getting stuck w/ a bachelor party!!!!
Ok, so I recently did my first night on stage and had fun and did pretty good i think. yay! ;D However, my problem is that I got stuck with this large bachelor party b/c one of the waitresses was bringing them tons of girls, and we were doing dance after dance and chatting. I felt bad though b/c on stage a bunch of people asked me to come by and see them later and I even had two separate people actually approach me at the table with the customers and ask me to come dance for them. For those people I did b/c the party saw that I had been especially asked and they were like "Go". But I just dont know how to leave a large group like that and I also felt bad and felt like it looked bad to the customers who wanted me to come by their table and had tipped me to do so. So....how do u get around to all the people who are waiting for u????? and do so tastefully. Thanks! :)
p.s. I just want to share my happy little story that on my first night on stage i had someone throw like $20 in ones at me. Beginners luck?? hehe. I didnt expect that at all, I was a happy girl! ;D ;D ;D

Well, you can only dance for one guy at a time, so if one is keeping you busy, you'll unfortunately have to take a pass on the others. Try to hit them when you have gaps in your dances. But if you were constantly dancing, you were maximizing your money, and that's what you're there to do.
Besides, there are other dancers who can take up the slack--it's not like when you're out to dinner and your waiter strands you with a glass full of ice cubes and dirty appetizer plates. Another dancer will be around.

If they aren't keeping you dancing constantly just politely say "I owe someone a dance, I'll be right back". You then hustle for a bit and when you're slow you go back to them. This is what I always did and never had a problem with it, and was always welcomed back. Just because the waitress takes you over there doesn't mean you're "stuck" with them. You're there to make money not to please a bunch of guys who think that just because they're with a party they have to be surrounded by girls and not pay.

Being too busy is a happy problem. Just remember to keep collecting the cash and don't let any grass grow under your feet. I get really irritated now when a guy who asked me for a dance puts me off. I just move on, especially when we'er busy.
If several guys ask you for dances while you are on stage, let them know you have someone else waiting, but will be with them in a few minutes. If the first guy you dance for keeps you busy for a quite a while, then the other guys will find someone else. Usually the girls will come around, and the customer will get tired of waiting for you and dance with someone else.
The saying a "bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" comes to mind in these situations. If your party kept you busy, then you were making your money, and the others know to offer you more money next time for your attention.
