Getting hired at Follies as a Black Dancer
MAASXX
Hi there! I’m a black dancer based in Atlanta and was wondering if any Follies customers would be able to asses my chances of getting hired here? I’ve tried to audition for dayshift on multiple occasions but never managed to get hired for whatever reason. About me : 5’9”, slim build, perky butt. Here's an album of me —> https://imgur.com/a/qoK5joL
Thanks in advance!

I and a lot of other customers would like to see an increase in attractive white dancers but given a choice between attractive and fugly, would choose attractive regardless of race. You look a lot better than most of the dancers that I have been seeing there lately.
Kinda looks like the owner's wife is doing the hiring. :) Good luck.
1) Follies is a popular club and I assume they can't hire every girl that wants to work there especially on the more popular dayshift
2) Follies is probably the most AA-dancer-friendly mixed-club I've seen but most mixed clubs seem to have a quota on black dancers I assume to keep the club from becoming a black club where most of the white custies end up leaving - i.e. could be they don't want dayshift to become mostly AA like nightshift
Worth a try to try nightshift and see if you can transition to at least midshift (if they have a midshift)
Yeah I'm not remotely interested in going on a site where its most active members are a bunch of unhelpful, whorephobic (that's another topic),and RUDE dancers that are always bitching about stripping's "glory years" where you'd "make soooo much more while doing far less". I'd take this site any day of the week, thank you
I digress. I'll try Follies for both and day and night today. If that doesn't work, you might see me at Gold rush (or to be quite honest, in Birmingham or Columbia...I've lost my patience with Atlanta)
TUSCLer EveHartley is an AA dancer out of Jacksonville and may be able to give you some insight if it interests you.
Goldrush used to be a great mixed club but is now a so so black club in a very ghetto neighborhood. At least they do have a guy watching the parking lot for a couple of bucks.
No license needed (except for some ID that shows you’re over 18). No need to get naked (though nobody will stop you from doing so in the VIP should you so desire). And I know at least two clubs that will practically drag you back in the DR if you even *hint* that you want to dance. :)
Other than Porthole, I can't think of a mixed club in South FL that has more than 3 AAs working per shift.
Tootsies seems to be hiring some now and by some I mean maybe 4 or 5 in a dancer-crew of 75+ girls, not exactly good odds.
But in all practicality, the investment will likely pay off well.
There was one dancer (granted this was during the early 2000s and she was working high end champagne room clubs) whose income increased by 60k after her procedure.
As beautiful as Ebony is, colorism is very real and she has to be on her A game to make money or even get hired places.
If you go through with it, good luck!
4Play, Gold Club, Solid Gold, Pink, Porthole, in Pompano all almost certainly would. Cheetah and Booby Trap are 50/50 in my estimation, both seem to have a limit on # of black girls they want at any given time, but do hire them. Diamond Dolls I think is unlikely, I've seen hotter girls come in their during the day to audition and be sent away (no offense to OP) they've got a type at DD and they stick to it most of the time. I doubt there's a club in West Palm that wouldn't hire her. I agree Rhino would love to have her, I think Monroe's and The Manor are both low on dayshift girls too so would probably bite. I'm guessing Scores would, but that's a guess as I don't go in there much. Flashdance and T's will hire anyone with a pulse. Sugar D's probably any black girl of any size or fat white girls will get hired.
That's at least 8 almost for sure, and probably another 5 or so probabably's. A good number of them you probably don't want to work at.
And finally, I'd say skip the boob job too. Unless that bra is holding them up and they're really saggy, size wise they're fine. At least for my personal preference. I do agree, from a financial perspective as a stripper they probably will make you money, unfortunately.
But yay! Congrats you got this!
And I’ll make good on my promise! ;)
Anyways, I went in for night shift yesterday. I’ll try dayshift today and see if I can get my foot in the door. Let’s hope I don’t get the run around like I have in the past
ALSO : do you reckon that's the type of spot where I could run dance specials (2 for $10. Free dance if you "trust" me on TUSCL) ? Upon reading the reviews and getting more insight into the nature of this place, I HIGHLY doubt that I'll get "disciplined" but as the youth say...bitches be trippin
You are just gonna have to hustle and not assume a particular custy won't want a dance from you b/c you can't really tell unless you ask - i.e. if you wanna make $$$ approach everybody and also check what is the earliest time they allow you to come-in in case you can catch some of the dayshift custies.
Hold the juice I am trying to quit.
Ebony729 I wish you the best of luck in getting hired at Follies. Although I wish it was for day shift since it seems all the folks here that live in that vicinity only do day shift. Still, I hope you can get rained on by all the young black dudes that show up at night time.
And as for the boob job, I knew everyone on here would tell you not to get one. So once again, I'll be that lone guy that says DO IT! Although us big fake boob lovers are almost nowhere to be found on this site, I'm sure there are a huge number of us out there. Some guys commented about not getting dances from fake boob chicks. Well I'm the opposite, if a chick ain't packin up top, I'm not buying dances. Doesn't have to be fake, but it's gotta be big.
Day two she quit for the year LMFAO
My opinion on Boob Jobs. Don't do it or not do it for a guy. If it helps your self esteem go for it. Guys will say they don't like it. But when the girls come out they shut the fuck up don't they?
And good info. If I ever dance in Portland, I’ll stick to downtown only as well
