just follow my advice. Go inside, find a good place to sit and watch the action. When a girl comes up to you and asks if you want a dance either say yes or no. If you do get the dance then just sit back and enjoy it. Once she finishes she ask if you want another. If you want another than say yes and if you don't just say no. Its really not the most difficult thing in the world. As for the so called "sharks" don't really worry about them. They can only take money from you if they perform a "service" for you. Just say no if you don't want a dance or whatever. Why don't you just go early for your first time because going late may be a little intimidating in the sense that its going to be more crowded and it might make you feel a little uncomfortable. I wouldn't go in the day because they don't have their "A" team but you can still get the same services and once you get it out of the way you'll be much better. Plus with not that many other people there you can probably get your pick of girl. Just be smart, know how much money you can spend and have fun.
