    Default stage

    i searched for threads on how to make good stage tips, but didn't find much. i understand that most of the money is in dances of course, but i can't get out of going on stage, and sometimes you can make a killing when you're up there at my club. for some reason, i'm just not doing well onstage and i don't know why. any tips on how to make some money up there? i don't do pole tricks unfortunately. i'm smiling ( or trying to remember to do so most of the time), making eye contact, and busting my ass being super energetic but maybe i'm being TOO energetic or something? all i know is that i'm sweating, dying, and aching by the time i get off, but don't have much to show for it while other girls have to get buckets to load all their cash into.

    You got a nice little ass now right? If your club is nude, get buck nekkid and shake that moneymaker.
    I get pretty decent stage money and I'm the most boring and lazy stripper you will ever meet.
    *jiggle jiggle* *bouncy * *flash pussy* is my routine.
    You have to play up your best features. Also gauge the crowd for musical selections. (Within reason. I'd rather drink turpentine and piss on a brushfire than dance to rap or dubstep)

    Interaction has always made me a million times more $$ than impressive tricks. I sit down and talk to each group a little and bust out a floor trick or two (I don't do pole anymore either) when it's time to get paid. If a group adores my trick, that's when I set up a "fund" for extended, more impressive tricks for the rest of my set. Tricks without interaction is impersonal, but when you interact it reads as special effort you're putting into entertaining those individuals. And if they don't tip much after this, then you know the stage is dead and can return to minimal effort.

    ETA: My floorwork mostly consists of booty tricks and splits. Can you do either of those? You can make even more this way than polework if you're any good.

    ^ i can do some booty tricks, and i'm trying to work on splits right now! what makes me the most tips is giving lots of individual attention, but we are not supposed to touch any of the customers or "hang off the stage at all" and it makes it hard when other girls get away with it without management noticing

    What do the girls who make buckets of cash at your club do on stage? Take some time to check out their moves and how they interact with stage-side patrons, and adapt that to your stage show. I work in a city where stage tips are super rare, but the few times that I've received them, I've been eye fucking the shit out of an individual customer, with a few coy smiles thrown in for good measure. I have a very lazy stage presence in that I move incredibly slowly and focus on sensual movements, rather than bouncing around energetically, so doing a 180 on that might also be a good idea. +1 on tempest's idea of aligning your music to the crowd too -- as a general rule, you often can't go wrong with rock, and techno/pop doesn't often appeal to the big spenders. Of course, your club may be totally different, so I really really recommend checking out your fellow dancers who make money on stage!

    i notice that going on right after a slightly unattractive girl guarantees much more revenue lol, and if you go after somebody with a bang'n body and great floor/pole work then its going to be harder to make as much. i always inwardly groan when i have to go up after the hottest girl at our club ( whose also an amazing dancer). it sounds insecure, but i'm not the only one whose noticed this at my club. it is what it is. the manager decides the stage line up at the beginning of the shift..i'm wondering if i could possibly tip the DJ switch me around.
    so, the girls who make a lot either have
    a) incredible maxim type bodies and just ooze fluid sexuality up there
    b) impressive stage work like hand stand booty shaking, pole work, splits, or getting extremely close and personal with the guys
    c)super perky, smiling like crazy, really know how to work the crowd.

    one of my downfalls is not being comfortable at all with female customers. right now i'm going to ease up on the energy a bit, smile a LOT more, work on being able to do the splits/more booty tricks, and "own" the stagemore. thank you for the replies guy!! you've helped a lot, if anybody else has any keep 'em coming, i really appreciate it

    I agree with what everyone is saying about eye contact and slow, sensual dancing. I love doing my pole tricks and will always do them, but that's definitely not what makes me the most money onstage. Occasionally I'll have someone start cheering and throwing me money for getting upside down and doing handstands, but that's usually the crowds of younger guys. And tempest is right, sometimes someone will throw money onstage just because they love the song and aren't even paying attention to the dancer.

