Gosh, BigGreen would sure shit a fit if he ever came to Portland. There are SEVERAL successful clubs here with jukeboxes. ;D
Few clubs I've worked in didn't have a DJ but it was the barstaff have done the DJing! Some did the job pretty damn well and they played OUR music for our stage sets, cut our songs when requested and drummed up audiences and spenders over the mic and they didn't expect tips. In fact, some clubs forbid tipping among staff because unlike dancers, everone else is on a guaranteed income. I think it's good because it avoids petty rivalry and fights (e.g. may not be good for a nice working environment and maintaining decent club rep. Plus it increases pressure on dancers, especially if it's been a tough night).

I have already said that Dancers and DJ's should work together, not against eachother.
...I can perform to any music style even if I don't care for it. And I do it without complaint too.
I have never missed a roll call, a stage set or even been late to stage. Not even once in nearly 10 years. I am also always dressed correctly for stage and follow all the rules, should there be any.
The only DJ's I have EVER had a problem are those who are unable or unwilling to work as a team. Or in other words those who think it is THEIR show.
I am not some diva dancer. I am a professional who has been in this industry for a long time. I have worked top clubs in NYC, LV, LA , Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago as well as London and Paris too...
Wow, I could use a few more like you!
I was gone when this was posted--guess I missed all the fun, lol...

Well, there's one here that yells out "free blowjobs in the VIP".
Which is probably a bad idea, since the management has to keep roping of the section of the VIP where such things are happening.
And, I'm not sure, but I don't think they're free. :-\

Well they sure ain't free in my club, lol...
But some dancers don't charge extra, and that really sucks, no pun intended.
Yeah, that's an asshole DJ.
I knew a guy who would shriek the word "pussy" as often as possible. "VIP" meant "Very Intense Pussy", etc. They had six different Red Bull type Poosy" drinks, so he got to shriek "pussy" six times in a row. He would also gobble those legal speed pills you get at gas stations like candy. But I already wrote a funny story about him way back more than two years ago, so I'm repeating myself now.
I did hear the manager of that club, a 6'6" former wrestler, literally threw him out the door one night.
