    Default How does stage rotation work at your club?

    At my club here in Atlanta, management recently changed how our stage rotation works. Before, it was loosely based on what order the girls came into the club. But more often, if you wanted to get on stage at a good time slot(usually after 1:30-2am) you had to tip the dj extra and be a top money maker at the club.

    The thing is, at my club on our busy nights we have lots of athletes, recording artists, high dollar hustlers and the like that come in and like to show off in front of their friends and you are very likely, if you are on stage during the late hours to make $300-$500(per person) on your stage set.

    A couple of weeks ago, the rule was changed and now you can no longer choose stage partners and the dj MUST put you up in the order that you came to work.

    I always arrive to work late (we don't get in trouble for it, you just have to pay a fine) and last night I didn't get on stage for the first time ever (because i came so late). I suppose the new rule is more fair to all the girls, I guess I j ust have to get used to coming in earlier! lol

    Anyway, just made me wonder what the normal procedure for stage rotation is at other clubs and is there a big fuss about it at other clubs like there is at mine?

    At my old club, there was no real stage rotation. Although the DJ had to get girls up on stage a minimum of 2-3 times on busy nights. I would always make sure I got up there at least 5 because I knew other girls wouldn't mind me taking their slot.

    I think it just depends on the club and the management. Every place is different. Although one of the others I went to, by tipping the DJ, you can get your sets extended for a little longer, get up on stage more times or even get a show stopping introduction over the mic.

    Since we have a VIP Lounge, the stage rotation is always going screwy. The DJ makes sure to get every girl up on the stage at least 2-3 times a night (if possible) but depending on how many girls that are there, it can be more or less. We have 3 stages, and on Friday and Saturday, the DJ will have you hit each stage at least once.

    we have two stages, and during dayshift, the list goes according to the order we come in... however, as more girls come in the later and later it gets, the DJ places girls in between those already on the list rather than going in the order we come in... that sucks for me because i work dayshift and i get used to going on stage after the same girl for 5 hrs. and three times i have messed up thinking it was my turn on stage! LoL... I thought I was really workin' it too and the DJ had to tell me it was the other girl's turn! So funny. But it happens to all of us.

    My stage rotation is like this, first warmup stage, second mainstage. You go up in the order you sign on with the dj. And you follow diferent girls as some leave during the course of your shift. Pretty easy except when it gets down to 6 girls during the day and your stuck on stage every 10 mins leaving you with no time to make your money.

    The stage rotation in the club which I worked for the longest was in the order the dancers arrived. House rules dictated that we greeted the DJ before entering the dressingroom.

    If we had 20+ dancers on shift the DJ could be bribed to stay off or switch rotation slots. He wouldn't do it if he had less than 20 dancers though for the sake of variety.

    We also had two little stages that were used some of time too depending on the crowd or lack thereof

    our stage rotation during the day is based on variety. our d.j. likes to have different kinds of girls up at all times. he rarely puts two blonds, and if there is enough girls of diff. ethnicity he likes to varry those too. that way each girl on stage is very diff. from the others they are dancing with.

    i think it's kinda neat how at some clubs (like mine) it's to your advantage to get on stage and you only make it on once a night (even w/ 3 or 4 girls going up on each stage set) and at other clubs it's a sort of disadvantage to your money to get on the stage, or that you go up several times a night. I guess every club is different in that respect.

    Ours is based on how you sign on with the DJ. Now, if you're doing a private dance and it's your turn to go up on stage-you're skipped. Depending on how many girls have gone through the rotation before you come out you may be skipped that entire rotation. (for instance, if I come out of the VIP only one girl after I was due to go on-I'll go up on stage. If I don't come out of the VIP until 4 or 5 girls have gone up, I'm skipped until the next round). There are some Fri/Sat nights that I get on stage only once during the night (which would be the first time of the night) and here, it's definitely an advantage to be doing VIPs rather than going on stage.

    There's no order to how you come in when you go up. I'm laways early and sometimes the last girl on stage for the shift. We have 5 three hour shifts with up to 12 girls per shift. I'll get a partnet for the shift and we do two songs on the main stage and on busy nights two on the satellite stage. If you are in VIP you get skipped in rotation but your partner will go up if she's not in VIP.

    Ours is in the order all of us arrive dressed and ready onto the floor. So, if you arrive at 5 and don't show up on the floor ready to go by 7, you get a fine.

    However, if there are alot of girls working, we can be skipped over if we request it, or sometimes, the manager will see someone spending a lot of money or if the customer is high profile and will radio to the DJ booth to remove whomever is sitting with him from rotation.

    My club is always the order that we came into work. Some nights, I'm lucky to get onstage at all!

    I work at a small club and we have 2 dj's that come in and out. One of them just puts the girls up as they come in the door, the other puts them up according to hieghth, weight, color of hair, and things like that. Sounds funny but we've never had any complaints!

    It's interesting. Atlanta is a market where stage time is worth money.
    Even if you don't get alot of tips on stage, you are more likely to get
    table side dances or VIP offers after being on stage. The customers literally can't see you if you're not on stage in the big clubs. You always get some tips on stage anywhere from $20 to $50 which makes it worth it.

    There are girls on this board from other areas who will pay to not get on stage while dancers in Atlanta are trying everything they can do to get maximum stage time. It's like free advertising even if you don't get hardly any tips.

    With ATF getting there at 6 p.m. to 7 was important. The night shift started showing up at 8 p.m. but from 6 to 8 you could get up at least once an hour on the big stage because the day shift girls are trying to leave to go home. After 10 p.m. you could get up on stage maybe once every two hours becuase of all the competition and extra dancers.

    As you know selling VIP rooms is the name of the game after table dances, and you got pulled from the stage rotation if you could
    sell a VIP room. When the time was up however, you went back on stage rotation.

    Tipping could sometimes change the order, but by a certain time the girls seemed to know the order. Stage assignments were by order of punch in to work and reporting time.

    LOL...management seems to have nothing to do with it. It is all DJ discretion. If the girls tip the DJ $40 a night, they get whatever they ask for. If they tip less, they get called to a third stage while giving dances in the VIP even though no customers were there.

    There were so many interuptions I gave up. I started tipping the DJ to take my dancer out of the rotation and prepaying the bouncer to get my girl out of mandatory stage appearances. (cattle calls) Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. LOL.

    at my club its pretty much the order you arrive in. we are on stage all the time but we are still new (just opened 3 weeks ago) so we only have 15 dancers even on Fri and Sat nights. we have no vip room so we can be "taken out". which means that we can leave the club for up to 2 hours, go anywhere do what we want. ive never been taken out but its 50 every half hour. but if youre in the middle of a private dance they let you finish, find a girl to take your place while youre getting dressed. we always go in the same order so nobody usually gets skipped. unlike last night we have clothing people come in and i spent 2 hours looking at all their stuff but still managed to make more than when i hustled all fri night. oh well.
