    Default Being tall + giving lapdances = awkward.

    I dunno if it's just me, but I'm 5'7 and wear 7 inch heels, making me 6'2. The chairs that custies sit in at the club I was working at only come up to about 3 inches below my knee. I noticed that a LOT of girls at the club I worked at were wearing short heels- I even saw some 4 1/2-5 inchers. The only girls who wore super tall heels seemed like they were 5'4 or under... I felt like I was the tallest girl there.

    It seems like it was way more awkward for me to give dances than other girls, because I had to bend over more, had to bend my knees more, and wasn't really at the ideal level for the customer visually, it was also intimidating for them when I would walk up, and I always had to squat down next to them to talk.

    For girls that give lapdances/table dances on the floor.....do you find it's harder to give a dance if you're wearing tall heels (7inch+) than shorter ones?? I felt so awkward giving dances there.

    Im 5'9 barefoot.. I wear 4 inch heels. I LOVE the 7 and 8 inch ones but im just way too tall in them and i find i feel awkward and look like an amazon in them.
    I suggest getting a pair of 4 or 5 inch heels to make you at a more comfortable level for lap and table dances.
    if you absolutely cannot part with your 7s use them for stage and change them for the floor.

    ah, the bane of my existence!

    are you allowed to take off your shoes?

    Otherwise I'll end up on my knees a lot or do the one knee on their side thing. We do floor dances in chairs I use the sides of the chairs told hold myself up whether I'm facing towards them or away. My triceps are getting pretty toned.

    But unfortunately at the end of the night, I have a really achey back.

    yeah-- i'm not at the club anymore, but i'll probably go back when i'm in town...i will definitely invest in some 5 inchers for next time. My triceps are especially sore from last night from holding myself up on the chairs. Emily- I did the one knee on the side of their leg thing too... it helps to get closer to their level. I think we probably COULD take off our shoes, but then i would feel fat and un-strippery, and it's really awkward and rushed getting dressed and undressed out on the floor surrounded by other dancers giving dances. I really hate the setup of the club there... the dances are not private at all and any one can watch your dance for free. I felt like I gave really shitty dances too

    I think low heels make me feel fat and unstrippery. (I'm laughing to myself right now at the idea that 5" heels are "low".)

    Anyway, the shoes coming off sucks for a few reasons and I really hate doing it, but the alternative means I hurt.

    but as long as the arch of the shoe is the same as the super tall shoes, your body should look the same... for example, if you wear 7 inch heels with a 3 inch platform, that's a 4 inch difference. If you wear 5 inch heels with a one inch platform, that's still a 4 inch difference.... or maybe it does make your body look different. It's been awhile since I've worn short heels... last time i wore them I was a newbie, and I graduated to 7 inchers two weeks in.

    I don't mean my body itself, I mean, I feel like it makes my legs look short and I feel tree trunkish. I'm 5'9" so I obviously have long legs, but I think my torso is disproportionately longer than my legs. I'm sure it's all in my head, but whatever. I love 6" min shoes.

    I work with a few girl who are abnormally short and I'm so jealous of them when they give table dances. When they're sitting, they're eye to eye with them standing up in heels. I'm only 5'7 and I feel like normal height + stripper heels = awkward dances for sitting people.

    yeah... it's not fair. Maybe someone should invent an ideal lapdance chair...with a rounded seat so you can put your knee on it and not crush custies's nuts, armrests that are big and padded so you can lean on them or swing them out to the side if you want to do a naughtier dance, and height appropriate, maybe even make it so the custie's feet don't hit the floor, that way they have less control over their bodies if they try to grab you.

    actually... a computer chair without wheels would actually be perfect, because they're padded with rounded seats and height adjustable. haha.

    When I wore 6 heels, I clocked many a guy in the face with the stiletto. I was also really wobbly and just never comfortable, even during a lapdance. Now I have a lot more freedom of movement and probably come across as more confident during dances.

    yeah... i hate dancing for super skinny/small framed guys.... unless they have lots of money. but for one dance.... it's not worth it in most circumstances, because I could probably get a dance from the big fat guy next to him.

