    Default other dancers-what name do you call them?!

    when your out with friends you work with, or talking about them to another dancer on the same terms,etc. which name do you use.

    their REAL name,
    or STAGE name??




    ive gotten into a habit of calling dancers their stage name almost 100% of the time, some dancers i CANT call them their real names cos it doesn seem right, and theres only one dancer i use her real name and not stage name.

    can you switch between names aesily depending on the situation?

    I always use their stage name unless everyone else uses their real name. I think it's kind of like calling your elders mr/mrs. whatever vs. their first name. If the dancer is a good friend and you are discussing her with her other good friend you can use the real name because there is no confusion about who exactly you are talking about.

    I find myself sometimes asking "who?" when a dancer's real name is said.. I guess it is a much bigger habbit to use their stage name, so that's what most people use.

    I tend to use their stage name also unless others with us are using her real name.

    I'll use their real name outside the club/in private/in the changing room and stage name on the floor/in front of other dancers who we don't feel comfortable discussing our real selves with.

    It depends on the situation. Sometimes I go back and forth. With my better friends, I occasionally slip up and call them their real names at work. Oops! And I have one friend who will straight yell my real name across the club. I just yell hers back to her!

    Real name outside of work unless there are customers around (like at the nearest diner) or unless specifically told not to call them by real name.

    My roommate and I both call each other by our stage names almost exclusivly. The only exception is when around our families. Both our moms know we dance but my mom hates my stage name (probably as much as I hate my real name!) so as a respect thing we switch back to given names.

    yeah, it definitely depends on the situation. Outside the club I will call them by their real name. At work, always stage name even in the dressing room. If I start switching real name with stage name at work, I'll get screwed up.

    depends on the situation, or what they prefer. I call all the girls at work by their stage names (even when not at work), with the exception of one friend who prefers to be called by her real name outside of the club. However, I've found that lots of friends from work end up calling me by my real name...maybe just cause it suits me better???


    there's beauty in the breakdown

    Just be very careful that you never call them their real name in front of a customer.

    but you also have to consider that some girls keep their work private too.
    so to call them by their stage name in public could raise some eyebrows.
    i have a girlfriend that she keeps her dancing a secret.

    often by their stage names. the only time i call them by their real name is outside the club, like when we go out for food.
