    Default courtesy

    Are there any big no no's in dancing? I really don't want to get on the other girls' bad sides. I have noticed a lot of tension between some of the girls and I don't need that shit. I don't want to step on anyone's toes and end up being shunned by the lot of them. I guess I'm just asking for a quick lesson in stripper ettiquet(sp)

    Ahm, for one, if you see a girl that has a regular, dont go up and try to steal him right out from under her nose. Now on the other hand, if he asks YOU for a dance or to sit and talk, thats another story. To me, girls' regulars are complete no-no's. I also think that if you are polite to them they will be polite to you. If you are with a group of guys and they want to do a VIP, and they need a couple of other girls but don't know which ones they want, let them know you could go grab a couple, then pick the girls who seem friendly, nice, fun to be around with. The last thing you need is to pick a girl for them who is sulky and doesnt want to be there. Most of the time when you do this, the other girls return the favor if they are in the same situation you are. But remember, you arent there to make friends and be buddies. You are there to WORK.

    Well RetiredDancer seemed to cover the issue of regulars fairly well so.....

    Some other big No No's:

    - Never wear baby oil! It will slick up the stage and/or pole and could get someone injured

    - If you work in a club with a tip rail, then don't pull guys away from the stage for dances when someone else is on stage. If you do pull a guy from the tip rail, then at least get him to trow a tip to the dancer on stage before leaving the rail.

    - Don't do things which will get you labeled as an "extras" girl

    - Don't gossip about other dancers, especially to customers. (Some customers may ask you for information about another dancer, that she didn't want him to have.)

    - Don't date the other club staff

    - Don't talk about your money - good or bad, just keep it to yourself

    - Don't just "borrow" stuff in the dressing room, always ask first. If you do borrow, don't forget to return.

    -Just DON'T randomly approach guys sitting stage side. PERIOD. If you are invited, either make sure you get money from them to tip the gal on stage, or let them know that you cannot approach customers sitting stage side. The only reason I break this rule is if I was last on stage and a customer asks me for a dance as I am picking up my tips. Just use common sense.

    -If a customer asks about another dancer, keep it vague. EX: "She's really a sweet lady." And if you don't have anything nice to say, keep it to yourself. Say something like, "Oh, I don't know her very well..."

    -Get your own damn shit. Period. Don't ask the other girls (with the exception of your friends) if you can borrow their outfits.

    -don't go hustle, flirt with, whisper to, whatever, a customer if another dancer is there working him, unless you wanted to ask her something quick or unless he is a regular you know. it looks rude and desperate and closes a sale for no one.

    -don't sit alone in the dressing room. you don't want to seem like the perpetrator of tension.

    -if no one is tipping, tip one of the dancers on stage now and then.

    Better yet, ask the customer you are sitting with for money to tip the lady on stage. This way, you're not spending your money AND you're encouraging the customers to tip!

    Don't swoop in and close a deal with a customer that was just being hit on by the girl that got called on stage. Major pet peeve. You've spent time and effort getting a guy used to the idea of heading to the vip and then get called up and the next song, there is another girl getting your dance! Drives me nuts!

    I say just keep to yourself, don't worry about what the other dancers think, like another poster said, you're there to make money, not friends. Don't do anything you wouldn't want someone else to do to you. It's mostly common sense. I disagree with a few of the "don'ts" posted above. Get a feel for the club you're at, in some clubs the girls are less possesive of the customers than others. And in some clubs, the girls are bitchier and more competitive than at others. Don't try to hard to be accepted. There will always be at least one girl who doesn't like you for whatever stupid reason. Fuck 'em. Some will say, don't dance to another girl's song. That's bullshit, unless she wrote it, it's not "her" song. And some will say, don't use another girl's moves. More bullshit. Unless it's an obvious signature move, most of the things we do are the same tired moves with a little personal twist. Good luck, and don't worry!
