    Default Stage Dancing Only?

    is it possible to be a stripper and do stage dances only, no lap dances? and is it possible to work in a topless club without taking ones top off, or wearing pasties? are there any chances of a club being okay with this? would it make the other dancers resentful or think im stuck up?(i definitely dont judge other women, this is just my preference). and is it possible to still make decent money this way?

    for reference, im looking to work in urban clubs in nyc, such as sues rendezvous, sin city, key club etc. i already know how to dance/twerk very well and im planning on learning pole dance so my stage dances would definitely be very good. im passionate about this type of dancing and want to work in a strip club instead of only in pole dance studios because i love the energy and vibes in strip clubs and i love entertaining people

    thanks!

    If you just want to stage dance and don't even want to get topless, let alone nude, working in a strip club really isn't for you. It's your prerogative to only dance on stage and forego doing lap dances, but you'll still be paying the same fee to work as the dancers selling lap dances and VIPs. Why not join a burlesque troupe or other performing group so you can continue entertaining people without having to deal with nudity and one-on-one customer interaction?

    You probably won't get on stage enough to have the opportunity to make money. I have no idea what the urban clubs are like in NYC, but at the clubs I've worked at, there are so many girls you only end up on stage at MOST twice a night unless you're paying the DJ to put you up.

    Sounds like you're trying to get into the wrong line of work.Working in a stripclub and & not getting topless or nude defeats the purpose of becoming a stripper(you don't even want to do pasties?

    Try a bikini bar if they have any up north? Or become maybe a dance fitness instructor or something not directly in the adult industry maybe? There's creative ways you can still entertain and have a good crowd in the vanilla world.It's obvious you're uncomfortable with doing things that are apart of the job in adult entertainment.It's not for everybody.

    no i would consider wearing pasties, i meant would wearing pasties instead of going completely topless be ok. i keep seeing videos of famous strippers dancing with thong bikinis on, but then again i guess thats just the part that makes it to youtube i guess maybe they take their tops off later.

    The only club I know of like that is V live (Houston & Dallas .. idk if it's somewhere else too). You keep your stuff on and just twerk on stage and all the girls split the stage money. That's pretty much what you're describing.

    You can make money in the urban clubs but you're going to have to take your top off eventually..

    Maybe look into go-go dancing? Would be a suggestion. If you want to make decent money in stripping, chances are you're gonna have to take off your top and do dances. Is it do-able? I'm sure. But is it going to hard to make money? Most likely.

    In my personal experience not in NYC. Stage money can be good there but not all the time. It's the luck of the draw.

    Like mentioned above, there are a lot of girls working in most NYC clubs so you most likely won't be onstage enough for it to be worth it. Lap dances and VIPs will be your only saving grace.

    It is going to be VERY hard for you to not take your clothes off in a strip club and still make money. My suggestion (like so many others have said here) is a bikini bar, or go-go dancing. Many customers who tip expect to see a little more, or see your "appreciation" for their tips.
