This has been getting on my nerves for awhile.... I need some advice on what to do about it.
From my perspective, the time you spend on stage is like a preview, and private dances are the actual movie. When I'm on stage- I DANCE, I put a lot of effort and energy into my performances and although I'm not super amazing at the pole- I spend 50 percent of my time on the pole, 25 percent dancing away from the pole in front of customers, and 25 percent 1 on 1 time with customers (if that). What I mean by 1 on 1 time w/ customers is when they give me a tip that is "worthy" (usually over 3 dollars, or tipping ones over and over again) I will go over to them, climb up on the stupid GLASS AND STEEL WITH BOLTS STICKING OUT OF IT tip rail, and lean over them with my boobs close to their face, or stick a dollar they give me in their shirt collar and lean in to fake-grab it with my teeth (i use my hand). Getting up on the tip rail and kneeling on it, crawling on it, using it in general is VERY painful and awkward.... a man totally designed it. It's about 3 feet up off the ground made of industrial looking metal with a glass counter on top of it with gaps in between where the metal is and bolts sticking out of it... it's the tip rail from hell. I hate the thing so much.
Anyways, the issue is...... a lot of girls at the club spend a TON of "1 on 1 time" with customers while they're on stage..... say 75 percent 1 on 1, 15 percent dancing in front of them, and 10 percent pole. It makes ME look bad that I'm not spending all my time jumping into their laps off the rail, leaning back onto their chests and squeezing my boobs in their face, doing handstands in the crotches, and literally sitting in their laps and giving them a mini private dance at the rack. I think it's completely inappropriate to do those things at the stage, and you can call me a prude or prissy or whatever.... but the stage is supposed to be the preview to the private dance, not the bootleg copy of the movie.... you know? These girls just give too much away for free... it's a fucking DOLLAR!!!
When I'm on stage with a girl who spends a lot of time at the rack ON the customers, I look bad because I'm not all up in their faces, squishing my boobs around their heads to get dollars. I'd rather dance to the music on the pole, do a quick dance in front of them, put tips in g-string, move to next customer- I make more money that way.
IDK. It's just really perturbing the attitude I get from customers at the stage when they just sit there with a dollar in their teeth or sticking out of their pants expecting me to do some crazy sluttastic move in their lap for a fucking dollar.
It's not my place to tell the other girls what not to do on stage, but it would be better for everyone's money if they limited certain "moves" and levels of contact strictly to private dances. Guys aren't going to buy a private dance if they can get exactly the same thing on stage for a couple dollars.
I talked to the manager and asked him to have a meeting and he still hasn't gotten around to scheduling one. Maybe I'm just an uptight prude.... i danced the majority of my career thus far in portland where there is supposed to be NO contact between dancers and customers on stage aside from putting dollars in our garters or g strings.
