So it's recently come to my attention that a pep talk may be necessary for some of us to get ready and psyched up to work, is it that way for you? Or can you just walk in to work and put on your sexiness like *snaps fingers* that?

Love it!





At the beginning of the night I always feel discouraged since the night could go either way -so I text one or two friends that I'm feeling nervous or need a boost and they'll write me back a little somefink that inspires me to get my butt goin.




I usually need to do one stage set before I can hit the floor. It's easier for me to see up high who's out there, what they're doing, who's paying attention to me and the stage, who's spending money and who's not interested-like the guys that are really close together talking amongst themselves deep in some conversation-like it's some big, classified business deal!
Anyway, I don't need a pep talk but I do need to go on stage for a set before I can really work the floor. That's always been my habit, I've tried to break out of it but it's so hard, for some reason going on stage for a set helps me get my confidence up first.





interesting. this all came about tonight when a girl who is a fairly good hustler told me she had no idea how to get herself motivated and i gave her a pep talk. after which she told me i shoudl make motivational tapes for dancers. LOL! so i had to wonder what you guys did. i rarely need the peptalking but if im off one night, ill take a minute to refresh myself and say something like "you are the hottest chick in here! you are going to show everyone how hot you are, how great you are, how smart and sexy you are, and take everyone's money!" usually, it works. if it doesn't i often go home because i wont be able to get into "it". keep these posts coming, im curious abotu the rest of you!
Love it!
Me too. A stage set gets me into stripper-mode, then I'm ready to go. No pep talks, although I might try it.I usually need to do one stage set before I can hit the floor.

My hubby does it for me.....as I'm getting ready he'll come by and say things like "Damn! I hope you don't have to stop for gas or something!" or "God, how is anyone going to be able to resist you tonight!" Which always makes me grin and feel flirty and gets the mood going.
Such a good guy.





Yup me too. I don't feel like I'm "in stripper mode" until I get up there. On the downside, if I get to work to late, and it's gonna be at least an hour before I get on stage, then I just need to jump right in. Usually it's an easy transition if I run into a regular customer of the club to talk to me for a few.Originally Posted by leogirl876

At least half my effort in my previous club went into nightly pep talks delivered to a wide variety of dancers, many of whom were trying to get out of stage time, or were just worn out from this rough club.
Now it happens much more rarely in my new (and infinitely preferable) club, but it does happen. I've always gone with the 'DJ as coach" philosophy, where it is appreciated or needed.

I would be a fool to just walk in to work and fall right in. Not in this business! I mentally prepare for whatever my day might be when I start getting ready at the house. I pray up in the car ride over and when I walk through those doors it's game time. I spend my time at work very differently than most girls. I take minimal breaks and try to stay out on the floor as much as possible. I'm always on my feet unless I'm dancing for a customer. It's very draining, but the ends usually justify the means at the end of the night, but even if it doesn't I can rest easy knowing that I spent my time well and did everything I could have to make it a prosperous night.
I'm so bad about not being able to stripper it up until I've had one stage set. But i am bad... I get presentable for the floor so I can walk over to the dj booth and check in. Then I just in the dressing room and stretch and futz until I get on stage. After that set though, I can easily just walk off stage and talk to people on the floor.
I'm thinking about burning my dancerwealth hsc cds to my ipod though for the commute.![]()
I talk to Emily on aol and she gets me motivated lol. But once I start getting ready then I am starting to get into the mode. If I go of course or get distracted by say, taking a nap, then everything is ruined! So now I get ready last minute. Also if I do my daily good luck things it tricks me into thinking it's going to be a good night. A couple of my good luck routines are 1) Get gas at pump number 7 at my favorite gas station (although the other day I was in arush and someone was there so I put 15 dollars into number 15 and that worked I had a good night.) I have to make a wish at exactly 7:11pm, and I must find a star to wish on every night. Silly stupid things work for me. And I like to either have a can of red bull or a can of diet pepsi and if it isn't in a can it has to be in my special lucky diet pepsi car cup. I guess it's all about routine.




I like this. It's full of positivity.Originally Posted by BeBe
I called you (Chrissy) for a pep talk the other night, its nice having someone who loves you tell you how beautiful you are and how awesome your going to do tonight! I also pump myself, i go over some of my hustle lines in my head while i'm in the shower. I also have an amazing girlfriend who lotions up my body before work and she always comments on how hot my body is and how i'm gonna go take all the guys money that night. I also get to work a little early so i can relax while i get ready and i always drink half a low carb monster while i'm getting ready and that gives me just enough boost to get through the night! I'm new but so far these things are working for me.





No pep talks for me but I have my stripperizing routine. I like to do my makeup and hair at work. That's part of it. Then when ready, I check in with DJ, survey the crowd a little, pick a song (they usually start me in the next 1-2 songs) and head to the bar for a soda or water. Along the way I've usually caught eyes with someone checking me out - this provides the first necessary ego stroke. Drink in hand, I start my mojo-strut around the room, sucking on my straw in a kind of slutty-high-school way, letting the boys look, grinning mischeivously and watching out the corner of my eye for who's break-necking as I passMany times someone will try to wave me over or ask for a dance right away, but I have to tell them "so sorry I can't now, gotta go on stage". This provides the rest of the necessary ego stroke.
Now I can go on stage and rock it, and start scheduling the lineup from stageside dance requests. It's usually pretty smooth sailing from there![]()





^ What I usually do is a lot like what B does. The Dancerwealth course was a great motivational speech, and I've thought of buying the CD's for motivation... but that's some expensive motivation. I think there'd definitely be a market for motivational stuff for dancers. Hmmm, maybe I should do that...





^^ I like to listen to them even if Im going to the smaller club. Theres something I pick up and use that I missed the first several times I listened. Gets me in the mindset to make money. Also, I like to play music and such before I leave the house. I look over how much I planned to make that day.
