    Default Dancing in Small Spaces?

    Hi! I recently decided to make the switch from camming to stripping for various reasons, and got hired at the only club in my area. I can dance decently, the customers respect the "no-touching" rules, and overall I think I'll do alright there.

    The main issue is that it's kind of cramped. It's so small that when going up on stage, you can't do a split without kicking customers in the face if they're on the sides, and the rooms for the lap dances are more like cubbies, so much so that it's a tight fit for even just the dancer and customer to be in there together. Do any of you have advice for dancing in small places, and staying sexy while trying not to accidentally kick a customer in the teeth? :-\

    Move suuuuuper slow.

    Your dances are going to become less about actual dancing and more about being sensual. Stick to mostly posing on stage, and during dances focus on things like breathing on their neck, slowly running your fingers along whichever body part you are highlighting, etc.

    Thank you! I'm super nervous since I've never done well with slow dancing; my personality is high-energy so my dancing usually matches that, but I'll be sure to practice slower movements and have a friend watch to be sure I'm doing it right. Thanks again!

    I work at a small club where you can barely do a split on stage and any floorwork except rolling around a bit is a no go - the VIP rooms are small as fuck too, it's two chairs/benches facing each other and there's barely space to stand between them, so I totally know what you're talking about. It's super frustrating because I'd love to do more imaginative floorwork and lap dances, but there's only so much you can do with so little space.

    My go-tos on stage are pole tricks, because getting off the floor gives you some more room (and customers just love seeing a girl up on the pole, in my experience). You don't have to do anything super difficult, if you haven't yet I'd recommend taking a couple pole classes at a studio to learn basic climbs and spins and poses - you can use youtube tutorials, of course, but personally I really prefer having an instructor to spot me and give me feedback. So, simple activities on the pole + a bit of crawling on the stage are what I like to do on a small stage. When I run out of ideas, I tend to get on my knees on the stage, facing the audience, and do an up-down motion like riding a dick and run my hands on my body, like grab my tits and fake touch myself on top of my bottoms (half nude stage shows). Super simple, lets you rest for a bit, but guys seem to love it.

    In the vips I usually just end up grinding because let's face it, there's no room to do anything else! My routine usually goes turn your back to him, take your top off, bend over so he gets a good look of your ass, then squat down and grind for a while, then carefully turn around and caress your body a bit, maybe bend over and get your tits in his face, then straddle him again and grind - rinse and repeat. Another thing I do is bend over facing him so that my head rests on his thigh with my tush in the air - it's kind of hilarious how positive reactions I get for this "fake blowjob" One of the booths has more space so if the guy seems to be into it I'll kneel in front of him, run my hands along his legs and open my mouth like he was about to cum in it. I actually love this one because (again) it's simple, it lets you rest for a bit, and I've never got a bad reaction to it. If you aren't allowed to touch guys in vip you can just squeeze your tits or something while you do this. (If guys are allowed to jerk off in your vip booths this might be a bad idea. I'm comfortable doing this because they have to keep their pants on, I wouldn't be comfortable doing extras, but whatever works best for you)

    Technically our VIPs are full nude but I'll only take my bottoms off if the guy isn't a grabby douche, but if I do I usually just spread eagle on the adjacent chair or bend over so they get a good look of what they want lol. You'll come up with more moves the more VIPs you do.

    These are my small space tips, all in all I think the best thing to do is to focus on being sensual and move slowly like SuperJa said. Also be conscious of your facial expressions - slightly parted lips, smile, lick or bite your lips occassionally etc - they can make a space-restricted simple routine a lot more exciting!

    There are no studios where I live since it's such a rural area, so classes aren't an option sadly. I've never touched a pole in my life (I got hired on appearance, but I won't actually start working for two weeks) and most of the girls in the club don't seem use the pole much, but I could see if they'll let me get some practice at work when there aren't any customers. Maybe being the only one there who does pole work could make me stand out in a good way, but I worry because I'm the only black dancer there and I don't think I've seen any black customers in there either.

    We don't have a VIP room at our club which sucks ;-; We have the lap dance cubbies but they're honestly so small that you can't straddle even the smallest female customer because they're so narrow (which is a horrible design imo). They actually look like bathroom stalls and they only have a small sofa-like seat on one wall with nothing else in there. The guys aren't allowed to touch us or do anything weird in booths, but I haven't been around long enough to know if any of the other girls let them get away with stuff. I know personally I'm not okay with doing extras, but if the other girls do it I feel like I'll have to be careful what moves I do in case they think I'm giving them an invitation. But I love a lot of your suggestions, especially the ones that give me a chance to rest during dances, so thank you!

    I'll definitely have to practice your face suggestions because I'm actually really bad when it comes to my face. I have hooded lids, so when I try to part my lips in a sexy way I just look like I'm high and confused, and when I smile my eyes narrow so much they look closed. Then again I'm super critical of myself and my emotions are bouncing between nervousness and excitement, so I might just be overanalyzing everything. Thanks again for all your tips, and I'll definitely report back after my first few nights

    Where I work we're always allowed to practice on stage when no customers are in so I'm sure you could try out some stuff on the pole if you're interested in that! Just make sure to not take risks and also, never jump onto the pole - another thing to remember is when going to a spin don't build momentum to go forward, go for a circular movement! Here are some videos I think are helpful for beginners:
    Climbing the pole - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlVOKqRRnjE (even just climbing the pole like midway up and then opening your arms wide to your sides or caressing your body can look great and be a fun different thing to do on stage)
    Basic spins - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMPLXQNSFKY (some of those are intermediate but you'll figure them out as you try them lol)
    As a side note, not being interested in competitive pole dancing/acrobatics can be a good thing because I'm still having trouble focusing on being sexy on stage rather than athletic. I'm like, I should really do this inverted split grip knee hold spin, and then I realise the guys get more excited when I roll on stage touching my butt lol

    When it comes to vip... too small to even straddle? Man that really is tiny huh. Maybe learn some booty shakes, learn how to move your body smoothly and sensually like a snake - think the way samba and belly dancers move - come up with a variety of sexy moves you can do while standing. Different hip moves like rolls, shakes, 8's, U's, also upper body isolations... and just touching your body. Doing a sexy dance while standing in a small space is definitely a challenge but you can do it! Small space dancers unite

    Aaaahhhhh those videos are super helpful, thank you! The stage set-up is super weird to me. Like, we can't even roll on the stage because it's too small, so 99% of the girls just grind against the air or shake their butts since that's all they can really do with the space. I expected to see more pole work since there's not much room for floor work, but oddly enough only one of the girls really even gets on the pole at all. Maybe it's just weird to me because all the clubs I've looked up have a lot more room (but they're not in rural areas so I guess it makes sense for them to have room for lots of people).

    "learn how to move your body smoothly and sensually like a snake"
    Sorry but that made me imagine a snake with legs dancing in stripper heels and a bikini XD But I get what you're saying; I'll look on YouTube for belly dancing tutorials. I have a lot of practicing to do and I'm so excited! Thank you so much for your replies; it really helps knowing I have people to give me advice
