    Ask before you touch another dancer. You never know if the person doesn't want to be touched, or at least doesn't want to be touched in a certain place/way. I have really sensitive tits and HATE when girls grab them. Be gentle and ASK FIRST.

    Clean up after yourself. If you finish your food/drink in the DR, put it in the bussing tray that's RIGHT THERE. Don't leave your shit spread all over the counter when you're done getting ready, other people need to use the space as well.

    ~Dont brag about your earnings-- modesty will take you far in this biz
    ~Keep yourself up- you'd think this would be a dumb one, but some people don't get it... Your appearance is your profit. Wear makeup, do your hair, cover your bruises (I hate seeing bruises on a dancer! ugh!), put care into your outfit and your look. It makes a difference.
    ~Be respectful of fellow dancers and be NICE. Guys pick up on this stuff as well, being bitchy will only hurt you in the end. No gossiping to customers, or telling them other girls personal info (or your own for that matter, these men AREN'T your friends)
    ~Customers are there to be entertained, do so! They are there for fun, not just to give us money. We are not entitled to it, treat them well and they will come back. Make them have fun, but not all about their penis...
    ~Its been said.. but oh yeah, don't be an ITC WHORE! It just ruins the business for all of us!
    ~Have fun and save your money! This can be a fun job if done right, not to mention life changing if invested properly...

    Ditto, unless you wrote the song or it's like your boyfriends band or something then anyone can dance to it. I hate when girls think they were the "first" one to dance to a certain song or the "first" to have a certain style. Reality check, most people are not as unique as they would like to believe...deal with it.

    How about, don't bring your SO to the club or invite him to the club, unless you are ready to see other girls try to hustle them (it's not their fault if they don't know, for all they know he is a dude and fair game). Obviously if I knew it was a dancer's bf I wouldn't hustle him.

    Well makes sense if you work in a smallish club (less than 25 dancers on a Sat night) and it's easy to remember who dances to what all the time, otherwise really I never pay attention to what anyone is dancing to nor do I have time to. I usually don't care if someone dances to my favorite songs. People who pay such close attention to little things like that are usually miserable anyways.

    Don't breathe too loud--that's the cardinal sin!

    Don't take up space at the mirror, just get ready in a stall (unless the top bitch needs to take a shit, then get ready in your locker)

    Don't make eye contact--with anyone.....ever

    Don't dance fast, but don't dance slow--and only to songs that you yourself have written and recorded, because Og forbid you dance to someone else's special song

    Don't be too aggressive, but make sure you hustle---just don't let anyone catch you

    Don't overcharge or undercharge, or do too much contact (or too little contact)

    And whatever you do.......NEVER expect any rules of the dancing world to be explained to you, you must intuitively grasp all of these things without ever being told-----or else the head bitch will piss in your dance bag! And not that you could ever forget this one, but always know just how much the other girls hate/resent that you dared to come into their club to work. Being a newbie is an UNFORGIVABLE sin!

    Had to address this one

    if its been a bad night and you can't for whatever reason pay what you usually do, make mention of it to the staff. Something like "its been a bad night and I am really sorry. I will take care of you though next time". Keep it between you and the staff though, don't share that type of info with other dancers.

    If its been a good night then throw in some extra for the staff. Even an extra $5 or $10 can make someone's day.

    I agree. Unless the girl has copyrights over a song, we have the choice to dance to whatever we like.

    Don't hog up the attention from guys at the tip rail the entire time you're on stage. If your club insists on having two girls on stage, be courteous enough to make all your tips during the first song. Let the other girl go to the guys at the tip rail during the next song.

    Close the damn stall door while you're using the toilet. Even though we're all women, we really don't want to open the restroom door and see you hoovering over the toilet while you pee!

    Don't step in front of the mirror while someone else is using it. Everyone is not intimidated by you. Its not difficult for the person you deliberately tried to block to step right back in front of you. There's plenty of room for you to stand to one side and still use the mirror. Plus there are plenty of other mirrors available.

    If you have a problem with a co-worker, confront her. Don't act like such an ignorant wimp by loudly talking shit about her while she's in the same room. You only make yourself look like the asshole.

    -Don't hustle my damn stage. It's one of the most annoying things a stripper can do. The majority of the girls at my club, including myself, will have a chat with you in the locker room.

