Re: stage shows on slow days
That's the time when I really get into myself and my performance, and i'm not afraid to try something new. Then if I goof, i can laugh. I just dance for the sake of dancing at those times... and make sure that at least I"M THE ONE that enjoys it if no one else does. hope that helps.
Re: stage shows on slow days
Yep, that is all you can do. Dance for yourself, practice pole tricks. Don't just get up there and breath, it doesn't make anyone want to come to your stage any faster.

Make funny faces to some of the girls on other stages becuase I'm sure they are htinking the same thing you are
"Help, I'm bored"
Re: stage shows on slow days
All good tips, but there is a dancer at my club who is more proactive. She'll get up there and dance for a minute, then if no one comes to the tip rail, she'll hop off the side of the stage and grab someone. She'll smile and flirt while she drags them to the tip rail and pushes them into a seat, then climb back up onstage and dance for them. It gets them laughing and tipping more often than not.

Slwo time actually my chance to put on a Cabaret show. Then I'm not afraid to lip synch a little, I might even dance the robot for a few seconds. Attention for being weird is better than no attention at all.
