wow... i've only been dancing a week and a half, and i pack the stages. i can't do pole tricks, i don't do the booty clap or any other sort of weird thing, and i've got short hair and lots of tattoos-- not the standard stripper type.
are you dancing to music you like to listen to when you're relaxing? this is a HUGE drawback for me when i'm on stage. i've found that when i'm dancing to upbeat rock, hiphop, or techno, rather than the ethereal music i prefer at home, i do a lot better. i'm putting on a show, i'm a character, and genesis (my stage name) likes this sort of upbeat stuff. i dance a lot harder and bigger (if that makes sense) on stage than i do tableside... since i'm not right in the guys faces i need to make bigger moves and radiate ten times more confidence to get people there.
also, the most neglected part of a girl's stage performance that i see is her entrance. don't shuffle along to the stage and look shy waiting for the music to start. stalk on stage, extend those legs all the way from your hips, get your chin in the air, your chest up, and your shoulders back... and SMILE. the reason i think i make so much on stage is the first five seconds when i walk up there like i'm the absolute shit-- not because i'm the best dancer, cause i'm not.
also, make eye contact. don't watch yourself in the mirrors, watch the guys. if a guy is glancing at you, even for a second, he's going to give you money if you give him a reason. walk over to him and look him straight in the eye, smile, and dance like you're dancing just for him. but don't stay there forever-- if he doesn't tip you after 20 seconds or so, give him a coy little glance (if you can do a slight pout, even better), toss your head, and walk off toward the next guy. this drives them NUTS! (and i get two to five dollars most of the time from these guys... they want to make up for seeming to blow me off in the first place). its not necessary to do stuff like bend over and show 'em everything you've got-- let your expression tell them how you're totally into them.
again, i'm not an expert, yet, but i make forty dollars at least every time i go on stage, and almost all of my table dances are a result of guys trying to get me off stage-- i usually have five lined up before i ever get off stage.
also, your exit is important-- don't break the haughty confidence when you're putting your clothes back on... let people think you not only love being naked but that you know you're hot shit and they're going to have to fall over themselves to spend time with you.