    -Don't throw a fit if a guy doesn't want a dance from you. You may not be his type but there are girls working that might be. Pissing someone off most likely makes one of the girls loose money.

    -Don't expose your ass (bending over, shaking your butt in their face) until you check your underwear in the mirror. I see too many girls that bend over and you can totally see their butt hole on either side of their thong. GROSS!! My friends and I call it the "chocolate starfish". Haha

    -Don't offer dances that are cheaper than mine to a customer that I'm sitting with. Quality over quantity.

    -Don't be rude to our house mom. You will get hunted down by her or us. Trust me you will be breached or possibly jumped. I've seen it happen.

    -Don't come into the club and act like a bitch because you don't have an appropriate outfit on. Just change your damn clothes.

    -Don't ask to borrow my shoes.

    -Don't ask to borrow my underwear.

    -If I'm hustling someone, don't come up to the table and try to talk to me "because you're bored" or aren't making money.

    -Don't expect my customer to give you money because you're my friend.

    -Don't bitch about girls using your hair stuff if you leave it in the dressing room on the counter.

    -Don't talk crap on the floor.

    -Don't hustle a guy that I'm sitting with when I get on stage.

    I must rephrase this one. Do not borrow makeup/makeup brushes from ANYONE. Period. Person might not have any visible sores or cysts, but they still might be carrying many skin/eye infections. I'm a makeup artist by day and we've been taught all about infections and the importance of hygiene. Seeing ppl sharing makeup really grosses me out

    Also, refrain from borrowing shoes. Shoes are a very personal item. Everyone's feet are different. I've seen this happen many times - dancer borrows other dancer's shoes, stretches them and then the original owner of the shoes can't dance in them anymore. Oh, and don't borrow my shoes, break them and then just pop them back into my locker like nothing's happened. If you break something you've borrowed - fix it or replace it, or at least offer to do so and apologize.

    Agree, however, these are othe ways where is legitimate to say that a girl is really ruining your money:

    -Girls who talk trash about other girls to customers.
    -Girls who jump into a customer's lap while you're talking to him (and you prefer to seat next to him instead).
    -Girls who sit around the tip rail to talk/distract customers while other dancers are on stage.


    For me, these are big no-no when dancing. No matter how much you may hate another dancer, it is never acceptable to talk trash about them to customers. In the end, is worse for them.

    Don't assume just because I'm sitting at the rail that I'm taking your tips! When I sit at the rail, I'll make sure to talk you up to whoever I'm sitting with and encourage them to tip you, because it's the right thing to do. I've been yelled at for sitting at the stage when I was actually HELPING the girl up there make money.

    Don't steal my shit and then yell at me when I have to use yours because mine's gone. That won't drive me out of the club, it will only piss me off and make me hate you.

    Don't sell something you stole from someone else.

    I don't care if it was "in your way". Bitch, there is PLENTY of other seats and spots to sit in AND my shit is in a nice, neat little pile...UNDER the table.
    If I have my bag on the counter, it's because I was on dayshift, did an outfit change, and had a customer.
    DON'T FUCKING MOVE MY BAG!! and especially DON'T FUCKING THROW MY SHIT!!
    PLUS, you KNEW I was just chilling at the bar, come say, "hey, Avery, is it cool if I move your stuff over? Or..hey, Avery, can you just move your bag over?" It's one thing to just scoot my stuff over, but to fucking throw it!..fucking disrespectful bitches!! grrrr
    I will be polite at first, but if it happens again, I will go off.
    I'm EXTREMELY easy to get along with, I just don't appreciate anyone touching my stuff.

    -Don't talk my ear off like an old friend you haven't seen in years. I'm NOT your friend.
    -Don't treat the staff like crap (staff means Bartenders, Bouncers, DJs etc.) because you somehow think you're better than they are because you're a dancer. Those are the people you want on your side when your ass gets in trouble.
    -And (imo) the NUMBER ONE rule - DO NOT EVER TALK SHIT ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU WORK WITH TO THE FUCKING CUSTOMERS.

    Girls need to learn about hustling as a pair... I was sat with a guy in a group, new girl comes over and talks to another guy in the group. If all 4 of us start talking, go for a double dance hustle, don't get up and sit in between me and the guy I was with (!). Lol she sat there for about an hour and got no money though so lesson learned?
