Look, there's no need to argue about which hustle approach is better. As GoldCoastGirl stated, the customers are watching you on the floor as you hustle, and you better believe the way you handle yourself on the floor sells just as much as stagework. I am no newbie and somehow, despite not going on stage, I manage to sell dances all night long, from start to finish, without going on stage. Most of the time to guys who are asking me for dances. The way I see it putting too much emphasis on stage is inefficient, and when the counts are done at the end of the night I'll have more dances sold than the girls who always go on stage cuz I wasn't wasting those 4 songs every hour or so. Stage is NOT the only way, or the most efficient way, to sell a dance.
But to get back on topic and address your concerns about distracting guys at stage, I disagree that it's a problem to work guys at stage. Guys will choose who they want dances from based on a number of criteria, and MANY of them place less value on stagework and more on how a girl behaves on the floor. Second, if a guy is really that interested in getting dances from a certain girl he will wait for her and nothing another girl does will change his mind. Finally, guys at the stage aren't necessarily there JUST for the girl on stage. Sometimes there's no other place for them to sit, sometimes they just like sitting stageside until they find someone they want dances with (whether he found her on stage or not), and sometimes they are just stage gawkers who don't buy dances. For these reasons, I don't see the sense in any girl getting so possessive about the stage and who's sitting next to it. Perhaps if your only method of selling dances if from the stage you should bone up on the hustle skills so you can relax about the stage and sell dances both on AND off.
