How many songs til ya get nekkid??
Ok, so I searched for these questions and I couldn't find them, so don't hang me if someone has already asked.
I've been to some clubs but hadn't really paid attention to these things:
1. when you go in to dance, how does the stage rotation/schedule go?
2. How does each girl know when to go on?
3. how many songs does she dance to on stage until she starts stripping?
4. After she is finished on stage, then what does she do?
5. do the girls prefer to make friends with each other or is it better to keep to yourself and not trust anyone?
I know these are all very basic questions for you all...but that's what makes me a newbie!

most of those questions the answers vary from clubs/area....
but as far as my club.... there are 4 different stages... so once I sign in with the dj he will add me to the rotation... I know when to go on because he will say standy *stage name* for *stage name* over the loudspeaker and that means I will be going on next song... then when that song ends he will say *stage name* on *which stage I will be dancing on* pretty basic stuff.
I keep all my clothes on first song... top off 2nd song... completely nude 3rd song. When I am finished on stage... I get off.lol
I pretty much keep to myself. but the judgement call is on you. alot of the girls there seem to be "friends" with each other.
Re: How many songs til ya get nekkid??
The same thing happens at most of the clubs I've worked at, not much variation.
1. when you go in to dance, how does the stage rotation/schedule go?
You get ready in the DR, tell the DJ when you're ready, he puts you on the list, and then you dance for three songs
2. How does each girl know when to go on?
The DJ calls you to the stage, sometimes a break song goes in between sets so when you hear it you know to listen up
3. how many songs does she dance to on stage until she starts stripping?
At most clubs, the first song is clothed, the second is topless, the third is nude... however if you get tipped alot you may choose to get naked right off the bat, sometimes I personally choose to get topless first song and naked for the last two, I find I get tipped more that way. The other night I just took all my clothes off right away since it was so damn hot!! I think in general you should be completely naked no later than halfway through the last song, unless NO one is tipping, in that case it would be okay to stay clothed, unless your club fines for not getting naked-no-matter-what.
4. After she is finished on stage, then what does she do?
Some clubs require you get fully dressed before you get off stage, others you can just collect your clothes and walk off. Sometimes you will have already collected your money in a garter so you don't have to worry about it, other times the money just goes on the stage, so you scoot around and collect it. Once you get more comfortable, you'll find it's easier to push the money in a pile as you're getting it so you don't spend part of the next dancer's set collecting money. It's also common courtesy in some clubs to wait by the entrance of the stage for the other girl and hold your hand out for the other girl to help her on stage.
5. do the girls prefer to make friends with each other or is it better to keep to yourself and not trust anyone?
At some clubs there are cliques of girls that have been dancing together for awhile, others there are just random dancers that pop in and out and no real cattiness or clique-iness...Personally when I start at a new club I keep to myself, am extremely clean and quiet and out of everyone's way, definitely offer my stuff if someone needs something (like a babywipe or tampon-- no makeup or outfits though), and only speak if they speak to me. Eventually they will warm up to you, sometimes new girls can be annoying with all their questions, especially if they don't know stripper etiquette yet (NEVER ask someone else how much they made), and sometimes veteran dancers feel threatened.
Re: How many songs til ya get nekkid??
Every question you have can in fact be answered (or at least addressed) by using the advanced search and typing keywords for thread titles as opposed to general mentions in posts.
But here's the very abridged version:
1. varies from club to club. (search: stage rotation)
2. varies from club to club and then depends on your DJ (search: announce)
3. varies from club to club. (search: stage undress)
4. either exit the stage or hustle and then exit the stage.
5. are you serious that you couldn't find ANY threads that talked about this specifically?! (search: club friends)
I advise you to A: use the advanced search function and B: go get a job at a strip club. Good luck.

THANK YOU...there are so many threads i get lost in them all...i appreciate the tips on the right direction to search.

Keira,
Thank you for taking the time to specifically answer my questions. it was way more helpful than me trying to search every damn possible term for my questions. THANK YOU!
Re: How many songs til ya get nekkid??
I'm answering based on my knowledge but it may be different at your club.
1. After you are done in the dressing room, you sign in with the DJ and he adds you to the list. I always ask approx how long until I'm onstage and what girl I'm after.
2. Find out who you are after and usually the DJ will announce something like "Up next we have Laila followed by Lexi."
3. We have 3 songs sets: 1) Clothed 2) Topless 3) Nude
4. Get dressed, fix makeup/hair and go hustle for lapdances.
5. This is the hardest question. I think it's best you don't try to make friends right away. You are there to work and make money. After you've been there for awhile you'll be better able to answer this question yourself.
Re: How many songs til ya get nekkid??
OMG keira, I just read your answers after I wrote mine and they are scarily alike LOL
Re: How many songs til ya get nekkid??
It's only my 3rd week of dancing, but here are my answers:
1. when you go in to dance, how does the stage rotation/schedule go?
When you arrive, they put you about about 6 girls down (on the list). You usually have about 40 minutes before you go up. This gives you time to get dressed and prepped. (This is what my club does. Other clubs could be different).
2. How does each girl know when to go on?
I check in with the DJ when I first get on the floor. I see where I am on the list, then I listen for "Kamryn, standby". Then I know I'm up next.
3. how many songs does she dance to on stage until she starts stripping?
We dance 2 songs. The first one, we dance clothed. When the 2nd song starts, we lose the top.
4. After she is finished on stage, then what does she do?
After you finish with one stage, you usually go to the next stage. If there aren't anymore stages, some people will go freshen up in the dressing room, but I just head right out onto the floor. It's the best time to score dances.
5. do the girls prefer to make friends with each other or is it better to keep to yourself and not trust anyone?
I don't actively try to "make friends", but I have been friendly with everyone. Most of the girls I work with tend to be pretty catty - although during the last 2 shifts, a few have started coming around. I think it takes time for them to 'accept' you, and realize that you will be staying awhile!
Re: How many songs til ya get nekkid??
kiera, i have to disagree that it's pretty similar across the board. it varies based by club. like, a lot. i especially have to point out that ive only worked at one club that you did 3 songs.. out of like 7 diff clubs, most have been 2 songs.
ive worked at clubs with a dj, where he will say "so and so has one more, and up next is ****"
i've worked at a club where the dj just randomly picked somebody and either called them up if they were standing around doing nothing, or would grab them and tell them to go up next. there was no set rotation.
my club now, there is no dj, and you get put on a list and have to watch for yourself when you go up.
all of these clubs are in md, btw, within less than an hour of each other.
when you get naked varies based on club/how many songs. if its 3 songs, do 1 dressed, 1 topless, 1 nude. its really up to you to decide and you can see what other girls do.
getting off stage sometimes you will do a tip walk, walk on/around the bar, something like that, or sometimes just get down and get dressed. some clubs have stairs to the dressing room and you go back up, without getting dressed first. some you just get down and get dressed.
honestly the majority of questions youre going to have will be different based on your area and each specific club. you'll have to learn as you go along.
