I have been a dj in this industry for 16 years across the country. One of my main problems is an empty stage. Now; this is not always the dancers fault, though some girls I have met are lazy and try to hide from stage. That is not my main concern. What really chaps my butt is, for example: I call a dancer 2 songs away form said stage. Then I call a dancer 1 song away. Then I introduce an entertainer to stage and she is nowhere to be found. 30 seconds into the first song, I am told she is in the champagne room. Now I have to find a girl to cover the stage, pulling the next girl away from a customer she may be talking to or making money from. The manager or floorman did not tell me the girl was to be skipped this rotaion so I could cover it in time.
Meanwhile there is a room full of guys looking or cussing at me saying "Where's the girl?!" It is not fair to me (the dj) ,the customers, or especially the girl I had to call away from her customer to the stage. Also it is not fair to the girls in the champagne room. This has made them look lazy for not going on stage. The floorman or manager should have let me know. 98 percent of the time it is not the fault of the girls in the champagne room. I want the girls in there, rather than on stage cause the real money is in Private dance. I feel being on stage is vauable to present yourself to potential customers, But of course Stage is advertisement for those dances; not your main source of money for the night. That is why when you are on stage you should throw down as though you are a feature. It only helps your chances of finding those customers.
My point is, this is not only costing me money, but the girls, and the club. Lets also remember how short the attetion span a customer has. 30 seconds of a blank stage is enough for them to get up; refresh thier drink; and on the way to the bar, decide to leave.
This something that is bugging the shit out of me. what do you guys think?
(On the flip side; I do NOT understand why a manager makes me have a girl onstage when theres nobody in the club. I understand the reason to have a girl on stage when a guy walks in,but its not like the girls aren't able to just jump up there when I see the guy and I start a set. I mean, comeon.)
