    Default One of my pet peeves at work...

    is when other dancers STARE at me when I'm on stage. I mean, to the point where they don't take their eyes off of me. Luckily it's usually just one or two of them who do this. The ones who do this usually have bitchy looks on their faces and they don't clap. I watch girls on stage occasionally when I'm bored, but never to the point where I stare at anybody. I hate this! Sorry, just had to vent!

    LOL there are a few girls at my new club who do that to me. It actually motivates me. Girls being haters make me feel so dam good about myself. I must be hot shit if they have to stare w/ grim hateful looks on their face. Sometimes I act like I dont notice them watching..then othertimes I stare back at them while I dance. Or if I'm feeling extra sassy, I'll smile at them hahaa.

    It happens alot here in NY cause everyone wants to steal your style or just hate on you. I don't care they can stare all they want. Don't let them bother you or screw up your game.

    I feel women like that are trying to intimidate me, hoping I will make mistakes. Its all about who does the best routine, who can get the most tips. I hope its not true, and that I am just being paranoid.

    Usually when I'm staring at a girl on stage, it's because I'm zoning out...either that, or I'm completely captivated.

    I'm right along with you. It is a RARE circumstance I am actually going to watch a girl's performance to critique (or think anyone is doing the same to me while I'm on stage). Although, there have been those moments when I've seen the mom, manager, and the like watching us like gods from above.

    I used to watch girls on stage when I was new. Actually, the DJ sugggested I watch the other girls to get an idea of how to dance on stage. I didn't STARE though. He told me to slow down. Like a lot of girls, I danced way too fast in the beginning.
    I don't mind it when other girls watch me. If they are zoning out watching me then I know they aren't hustling. What bothers me is when the staff stares. I had this barback who would stop what he was doing to watch me. Ick.

    "watching us like gods from above"
    Yah, the one week I worked there that creeped me out a bit.


    K, I have to tell this story from last night, because it fits here and I SO wish other girls were more like this.
    I'm on stage, being my usual goofball, and I see one of the girls staring at me, the entire time. No expression or anything...so I blow it off and keep doing my thing. Later that night she and I are in the dressing room and she says to me "You're doing alright tonight, right?" I say yah, having an okay night, but then again, I always have okay nights.
    She says "Yah, but you and I work differently then most other girls I think, in fact, you are the only one here I would consider competition, hustle wise I mean." at this point I'm thinking, Oh shit, here come the claws. She goes on to say "But I don't hate, only love, you're cool as hell."

    I'm thinking when I go to work Sat night I'm going to invite her to check out SW, what a cool thing to say!

    (in response to exoticengineer, not sophiemarie) ^ ya, God bless the nice dancers. Seriously. Sometimes I get so pissed at the haters that I forget all of the girls who say nice things.

    And the staring at me while I'm on stage is the thing that probably pisses me off the most. I've had girls just full on scowl at me for a full set. I always wonder what the customer who they're sitting with thinks. They're just trying to mess you up, so I do always take it as a compliment that they are so threatened.

    Then there was the vet. in the dressing room last night who as I was getting dressed to go home, told me - "girl, you're the BOMB!" after she'd seen me hustling my ass off all night.

    I hope every single one of us on SW is a NICE dancer, and would never stare a girl down while she's on stage.

    When I frist started dancing I watched the girl on stage , some catavating others not so much . In wanted to learn what attracted attention and what did not. The way to get better at anything is to watch the experts and take notes from them. This is different then steeling certian moves they do or even there sence of style. It is looking at there self confience , appeal and motivation that you take notes on, take it as a compliment that you have qualities that someone else desires. As for them being rude or shooting nasty looks accross the room agnore them and get back to many money not enemies.

    Me too. I don't even pay any attention to them. I know they are looking because they go in the back and make fun of other dancers dance styles. I don't get annoyed because I know they do it to EVERYONE on the stage. Also the stage is the main focal point in the club, so if you aren't staring at the person next to you, you'll have to look at the stage or the club walls.

    I always thought it was one of those dancer etiquette things. Like, I never pull a guy from another girls rack, and I never watch her on stage. I mean little glances, but not the whole time.

    There are some girls that I love to watch on stage, because I think they rock. But I make sure to smile at them and clap when they are done....

    ^^^Yeah, same here. I don't mind if they watch me if they're nice about it and clap when I'm done. I'm talking about the ones who stare who give me bitchy looks and don't clap.

    I just love to watch. There are a few girls that are just awesome on stage. Also the girls at my club have a great time on stage. They cut up when its slow and have a great time. So I watch along with the custys sometimes.

    I catch myself zoning toward that direction, just cause sometimes there's a lull in conversation or something and the customer will be looking that way. This would bother me, however.

    I tend to watch when I first get there, before I get on stage the first time. If I'm watching, it's cause I think the girl is good on stage. I mean why would I spend my time looking if I don't like the girl?

    I don't mind girls watching me on stage as long as they look friendly. If they look bitchy it makes me a little nervous. Like, "whats i that girls issue?"
