    Default Floor Promos... Help!!

    At my club, when it gets busy, the Dj will run $5 frenzies. I hate them. We all have to get up and go to every single customer and ask for a $5 dance on the floor. This messes me up for 2 reasons: 1. the $5 dance songs last about a min to 1.5 mins. By the time you find someone who will get it, the time is almost up and they feel a little gipped. 2. I work in a rap club. I can't do the booty thing that most girls there do. There is no grinding on the floor, it's always fast rap playing durng the frenzies, and I have poor balance when doing a dance in my shoes (can't take them off unless you are upstairs in private dance booths). If I do get one, I look like I'm the stripper that came off the short bus having a siezure. I can't get another from anyone, especially if they have seen me poorly giving one to another custy. Then, they also think my regular lap dances blow, but I'm good once I can get them alone and take off my damn shoes.

    How the hell do I work around this?!?!? If you don't go around during the frenzies and ask, there is a fine. This is partly why I choose to work on slow weekdays because I cannot stand the frenzies, but when they run them and I'm there, it totally messes with my confidence and my money. HELP!

    I think you need to get shoes that are more stable, with a lower heel perhaps. Have you tried the kind with the flared heels instead of the stiletto heel? Really, it's important to be able to give dances with shoes on OR off.

    Also, those $5 frenzies sound awful! I'd hate to work at a club that ran those!

    I agree with winged... you definitely need to learn to give dances with shoes on. Practice wearing your shoes around or get lower ones with fat heels. some clubs dont even allow shoes to come off... and a lot of customers like seeing girls in the shoes so if you get these guys and take your shoes off you might be missing out on money.

    If its a fast rap song, you can still dance slow and sensual. Admittedly, fast rap is some of my least favorite lap dance music, but try moving to every 3rd beat and stay relaxed and sensual. just because you cant grind doesnt mean it cant be slow and sensual. I think if during this god awful frenzy as soon as you started dancing you started out slow and sexy with good eye contact and a sexy hair flip or something, then the guy would probably be hooked and want to keep going, especially since if you take your time it feels like you are just getting started and he will want to know whats next. You have 1.5 min, but that doesnt mean you need to cram a 3 minute dance in that time! as soon as you sell the dance, slow down and concentrate on being sexy. If that guy isnt hooked, im sure an onlooker will be!

    Read thru hustle hut to come up with a kickass line so you can very quickly sell the dance and have breathing time. Does your dj literally call them frenzies? I guess i can see it being hard to calm down and give a super sensual dance during something called a frenzy lol.

    as for the booty moves... practice in front of the mirror or ask a girl to help you learn them. if you are at a booty poppin club its probably good to pick up a few tricks while you are there.

    and most importantly... dont feel bad about leaving them feeling "gipped". its 5$ and you are worth wayyyy more than that !

    If you are not a hip hop girl...then there is also bound to be a customer who is not a hip/hop guy. Looking different, and being different from everyone else works to your advantage.

    During the freebies, look for the guy who is 1. alone and 2. is looking for someone. This is a situation where all you need is a one liner to close the sale. Don't waste your time talking. "you're ready for me now, aren't you" or "ive been waiting for your lap to be free all night" is all you need.

    Also, have the club instruct the dj to have the patrons hold the money over their head if they want a dance. At Christie's during dollar dances, they would just wave money through the air trying to get whoever to come over and take her top off. At those low prices they just want to see boobs...doesn't matter whose boobs....as long as they're boobs....

    Yeah, he really calls them frenzies.

    I've tried lower heels. The problem is that our customer chairs are so low that it's impossible to bend that low without doing some move like popping your ass. lol

    I have had girls try to teach me to pop my ass and such... I just struggle with it so much. haha. There's a part of me that wants to go to a more rock club, but there aren't really any clean ones around here, and I love how the management and owner treat us.

    I'm contemplating just walking around like I'm trying to sell them and just introduce myself to customers and walk on. That way, I don't get fined or have to pay $5 for the round of dances and I can start a rapport with some of the guys.

    I appreciate you girls taking the time to reply!

    At my old club, we used to have this special that they did every Friday and Saturday called the "Dollar Dance" AHHHHHHHH I used to hate it. But I made it work to my advantage. Even though we were dancing for dollars, I made sure that Ilooked for guys who were alone and thirsty for a dance. My cute one liner I used was " Hi I'm Mocha would you like to play with me? I would love to play with you. That's it
