Dancer201 Your First Night

You don’t have to do your MOST, you just have to do your BEST Eliminate all expectations Your success is based on skill, not looks If you are watching this you’re already one step ahead of much of your competition So you Got Hired, Now What?

Start on a slower mid-week shift Friday and Saturday nights are very hectic Managers/housemoms don’t want to do orientation Staff pre-occupied with rowdy patrons What day do I start?

Be Ready: Hair, Make-up, Nails Get changed into costume there Lock your personal items Expect Orientation When You Arrive

EXPECT to be ignored Other dancers Several days, weeks, months to break the ice No one is going to sit you down and tell you everything that I’m telling you now. You are ON YOUR OWN!

Follow the club rules Be on time to stage Don’t get drunk Upsell VIP and drinks Tip out EXTRA graciously Be a Model Contractor

Bouncers/Security Waitresses/VIP staff Management Other Friendly Dancers Work on Social Capital

If your club serves food-salad, grilled chicken Avoid burger, fries, wings If your club doesn’t serve food Bring Snacks-fruit, protein bars Eat every 2 ½ to 3 hours Keep Your Energy Up!
