    Default hustling etiquette

    so the club i work at doesnt get very busy. last week was going terrible--i only made $30 on thursday, and $110 on friday. saturday we were a little busier but only slightly. i felt the need to step up my game a bit, and try and more actively hustle. im somewhat new to all of this, but one of the older dancers there complained about the fact that i was trying to hustle when there were only six customers (who werent all together) sitting at the stage. she feels that when there are only a few customers, that the dancers should try and get guys to buy dances through their stage performance--not by hustling. now i wasnt hustling ALL of them. maybe only one or two--or whoever seemed interested in me. but she thought it was rude. i thought i was just doing my job. apparently i had violated some type of unspoken stripper law.

    now i can kindof understand what she means--if there are only two or three guys sitting at the stage, and they arent paying attention to the dancer who is actually on stage dancing, it can seem a little rude, and hustling isnt necessary. but personally, i think six customers is enough to hustle..especially considering 15 customers would practically mean a full stage. i just think its unrealistic to assume that youd be able to enchant all six guys to get dances during one 4 minute song while on stage.

    anyone have any thoughts on this? is there any other stripper vs stripper hustling etiquette i need to know?

    I wouldn't even sit up at the stage with a guy, or talk to him while he was at the rack. I'd ask him to drop her a $5 and come talk to you at a table or come get a dance. Girls at my club get super pissed about that, and it is somewhat distracting to have competition sitting at your rack talking to a guy that you want to try and get a dance from.

    It is very rude to sit with a guy at the tip rail, unless he invited you to join him there, in which case you should also be tipping the girl on stage, not just sitting there taking away from her attention. Usually if a guy wants a dance with you, then he will let you know, but if he's sitting at the stage, then he's probably interested in the girl on stage, and you should leave him alone and let the girl make her money.

    Is it ok to sit with/ and hustle a guy at a table away from the stage while another girl is on stage? I am glad to know about the tip rail though because I never would've known.

    You can sit with guys anywhere except at the stage. I think the only exception is if the guy is already talking to another dancer- then it would be rude to interrupt them. But if a guy isn't sitting at the stage, then he is free for the taking. I think in most clubs there is always a girl on stage, so it would be impossible to hustle and sell lap dances to guys sitting at tables if you couldn't do it while a girl was on stage. As long as you stay away from the guys at the stage, you should be fine.

    I certainly hope so, because if it isn't dancers everywhere are in a really bad pickle.


    But seriously, aside from being tacky (and while there are clubs where this etiquette doesn't apply), customers seated stageside generally have their attention focused on the girl on stage because:

    1. They like that particular girl and sat up there specifically to watch her dance, and usually return to a table when she's finished.
    2. They sat up there because tipping the stage is about the biggest thrill they can afford as they don't have enough money for dances. (You think about it, this is true even if they aren't tipping the stage).

    In short, the guys seated at the rail are usually not big money prospects. When they do sit there its because the club is crowded and they have no place else to sit, or because they aren't aware of the "no trolling the stage" rules that a lot of clubs make their dancers adhere to. Usually guys intent on buying dances will sit at the tables where you're free to hustle away.

    there are no tables. just a stage with chairs around it. at my club, you cant hustle without sitting at the stage. i always make sure the guy im with pays attention to the girl dancing, i'll even interrupt the conversation to say, "hey! watch HER.." or give her a dollar myself.

    I've worked at a couple clubs like that (just stage seating). I say as long as there's more than a couple customers at the stage, hustle away. But if you take a guy away from the stage, have him throw some extra dollars up on stage as you go.

    I know a club like that. I went there as a customer and the dancers weren't allowed to talk to us while there was a girl on stage. Very weird. Granted, they played a few songs in between their sets, but I would think it would be hard to have your hustle interrupted continuously.
    Most clubs are not like this, however. It is perfectly acceptable to hustle while there is a girl on stage. If you can get the guys to tip the girl on stage, it gets them in more of a 'money spending mood' and you can use that to your advantage. Get them interested in YOUR stage show, or your 'VIP' perfomances.

    I would be so screwed in this club! But maybe it's because I have never been to a club that works this way, as a customer or a dancer. Where is this club you are working at anyway?

    Well, I occasionally try the guys sitting at stage at my club if it's slow...but people don't tip girls on stage here. Stage sitters get a free show like everyone else, just an up close one. And they usually sit there the whole time, so it's not for one particular girl that they go up there. I usually don't waste time, but I'll crouch beside them and give a thirty second mini hustle. It sometimes works. And no one seems to care- many girls do that.

    But like I said, stage tips don't happen here, so I assume that makes it un-tacky? I never questioned it before.

    its called Teasers. its about an hour north of pittsburgh, an almost kindof hole-in-the-wall type place. the girls there can make pretty decent money when its busy..only it hasnt been busy for awhile. blah.

    yes its important to get the guy to focus his attention to the girl on stage if thats where he has chosen to sit, its not a good look to intervine .. in my club we are quite supportive in situations like that, not everyone but the few that have been there for a while and know the ropes pretty well.. u can make alot more from the guys at the tables, i find that they are the real big spenders, most of the guys around the stage have only got enough to throw a couple of notes on the stage.. they are there to gloat not spend! so ur not really doing anyone any favours.. u may aswell let the girl on stage make her money
    I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the total opposite

    i have a question about asking guys who watched u dance on stage for private dance. i have heard other girls just casually ask "can i get u a lap dance?" while they are getting off stage. i have asked afterwards too and sometimes guys say yes. other dancers at my club who know i have i hard time asking for dances said i should ask every guy who watches me on stage for dances. about half guys say yes. am i not supposed to ask until later after my stage set? or is it even ok to ask a guy if he wants a lap dance mid stage set if he is only one at rack??? what etiquette rules am i breaking?

    It's perfectly fine to hustle guys at the stage if you're the one on stage. Guy comes up, you give him a little show, & as he's giving you a couple bucks shoot him a cute line or two abt getting dances w/ you once you're done w/ your set. The fact that he's up there tipping you is indication enough that he's interested in you; nvr let the opportunity pass you by to capitalise on that interest.

    Hmmm weird. At my club guys sitting at the stage are perfect targets for dances. No one usually cares if girls go up to guys and talk to them while they're sitting at the stage, and usually we take their money put it in our dress, and have the girl on stage take it from us...make a little show out of it. That way everyone wins. My club is a very laid back and friendly gown club as well so that could be why...
