How do you all maintain your levels of energy at work? I recently started working somewhere where all girls are scheduled on a shift that lasts 8 hours, 9 1/2 hours, or longer. Usually 15 girls are working at one time. We do lapdances, dance two songs on stage, and crawl around a really long bar. I'm used to working in a small club, where most of the money came from lapdances, and no crawling around a bar. Also, it was MUCH easier to get lapdances at the club, so not as much energy was used on trying to get guys to buy dances. (The reason I left was because of the high payout that did NOT depend on the number of dances you got; you had to pay around $100-$120, no matter if you did 30 dances, or NO dances at all. Many guys got a 3 dance minimum.) Also, at the other club, we worked a 6 hour shift, and I got into the habit of leaving early.
How do I maintain my energy? I drink plenty of water, I don't drink alcohol or smoke, I make sure to eat before work, and I bring 2 energy bars to work to eat throughout the night. What am I doing wrong? I've been dancing for 3 years, and I've never felt like this. It's frustrating because I know there's money on the floor, but I'm zoning out in the dressing room.
I'm guessing that it takes a great deal of energy out of me to be so upbeat to all of the customers. That, combined with having to speak louder so they can hear me over the music, drains me.
