    Default Is this a "normal" stage dance..?

    So, I got hired for my first club today working nights (woo!), but while I was waiting for the manager, I saw two girls on stage and their moves kind of confused me. They basically did the same things throughout: swinging their hips around, not really getting on the pole, three song sets, it all seemed pretty basic. But then when a guy approached them (it was really slow so they were giving them one-on-one attention), they'd get down on all fours, back into their faces, and bounce their butts about two or three inches from the guy's nose. They'd then switch positions (they basically looked like they were crab walking) and get the guys' faces between their thighs and as close to their vaginas as possible and start thrusting.

    This is obviously the norm for those two dancers, but is it a typical scenario? It seems putting your crotch that close to a guy's mouth is inviting an issue, plus they only got a couple of dollars each for it. I don't really know anything about the club so I'm kind of wondering what I should expect during lap dances if that's the normal stage dance...

    No, nothing strange with this picture. However, this is more characteristic of smaller, dive-ish clubs.

    I really don't think there is such thing as a typical stage dance....

    Some girls do some things that may seem more vulgar then others...but that doesn't mean you have to do it. Don't worry so much about what others are doing...just take from them the moves you like and ignore the rest.

    And when I mean vulgar...I mean they may do things that may seem innapropriate or vulgar TO YOU. Everyone has different comfort levels.

    I see nothing uncommon about this. If a girl wasn't rubbing boobs in the guy's face for the stage tip, she was doing one of these two things in my old club. Sometimes a combo or all 3 for multiple tips. All clubs are different.There's no such thing as a "normal" stage dance, and this is the norm in some places. If you don't want to do the same, don't. It's up to you.

    This is just one of the few styles of dancing. I have noticed that a lot of girls who dance like that actually have zero dancing skills. Sometimes they shock me and bust out a cute set every once in a while. It seems like you weren't in to it! Try whatever style you had in your head. As long as it doesn't mimic X-Tina, please.

    No offense meant to anyone who does it; I just don't think it's something I'd want to do on stage. I only saw those two dancers so hopefully I'll figure out the environment a bit better when I go back for my first full shift. It was the first club I tried, so if it's not my style, I guess there are plenty more to look into...

    Depending on the club your not going to make stage tips if you just pole dance. So you may want to lower your standards,live with it, or find another club.

    True. If a guy comes to stage, in some places, you really have to give him some sort of attention if he's going to tip you. At least, that's how it was in my club. Some would walk up and leave the money - but most would wait for "something." If you didn't get to them, they would walk away. But we also had a tip-walk after, so the guys who actually got off their butts to come to the stage got a little more. Even if you don't want to stick your crotch in a guy's face, you can always just do a little floor work in front of him, while smiling sexily, and then hold out your garter for a tip. It may work there, it may not, depending on what that club's customers are used to. You could make it work for you, or you could try to find another club. Personally, bouncing my ass in someone's face never made me uncomfortable, and boobs-in-face was just par for the course in my club (we were topless only). I rarely did the crotch thing unless someone asked for it. And the one time a guy decided it would be funny to blow on my crotch, I told him to stop, and he didn't, I "accidentally" kicked him in the side of the face with my shoe. I really don't think if you don't want to put your crotch near someone's face that your money will suffer. It's not uncommon but it's also not uncommon for a lot to not do it, even if others in the club do.

    Not necessarily. I have not done that and I worked in a dive my first 2 months I started dancing. Dancing with my own style to this very day makes it easier to make the 'right' customers notice me on stage and look or me when I'm done. By right I mean the type that I know how to hustle.

    This can be true, but there is room for compromise. In NOLA, most of the dancers stage dive and are more than willing to do the ass/pussy in face thing on stage. I'm not comfortable with that - I don't want to give these guys an extra opportunity to assault me and then claim that I was "asking for it", but if I just pole danced the whole time I'd never make money on stage. I'm comfortable with doing the boobs-in-face thing, so when I get a good tipper I do that. Or, you can do some floor work in front of the tipper, but far enough away so that he can't stick out his tongue and touch you with it. They always seem happy enough - I've never had someone get mad because I didn't hump his face for $1, and even if he did get mad- oh fucking well.

    Basically, I'm trying to say that she can still compete with other dancers at that club w/o doing something that makes her extremely uncomfortable. It's totally possible to find a level of compromise where she can keep her integrity AND make money.

    I've known guys who throw a lot of money to girls that look they're on a yoga, pilates, or gymnastic class (my bf is that kind of guy; we once went to a club as a couple, and the girls he tipped the most were the ones who didn't know they were in a club and not at the gym; I got actual lapdances, though).

    Gosh, if I wanted to make money doing those things, I'd become an instructor of those disciplines instead!!!

    In the end, we all dance differently. We cannot be all the same, but doing it sensually and actually go go dancing (whether with a pole, floor moves or booty pops) is better than doing gym antics in little/no clothes with high heels.

    Well clearly you all chose to live with it, like I said three options. Anyways if every girl in the club does something to the dude and you don't it's inevitable. Now you can sacrifice dignity or live with the lowered tips. That's simply a fact of life its not good or bad just simple I'm not going to spend money on that single girl unless she's a fantastic dancer which not everyone is.

    I don't think you have to compromise anything. I'm one of the few girls I've noticed that can't bounce or pop shit, I practice for my own amusement but I suck and it's not my thing. Therefore I live with the spread eagle shots in the guys faces etc. Stop comparing yourself and your comfort level already, and when you start don't spend most of your night watching girls on stage, walk around and get to know the crowd.
    I'm here to make money. NOT make friends, if I make a friend then it's a bonus.

    I'd rather be absolutely ridiculous that absolutely boring

    Pretty much this is how you have to dance at my club because our stage is a runway. You don't have to get that close though but being a long narrow runway you are more or less posing most the time. Ive worked in clubs with a round stage and you could do a lot more traditional-pole dancing however the club with the round stage max I prob made ever on a stage was 100 with the average being 20-30. Whereas at this club where you are very close to customers Ive made $600 on my best stage and average $60-80 (on busy nights). So although it feels a little stupid and trashy its more lucrative in my experience.

    I did a lot of "research," AKA watching the YouTube videos recommended on this forum for floor, and found a lot of moves similar to what the girls all seemed to be doing but weren't quite as "Hey, this is my vagina, let me grind it on your nose/right in reach of your tongue." My main concern wasn't how "trashy" it looks, but more so that I didn't see any bouncers around at the time and I, as Natalllia, don't want to give someone an easy opportunity to assault me.

    If any other new dancers are having trouble trying to find their style, I really recommend searching this forum for "floor work" and checking out the links many other dancers have provided. There are a lot of sensual and very sexy moves that I wouldn't have thought of or probably seen at my club. I'm extremely glad I have them now.
