, that goes a long way towards becoming a favorite and getting repeat business in my opinion.
I like to know how much mileage I can get in a dance and not just the dance price. Ie, what is ok to touch or not touch. I visit clubs where dances are not prepaid. In one club the dance price is negotiable. I often get less expensive dances from favorites if I buy multiple dances.
+ don’t wear what *you* think is cute or sexy – wear stuff that is provocative – you are not in the “real world” in a strip-club; you are in a sexually charged atmosphere where PLs will often spend more the more sexually charged they are (the more you turn them on; the more they will probably spend)
+ think about what turns on your BF or past BFs – not that your BF/past-BFs are the same thing as a custy in the SC; but they both have one thing in common of both being men – if you know what turns on your man/BF (in terms of what you wear or how you act); then most likely the same thing will turn on most male custies
+ in the “real world”; if a guy is staring-you-down/eye-fucking-you; you may feel uncomfortable – in SC bizarro world; a guy starring you down means possible bu$$iness and not something to shy away from
+ any custy out of their way to get your attention (eye contact; stage tipping, etc) means potential business
+ don’t assume a particular type of custy will not be into-you/like-you – you never know – happens to me quite a bit where dancers have told me that at first they thought I would not go for them or that they would not be my type and they were wrong – one never knows what makes each person tick
+ men are visual and physical – touching them often times has a positive affect especially if you become comfortable w/ the “strip-club handshake” (it’s kryptonite for many a PL)
+ do not look at the SC environment w/ too much of rose colored goggles – it’s all about $$$ and when it comes to $$$ often times friends become enemies – some clubs have very good and healthy work environments – but in many clubs some of the dancers are seriously fucked up and have had had fucked up lives and will turn on you in a NY minute especially if they are jealous of you or think you are taking their custies and fucking w/ their $$$
+ custies that are all about extras will make you believe that is extras or nothing and w/o extras a dancer can’t make $$$ - that may be the case in certain clubs or maybe places like Detroit; but IMO extras are often not the main action in most SCs
+ if you are not familiar; check out stripperweb.com since that is a site for and about dancers
+ best of luck to you and stay sexy :

I do not like when dancers pull down their top to show their breasts and the clothing is hanging down around their waist. Strip if you are going to strip.
And if you do pull your top off while you are on stage when a guy comes to tip you, then leave your top off. I watched a girl bare her breasts for a guy who tipped her and she had a great rack. As I stood up to also go tip her as he left, she pulled her top back up and covered up! Poor form and she did not get my tip.
Don't be shy, if you're going to be a stripper, then strip! Good luck
There are four types who you should not fall in love with.
Just have fun and have a plan when to quit. Put a mark on the calendar and count the days. Time will pass quick and before you know it that day will be tomorrow.
Money will flow like crazy just make sure you know there will be a day in the future that will dry up. Do not wait for that day.
Stash that money into a savings account or stock. Lock it and forget that money until you're done dancing.
Don't go shopping the next day.
Do not make Ulta, Sephora, Victoria Secret richer by going there everyday and buying at least $500 a visit.
But most of all, do not, I mean, stay away, do not get into a love relationship with your:
1. Club Manager
2. Drug Dealer
3. Pimp
4. Customers (plural)
Why am I telling you this?
It's because I will be getting the same reaction from you and my CF who is totally into the stripper lifestyle.
If you find yourself old and still in that lifestyle, just remember I told you about it in this thread.
Oh by the way, just make sure the dead beat daddy is capable of even showing up sober.
+ DEF be careful w/ the smooth talkers – good chance you will run into some of them – the SC is NEVER a place to meet a guy – at worst you’ll come across a pimp and at best a guy that just wants to bang a stripper for free – the “smooth talkers” are hard to see for whom they really are thus a “smooth talker” in the SC should raise some flags in your mind – any guy wanting to chat you up too much and not spend $$$ on you is at best a time-waster and at worst someone trying to make you one of “his girls” (i.e. pimp)
+ regulars (custies that come to see you @ the club and only you) can be a good thing – but no “relationship” is perfect – many regulars can get whiney and often expect to get tread like the greatest thing since sliced bread – so there are pros (regular $$$) and cons (whiney; clingy) – many dancers keep in touch w/ regulars – best to get a Google # (google.com/voice) or a separate burn ph (either of these 2 options allow for anonymity – i.e. you don’t want any SC custy knowing too many personal details about such as your full name etc and if you give them your real cell # they can find out your name w/ not a whole lot of effort)
+ if you decided to see custies outside the club; they need to pay for your time even if it’s just dinner – you are not there to be anyone’s GF; you are a business woman
P.S.
I’m sure other things will pop in my mind later)
Feel free to weigh in on any threads you find interesting. You will find that there are a number of very different POV's on this forum.

I say resist, I repeat DO NOT for the sake of peace, do not even entertain of taking home this guy even if he says he is broke and has no money.
Do not give him money!!!
