What do I do about language barriers!?!
I just started dancing and the club I'm at has predominately spanish speaking customers. I know it would be best to learn spanish. I know a little bit but I don't really have the time. Besides, the majority of conversations would probably use some slang spanish and not the proper spanish you would most likely learn from a class or a book. I can ask for a dance in spanish but then I don't really understand the reply unless it's a simple yes or no. Are there any tricks I can use to help cash in on the spanish only clients?????? /:O

OMG...I have the same concern....I am considering auditioning at a new Latin club in town. I have only spoken with one of the girls on the phone and I asked if I needed to know how to speak Spanish to dance there....she said I don't NEED to know it, but I SHOULD know a little....It would come in handy asking for dances. I'm feeling a little nervous though, I only know a little Spanish and that is what I learned in school, which is probably not what they will be speaking. One thing I suggest is if you don't understand what a response is, let them know that your Spanish isn't that great and ask in English. If you work with any dancers that know Spanish, or at least a little as far as asking for dances, ask if they will help you out with the slang.

Wow! this is great stuff! I have a lot of spanish only customers in my bar too, and the language barrier makes me nervous. You should produce a cd designed for stripper spanish. I use a lot of gesturing and show them my money to communicate how much a dance is and the like. I can speak in money denominations but that is about it.
Usually it is just "No hablo espanol" and "usted habla ingles?"

I love when they pull the "no speak English" crap on me. Then I switch to espanol. The look on their faces is PRICELESS!!! You'll see...
