    Default anyone else actually LOVE going onstage?

    I hear it all the time on SW and (even more so!) in my club...girls complaining about having to go onstage, or bribing the DJ to take them out of rotation, or WISHING they could get away with bribing someone to stay out of rotation, and generally talking about how doing stage sets is a pain in the ass and they hate it.

    I can't imagine!

    Maybe it's because I'm a spotlight addict/theatre dork/diva/whatever you want to call it in real life too...I sing opera and do theatre and circus arts, and being onstage--whether i'm singing, flipping over a trapeze or climbing a pole--gives me the biggest high EVER. I love having a ton of eyes on me, with theatrical lights and costumes, showing off new pole tricks, feeling a huge burst of energy when I hear the opening bars of one of my favorite songs (and I tip the DJ's VERY well to make sure I get a steady stream of my favorite music all night...it's worth it to me! ) I just fucking LOVE performing onstage in any capacity and can't get enough of the stage-induced energy rush, and even after half a year of doing this, I still get excited when the DJ calls me to stand by for the main stage.

    If I'm trying to close a sale and I get called to stage, I've never had a problem telling a guy "oh, he just called me to get naked next! come watch me and then we'll play/come preview the goods first/watch me onstage first--it'll be our foreplay" or some variety of that, and I've never yet lost a custy jsut because I had to do stage first...usually if they really want a dance, waiting 7 minutes won't put them off.

    I guess it helps, too, that in our club, stage shows are a good way to sell dances--I always have a steady stream of custys after doing a stage set.

    Anyone else that actually likes the stage aspect of dancing?

    i used to, now at my new club they wear us out!! on busy nights we rotate through 3 stages, 2 songs each, or we'll do 2 stages for 3 songs each. 6 songs in a row gets tiring!! and there are wayyy less girls at my new club too so now that i'm up soo much i dont like it as much as i used to. i wish i did though i used to tell my dj to put me on the list as soon as i got there before i even got ready because i knew it would be a while before i got up there. lucky you! haha

    The only time I love it is when I get people screaming, going crazy, and throwing dollars up on the stage. If that's not happening, then I just do my performance, smile and get off the stage.

    I do, usually.

    Girls that don't like it are in clubs where it's not gratifying to be on stage. CH Too in Philly, for example. It sucks to go onstage there. Few tips, no room to dance, missing out on $$$. I never wanted to go onstage there.

    Everywhere else though, I'm a total stage-whore. I love it.

    maybe that's part of the reason I hate stage....btw, they made the stage bigger and it is more catwalkish with 3 poles. Still, few people tipping, only it's three girls at a time instead of one.

    That, and I'm a horrible stage dancer.

    I'm not that outgoing, stage always made me nervous. Plus, there's not much tipping going on in this area. We'd have to do 3 stages(4 on the weekends) 2 songs each. By the end of all that my make-up would be ruined, my hair flat and I'd be covered in sweat. All for a few measly bucks,--- meanwhile all the other girls are getting the customers and doing dances. Stage would be wasting most of an hour, most of my energy and if I get called up 2 times a night, thats nearly 2 hours of table dancing I've missed! No thanks! I've been paying to skip it for years.

    Hi five! That is the most fun I ever have on stage.

    The only other times I enjoy it is when I'm going up with other dancers or the DJ is playing a song I love. Other than that- meh.

    Perhaps if I could do pole tricks like some of the other dancers in my club I wouldn't mind. I just hate feeling like I'm doing the same thing over and over again.

    MOST of the time I love it. I've been a performer since I debuted at age 11 in a production of "Oliver!" (how's that for personal trivia?), but for me, that means I'm highly self-critical, and a total perfectionist. I almost always get butterflies before I go on, and I take my stage sets seriously - maybe too seriously, hee hee.

