Saw an interesting approach this weekend and figured I would share....
I was sitting in club this past Sat. afternoon; it was fairly quiet due to the holiday weekend. Since my favorite dancer wasn't working that day my visit didn't last very long; however, did a little more people watching than normal.
There were probably 12 dancers and about 10 customers. A couple of the guys were sitting with dancers, so only about 5-7 customers were really approachable.
Anyway, I watched one dancer casually make her way around to each of the customers. Eventually she made her way over to where I was seated. She introduced herself, tried to start a conversation, and I politely mentioned that I normally came into see another dancer. She informed me that my fav. wasn't there, and offered to be her replacement. After I politely declined we continued to have a brief conversation then she excused herself to go work the rest of the floor. However, before she left, she let me know she was going to be up on stage soon, and it would be great if I came up to see her. I replied, "ok" and she responded, "Great, I'll meet you up there."
The next customer she approached happened to be sitting fairly close to me. Again she struck out on the dance offer, but made a similar pitch for him to visit her up on stage.
Eventually when her set was called, she was one of three dancers up on stage, but was the only one who had a line guys waiting for her on that slow afternoon. One after another several of the guys she approached earlier went up to visit her on stage and give her a tip. Then, after her set was done, I noticed three of the guys who declined a dance earlier approached her for one after her set.
So do you guys do this as well? The only times I've been really asked by a dancer to come visit during her set is if I'm sitting with her when her set is called. This was the only time I could remember a dancer using this approach as just part of her normal routine and making the push even after getting declined for a dance.
Anyway, I thought it was a cool approach.