    I'm nearly 5'10", and I know what you mean by possibly feeling awkward. When I first danced I felt too-tall. Fortunately, I had amazing role model-dancers to learn from when I first started dancing, and one taught me to stand tall and wear at least 6 in. platforms. Sometimes I wear 5", but don't feel very stripper-like with those. I've learned to promote my height, use dance moves that promote a more elegant look (also use clothing like garters, etc.). I notice shorter dancers can pull off the cute/fun look very easily, but height (carried well) can be very model-like and statuesque. Attitude is everything. The size of guys you're dancing for won't matter if you take the control and maximize what you've got. If the place or chairs are awkward when giving a dance, it's likely that it would be awkward still if you were a few inches shorter.

    I feel the same way with short shoes on. I feel "regular".

    Ugh yes yes and yes to what you all said. I'm 6' an I wear the regular ole 5" heels...and I feel like a giant. With really big boobs.

    I, like Emily, do lots of floor work on chair dances. Other wise I feel like the entire club is watching me do a dance. And little skinny guys? Yikes! I rarely approach them, but then they come and get me!!!

    what do you mean by floor work with lapdances? At the club i worked at, I don't think that would be possible, because most often you had a couple square feet to work with, if you were lucky. I could kneel/squat down in front of them, but that's the most I could do on the floor.

    ^I guess that's what I mean, I'll have one knee on the floor, or be kneeling in front of them. Otherwise I just feel silly.

    I used to hate taking my shoes off to give dances, but it's the norm around my club. It's soooo much nicer than trying to dance in tall heels. I'm always afraid I'll step on their feet or something. Our private dance cubbie holes aren't big enough for much movement.

    yeah, i'm the same height & shoe size as you so have to squat quite a bit while giving dances. i feel like a spider.

    at the same time i can do different things that accentuate the length of my legs like kicking my leg up high and over customers' heads then placing it on the rail above the back part of the bench. or standing on the bench, bending over, & leaning on the mirror so my booty is in their face, without the risk of actually touching it (kind of a downward dog yoga position move). & it's always amusing to watch their eyes zoom up to the sudden ass looming 6 inches above their head lol

    sometimes i work in my chucks, so i'll just wear those while dancing.

    I'm 5'11" & I wear 6-6.5... The first year I was totally awkward & probably goofy looking as all sin. But, then I just learned to become fluid ( I think that's the right term ). I just move around a bit... And learned to arch my back or do as Emily said one knee or both..

    I'm 5 ft 9 and wear 7 inchers on the floor but take them off for LDs. I make sure i always walk around on my tiptoes in there, and always point my toes to still have that leg lengthened look.
    the super skinny guys make me feel so much more awkward!!! But most of them seem thrilled to have a big lassie on their lap so I just go for it.

    I'm huge in my heels. I love it--it makes me stand out. It's never really been awkward for me, mainly in part because it's all I know. I keep my table dances really simple and I really don't mind if I stand out or people watch because, hey, that's advertisement!

    I know EXACTLY how you feel. I'm 5'8" and I actually almost burned my old club down because I was pretty wasted one night, and as I was giving a LD for a custy, I pushed the chair into a big fake plant that sat in the corner of one room (damn wheels) causing the plant to fall down over our table almost knocking down the candle.

    I'm just glad my current club has a 'LD area' with lots of benches for tall, crazy, clumsy dancers like myself. I always drag my customers over there for reasons like the above.

    I'm 5'8", wear 6" heels and occasionally have this problem in some clubs. Ones where they have couches low to the ground. I had to leave Seamless LV because the couches were so low I felt like my dances looked really awkward and I wasn't selling long strings of dances like normal. Regular chairs don't really bother me, but I do have to work harder physically than shorter girls.
