^^^Yeah, I get a lot of requests from people to get back up on stage when Ive just come off etc. We always have a strict roster though so it cant be done and they have to wait. The fact that they do suggests that people do like watching a good stage show. (And yes they pay for dances usually so its all cool.)
I definatly think its half about how you interact with the customers though!
Edited because I read the above post wrong. When guys say to me "I wanna see you on stage first" some times thats just an excuse for them to get rid of you because theyre just not going to spend $ or youre not their type or whatever. Regardless do a good show anyway andmake sure they notice you because it can really pay off! (-:

Read the rest of my post. You can get an idea of what to expect from a dancer by seeing her attitude on stage, does she look like she's having fun, and does she make eye contact?
If a dancer looks bored or detached from the audience on stage, it is usually a pretty accurate predictor of a boring lap dance. It is a good screening process to save the wasting of the price of a lap dance.
I'm too wimpy for the more athletic moves and know 2 pole tricks. Buuut, I tend to get tipped well on stage.
I like to sit/lay by the edge of the stage and do very basic floorwork. To compensate for my lack of flash, I make a LOT of eye contact and do a LOT of smiling as well. I stare, smile, and raise my hair above my head and let it fall down as I do this.... I make the customer think I'm dancing *just for him*. Voila! 9 times out of 10 this gets me a tip. And the one time I strike out? Well, some other guy will comment on what a loser the non-tipper is and tip me instead : ).
I really love watching fancy stage shows and admire anyone who can do them. But I do think that if that when fancy pole tricks are all there are to a show, it's more like watching sports than watching porn. Don't forget the sexual fantasy!





The advice on here is great. However, I don't have a pole so i don't do pole tricks. I do have trouble with the eye contact think though, I have a bit of a lazy eye so I don't like to look straight in the eyes but I do the sideway glances. I guess all I was saying was that the club I work at is one of those starter clubs so there's alot of newbies there that just don't know how to dance, and I'm up there very professional, maybe that's the wrong word. I'm up there and I KNOW what I'm doing, and it doesn't fly. I don't speed around the stage. I get up there and walk up to the guys on stage and smile and ask them all how they are, and I turn around and writhe my ass in their face and pull my hair up and run my hands down my body, etc... I know how to be sexy. Maybe it's just the fresh meat thing. But hey I'm only 23 I still got years ahead of me.
Kaiarose, I'm glad you started this thread because I've always wanted to know the answer. I'm one of the best stage performers in my club as well. I started consistently doing trial and error performances for 3 months now to see how tips vary, but I think I started the experiment a little too late because it's like I've become branded as a particular type of dancer and the club patrons expect nothing less. When I tone down the tricks, and do mainly floor work or incorporate a tipping customer into my show...i get a lot of clapping and hollering, but the tips remain the same if not less. Sometimes when club regulars come up to tip, they ask me how come I'm not working the pole like I usually do. Even customers I've never seen before would come up to me say they heard that I'm awesome dancer and they ask me to do some cool stuff in my stage set.
When I dance, I move very sensual, keep sometimes a huge smile on my face because the dj says something crazy on the mic, and keep eye contact while doing pole tricks and/or removing articles of clothing in slow motion. I have fun and enjoy what I do!
I'm not too sure what else to try because it's frustrating to see those certain ladies who dont dance on stage walk in the dressing room with buckets of tips. Other than the stage performances though, I do pretty well. But, it would be nice to receive buckets of tips consistently.





#1. (what was already said) they want to see your attitude
#2. because they want to see you naked first.
#3. because they are judging you against every girl before you on stage.
i -haaaaaaaate- when guys say this and i'm not going on stage for another hour. WTF am i supposed to do?
