While working at the club, do not be intimidated. THEY CAN SMELL THE FEAR. jk haha

No but really, don’t be intimidated. Some girls don’t mind helping out new girls. I don’t always like to offer my assistance, but I’ve definitely offered it to a couple girls in the past before… mainly because I could tell they were genuinely nice girls. 

Clubs have been cracking down on employee misconduct, they realize hostile environments are counter-productive. Don’t go in trying to make friends, friends will come eventually. Friends can slow you down in making money, they can also come with insider drama … when you’re new, the less you know about the gossip the better off you are, working independently can keep you focused. DO YOU! You’re there for you first anyways right? I hope so.

It doesn’t hurt to make a friend or two. The nicer girls will usually give you a hint on how to work the club. IF a girl goes about giving you advice in a shitty way, pretend as if you didn’t notice her shitty-ness and as if she meant well by it. lol Politely thank her and keep it pushing … I have had girls give me advice and it have a condescending tone and underlying motive beneath it, [to shake my confidence] and because I didn’t react like a bitch, it later benefited me. After all, we are all ladies, and ladies play nice. haha I almost didn’t want to keep that last sentence there because it’s hard to take seriously. ANYWAYS, Some girls will compliment you on your look or style of dance, or it could be as simple as, “hey we have similar styles or body types do you want to go on stage together?” Those are the ones you’ll usually bond with and become friendly with in time. I usually invite a girl to the table I’m working at where I’m out numbered by the guys. I introduce myself to the girl, ask her for her name and introduce her to the table, make them aware that it’s my first week and then direct the focus back onto the men. Share your work by inviting girls in on the table/guests you are entertaining. It’s a good ice breaker. Don’t be discouraged. Dancing can either be a crutch, a stepping stone, liberating or a burden. It’s usually dependent on your attitude and perspective… A smile goes a long way.  
” Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.” - Wear Sunscreen [my favorite quote on advice]