    When a guy starts to tip you try and make a mental note of what you were doing and keep doing it or something similar. If you smile at them and they tip, keep smiling. If you flash your pussy, flash it again. If you were doing something slow and sensual, keep doing that. If you were upside down on the pole, get upside down again. And always try and look like you're having a great time and love being there not just when you're onstage but when you're working the crowd, because it definitely affects whether or not someone wants to tip you. I also think guys tend to tip girls that they've spoken to, so getting friendly with everyone can be a good move. And if someone turns you down, try and be upbeat about it and not get pissy cause you never know if you're going to be onstage later when they're on the tip rail.

    I miss working in clubs where people tip onstage.

    i hear you, girl! i haaaaate being on stage. i feel clumsy and like i just do the same moves over and over and over, and i know like three boring pole tricks. BUT i DO know how to work a crowd, and that's when i bank. if you can't touch: wink, blow kisses, point at one custy like "this one's for you!!" (definitely works if it's a wild weekend night crowd.) depending on the club and day of the week, they wanna feel like they're part of a party while you're on stage. i'm in an army town with young dudes so it may be different elsewhere, but they like music they can get wild too, eh hem "turnt up", while throwing their ones. intimacy is for lap dances, they wanna see a show!! if you can touch on stage, i'll playfully tousle their hair or give 'em a lil soft slap. if their friends are around, they love to see their buddy being a little dominated and put on the spot. sure you're up there to be sexy, but IME, they like to throw money on the girl who shows a fun side.

    I remember in NOLA I was shocked at how much stage money I got. I'm used to the tip walk up here. Of course I know why I got tipped in NOLA.

    this might be a stupid question, but what are dif. kinds of booty tricks you would do for a customer? like sitting down or kneeling right up close to them and clapping your ass or making each side bounce at dif. times? and then they put money up there and you're like sweet k thx! i'm so used to going to clubs where the standard is, 1. hold up money. 2. girl takes money 3. thanked w boobs all up in your face.

    you really have to be more creative if you can't touch anyone from the stage, and i feel like Atlanta is gunna be more about the creative booty s***

    ^ yeah pretty much. the kneeling booty shake, the laying on your back booty shake, the doggy style booty shake, one cheek at a time..one girl puts her legs on the guys shoulders booty shakes in their face, but if the manager catches you, you get yelled at. nothing something i'm willing to risk at this point.

    ^ haha that happened to me when i wore 9 inch heels! got called into the office, they thought i was hammered or fucked up on something.
    anyways, i been taking all your advice and doing much better!! i think i just get too shy and avoid eye contact too much. its like eye contact is so personal to me..i'd rather show my pussy to strangers than look them in the eye! lol.
    the past few shifts have been much better, been teaching myself some new tricks too

    crack jokes. works like a charm for me, anyway. esp if there's a group of guys, and one of them is the loud obnoxious male--pick on him a bit (in a sweet way). his friends will adore you for it and most often tip extra on top of what they may have already given you.

    also, if you note a shy, well behaved customer that you feel safe with (like, you know he'll behave), i sometimes like i put my legs over his shoulders and rub them on his cheeks a bit. that usually gets a lot of tips, too.

    I like to practice moves I've seen other dancers do that look sexy and the try them out on stage. Sometimes you can tell what the customers like by their facial reactions when doing certain moves then do more of that.

    I try to work stage 70% of my energy so I don't get too tired too fast.

    Don't wait for the guy to tip you just dance in front of him. Tons of eye contact. Pull you g-string to the side to suggest he puts more money in it. In my experience booty shaking gets more stage tips than slow sensual strip teases, even with old guys. Don't get me wrong - slow and sensual works sometimes to get VIPs but when I twerk like crazy I bank on stage.

    Pole tricks are pointless unless you're REALLY good and even then it's often under appreciated.

    And get naked for fucks sake lol! Some girls tend to think "giving away" too much on stage will kill their dances but for me I make more when I show it all. I just don't hump the customers like a rabbit on stage.

    Flexibility is a major plus.

    Don't be afraid to wave to/wink at/talk to/joke with customers at the tip rail or near the stage. I have a habit of beckoning guys sitting way back by blowing kisses and directing them my way as if they're the only ones in the world. I do this after I collect the majority of my tips from customers nearby, of course. I am a seriously outgoing gal on the stage... so I challenge the stand-offish custies by pointing and making eye contact, even pouting when they don't tip. Yeah... it's a bit cheesy but it does the trick.
