Hi loves, I want to get started with dancing. I am a dancer, but I’m not a pole dancer. I’m honestly nervous. I live in a small town in TX where there aren’t any strip clubs. Tbh I have never been to one, though I have extensive partying and traveling experience. I will need to travel to Houston or Austin to work. I’m scared of moving out of the town altogether to a big city, and not make the rent. I don’t know how much I’m going to make to risk it all. So I’m thinking maybe it’s better to commute for now. I’m 1-2 h away from Houston (depending on which part of Houston I’m traveling to) and 2h away from Austin. Maybe sleep in my car after work till I can drive back or get a motel if I made enough money for the night. As I said I’m not a pole dancer, hopefully I’m going to get some pole lessons this summer in the town where I’m living, though I have some nerve problems that had affected my wrist and I have been struggling to afford physical therapy. I have heard that most dancers don’t start off being great pole dancers so I’m hoping I can get started before I perfect pole dancing skills. But I’m still nervous about passing audition. I’d appreciate any tips, plus what core moves/skills is needed to pass an audition and make money. I also don’t what good and safe clubs are out there. I’m worried about getting assaulted and trafficked. I also know I gotta be tipping the security every night just to get in the club and be protected. How much typically dancers tip? I have soo many questions. But I know I gotta get started somewhere and figure it out. If you know of any clubs in this area (Houston/Austin) and willing to support me so I can safely get started I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot in advance
