I've seen some dancers asking about MySpace pages, and here are a few things to consider:
It is a great way to leave your schedule, pics, and anything else a customer might be interested in. And it leaves you in complete control of the information. It is one way to build interest.
It's a way you can respond back (in your own comments section) in a very controlled way.
You can decide your "status." Once dancer became instantly "married" when a guy got too interested. She was like, "check MySpace. I'm married!" Photos and everything. Cheeky girl.
It lets guys see other guys being interested in you! This cuts back on any thoughts of exclusivity. When ten guys post in the comments section about how they love her, it's hard to maintain that particular delusion.
!!!!!! Warnings !!!!!!
First, if you have a "civilian" MySpace, chances are it will get out. Somehow, they always do.
Your dancer MySpace is viewable. Those pictures are out there. This is risky if you are an undercover dancer. You can have your page "private," but that does diminish its usefulness, especially for those guys who don't want a dancer "friend" on their space!
Big warning---> Sometimes other dancers will be your friend! That's cool. Sometimes, though, they use their civilian MySpace. Now every guy has that dancer's photo and real name. Be careful with this one.
So to quick sum up: A useful tool for advertising and promotion (even when you switch clubs!) But use with caution.