    There's no better feeling for me in the SC world than those times when a stage set rocks. It's hard to explain, because it's always a combination of factors that just flows together: good music, rocking the pole, seamless timing when collecting tips, no glitches removing pieces of clothing, smooth transitions, hitting accents in the music just right - and of course, the rail is full of ooh-ing and ahh-ing and applauding customers throwing money down. All that energy. SO great. Even getting lots of VIPs . . . well, I guess that feels good too, if I'm honest about it, but it's different. Performing well = exhilaration.

    On the other hand, there's no worse feeling for me than a stage set that sucks. Music that doesn't suit me, pole tricks gone horribly wrong, tangled clothes, a sparsely populated rail/packed rail full of obnoxious female customers upstaging me, a jerk that tweaks my nipple as I lean in to him - all that stuff feels even worse to me than a gropy lap dance. I also think it's a drag when there's few girls working and therefore my sets become harried and perfunctory. I'd rather have some build-up (and be able to have time to earn $$$ on the floor, too).

    I lament that I entered this business at a time when it's no longer possible (in most clubs) to make most of our earnings on stage. I would love it if that were still the case, and lap dances - with or without contact - were the extra icing on the cake. I actually think that way I'd be much friendlier and more relaxed about spending quality time with customers on the floor! That way they'd get the attention they are looking for in the club (which is certainly a fair enough reason to come in) without me feeling like I have no choice but to eventually start a sales pitch. *sigh* Ah well. That was a bit of a tangent . . . anyone else know what I mean?

    Anyway, the short answer is YES, when it's all coming together the way it should, I love the stage.

    I love going on stage, especially when all the seats are taken and there's even people standing up....throwing money...that's when it's an adrenalin rush for me.

    I also love being on stage. That is why I gravitate to bachelor parties, because it is like an hour long stage set.

    When being on stage is difficult is when the audience is just not paying attention, or sitting there silent and stoney faced. But I imagine any performer would feel horrible being faced with that kind of audience. Strippers are not booed off a stage like a band or comedian might be, but the silent treatment or being ignored is almost as bad. I mean, we're naked and beautiful and dancing our little hearts out, and most of the room would rather watch tv?!?

    But for and audience that actually is in the strip club to (can you imagine?) watch the strippers, that is a fun time. The stage is great fun if there is an audience willing to be entertained.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    i LOVE the stage even when people are sitting there stoney-faced and not tipping. i don't give a f***!!! i dance to really energetic stuff like prodigy and i love sliding down the pole and hitting the ground right when the music gets loud again and he goes "SMACK MY BITCH UP!!!" i love getting the timing right and when i can feel the music in my body. if my stage shows don't get the crowd pumped up, then i still got to practice and burn some calories! i even practice dancing to my fave tunes in my bedroom when i'm not working!!! the only time when i hate stage shows is at the end of the night when i've already done 3 sets or so (each set is 3 songs) cuz then my hair gets super messy and my body gets sweaty and the club is busy enough to score lots of lapdances so being on stage isn't beneficial. but i would never pay to not do stage shows!!!

    heh, i forget who said this, about wishing they'd gotten into stripping "back in the day" when you could rely on stage tips and the focus wasn't on lapdances....but i totally agree! I would love to work in a show club...but sadly it doesn't make economic sense anymore. (The bright side though, is that having to sell LD's is forcing me to become more extroverted, determined, and a better saleswoman...skills that will come in handy EVERYWHERE.)

    I get made fun of a lot in the club (affectionately, by the girls that like me...snottily and cattily by the ones that don't) for my offbeat costumes and music choices. (come to my club, and I'll be the one dancing to Spanish rock music in electric blue fishnets and elbow-length opera gloves)...but I regularly leave the stage with $40-50 in tips, too! so true that when you really love what you're doing onstage, it shows.

    I absolutely love the stage, for me it's the best part of the job. I get a little peeved when we have too few girls and have to go up every half hour, but that's rarely an issue.

    I'm a showoff though, so that might have something to do with it.
