Good luck, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone pissed all over your etiquette list. It's like telling me to take my elbows off of the table. I'm a grown-ass woman, don't tell me what to do.
If you're concerned about what the club wants from its girls, just ask the club. But if you're looking for more of how women should treat each other up in the club, you could probably find a lot of info if you search these here forums.
I wrote something like that a while ago... http://www.hobostripper.com/index.ph...per-etiquette/
An advanced title search for "etiquette" brings up a bunch of threads. Here's one to start.

I have to agree with the others, good luck with that. The new breed of strippers could care less about etiquette.
I've tried to tell newbies at my club about stripper etiquette and I may as well beat my head against the wall.
Never talk to the customers at the tip rail unless its to thank them immediately after your set. Those customers belong to the dancer onstage.
Never sit with a customer that's already sitting with another girl unless you already know she's ok with it.
Be polite- respect other people's belongings and space.
If you work at a nude club don't put your naked pussy on the pole.
I'll post more when I think of them.
Don't act like everyones BFF from day 1. (not really etiquette, just unwritten rule)
Know the rules and abide by them, even if vet strippers are breaking them left and right. In the beginning play by the book.
Don't get drunk, even if girls do.
I second LuckyOne, def steer clear from the tiprail custies.
Once again, new girls are typically pretty oblivious/uninterested in etiquette.
.... I think using regular manners works fine in most situations though. I just know some gals who bitch and moan when they get told, even in the nicest way possible, what to do. Especially when it concerns their jobs. :x
I think that rule is dependent on the club you work at. If a guy who is sitting at the stage waves me over or otherwise shows interest, I'm going to go over and talk to him. Or if he had agreed to a private dance while I was on stage, but I didn't have time to do it immediately after, I'm going to go back and get him. But in those cases, I always make sure the guy tips the girl on stage before I take him away.
Hmm, dancer etiquette, no cutting throats, no trash talking other dancers to customers, make sure you help the next girl up to the stage, and always make sure you find out the club rules when you start working somewhere. And as a newbie (or a new girl at a club), smile and be nice to the other dancers, but keep them at arms length until you get to know them. But that one is more of a common sense thing than a dancer etiquette thing.
The woman who initially hired me passed out a little day planner with the following advice embossed on the cover:
This is a token of my affection
Use each day wisely
We love perfection
Make money daily
Use time wisely
And when you review your sechedule,
Think of me,
VANITY.
Her name was Vanity.
I still have this thing. It's a treasured possession.
When Vanity was giving off the record advice, though, the thing she said most often was, "mind your business."
In second place was, "how do you expect to make money if you give them whatever they want?"
Sound advice all around, I still believe.
Andi and Red, I simply couldn't agree with the both of you more!
Most girls don't give a fuck about etiquette now, but there are a couple of rule most girls follow anyway (or should)
- Don't hog all the space in the dressing room, and pack up your stuff after using it (you don't want girls taking it anyway).
- Don't be loud or obnoxious in VIP. Your client won't like it, and neither will other girls clients. No one will get extended dances or tips out of this.
- If your doing pole tricks, keep your G on. Once it's off, you're off the pole. No one wants your slime on themselves.
- Try and be at least a little bit polite. Say "please" and "thank-you" to other dancers if they do something kind - this is just part of being human.
- And finally - Don't reveal other dancer's details to clients, details no matter how small can help stalkers.
Don't rip the customers off >:(
