    Smiley Etiquette if a dancer gets you a dance?

    Hey. I've recently started working at a new club so I don't really have any regulars yet. Yesterday at work one of the other dancers called me over to sit with her and her customer. Once I sat down she told him to get a dance from me, he had 3 songs ($60.00). So now my question is, what am I supposed to do? Do I split the money with her? Return the favor (if I ever get any customers)? How do you handle that? Thanks!

    Keep the money and give her a thank you. Next time a guy wants a double dance or wants you to dance for another girl wtvr return the favor.

    Did he tip you? If so, split your tip with her. Thank her for the custy and return the favor the next time you get a chance. If he tipped but not much then depending on the $ you could give her the tip portion. Since he got more than 1 dance it would be appropriate to give her the tip and you keep the rest. It speaks volumes for you giving her the tip since she set up the dances, and she will likely repeat it if you do so.

    Id give her at least 10% on no tip. Maybe Im just nice and karma is great. $6 isn't a lot, but hey, gratitude is appreciated by anyone!

    I'd maybe even give her $10 to show that you really appreciated it. You have to remember, she probably could have done the dances herself, but she had the guy get them with you instead to help you out.

    Thank her . Keep her in mind. Return the favor later.

    I'd be offended if a dancer handed me 6 bucks!

    I'm not a pimp and we're all in the same business. I don't want your money. I want the customer's money, which is why I'd want her to say, "thank you, I will try to return the favor."

    I don't necessarily think he would have done dances with the other girl. There was obviously some motive for her, but her giving up dances that she could have gotten is about as likely as another dancer just handing you the $60.

    Not likely!

    I didnt mean to be offensive Emily!

    Maybe it sounds ok to me because our dances are $5...

    But if I were in your club, if I was giving money, Id give more than that...

    it's great because it sounds like you've got the beginnings of a tag team happening.

    just make sure you watch out for her too.

    Yeah if you would have gotten a tip, I would say to give her half or all of the tip, say thanks and mean it. And the next time a guy wants a double, or someone new she's the one you have to offer.

    I hate doing hot seats on stage, and everyone ( the vet girls) knows that, so when I get asked to do one, I politely decline and direct them to the girls that do them. These girls in return also direct me to guys that waht to do dances.

    To some of the new girls; yes I am a bitch; but to the girls I know and trust (as much as anyone else would anyway), I am a team player and I can and will work with the others.

    I try to make my money first, but I will help out my "girls" if they are having a bad night or need a little push in the patooy to get motivated, lol.

    Yep. I'm with this. A simple thank you will get a smile out of her, and be sure to get her back when you have the opportunity.

    I wish more dancers worked like this, by helping each other out instead of trying to sideswipe each other. It's probably true that the girl who helped you had already gotten dances or wasn't going to get dances, but if so, do you really care? It's still a nice gesture that she could have just as easily not extended. It's really better for everyone involved, including the customers and the management, when the dancers work together instead of against each other.

    In some professions referral fees are not uncommon. It would seem prudent to establish yourself as willing to pay a reasonable referral fee.

    If it's a bouncer, waitress, bartender, dj, housemom, hostess or doorgirl that gets me the dance I will tip 10% of what I make to them. If it's another entertainer I will offer 10% but if she refuses I will definately make a point to return the favor.

    I'd just tip her the next time she was on stage, and pass it on the next time/if the occaision ever arose. It really is not all that of an uncommen thing. She helped satisfy her customer, you got paid, it's not an everlasting devotion thing. Made your esteemed night, yes. It was 60, not 6000. Don't go overboard.
