Mikey And Mandy: Guide to Stripping Part 2
Tips:
• The most important part of this is not your moves (for sure, these help) but it’s your ability to “sell” yourself. Saying “Hi I’m ___ wanna lap-dance?” will not cut it. How about trying “Hi! How was your day? Oh mine was peachy!” “So how was work? Oh sorry to hear you got fired from the cheese factory.” ::rub leg:: I’m sure you get the idea, you’re there to entertain. Treat them like they’re the cutest, smartest, most interesting person you’ve ever met. But if they don’t give you money, in say 4 songs worth, then walk away. You’re here to make money and time is precious.
• Don’t try pole tricks instantly other than basic spins
• Do not talk to the other dancers when you’re auditioning, no matter how nervous you are
• Do not give compliments to everyone there.
• Make sure your hair and makeup is done before you audition.
• Make sure you are properly shaved/waxed in all areas and keep it that way everyday you go to work.
• To prevent irritation after shaving your pubic area, pat dry and apply anti-perspirant.
• When counting your money the first night – or any night – don’t brag or show your money. Always keep your money on you at work – and don’t bring any TO work.
• Have a garter to keep your money in. You can wear it anywhere on your leg, and customers can put money wherever, but after your set, fold your money in half over the garter and use a rubber band to keep it there. And keep singles on the outside (or 5s if you’re lucky enough not to have any singles).
• Move slowly on stage your first times until you feel your groove.
• Don’t wear glitter or very heavy perfume. This rubs off on the customer and makes it harder for him to be discreet about where he’s just been. You may not get as many dances for this reason, so no glitter and apply perfume lightly or use a body mist.
• Try to find something, anything, attractive about each customer and focus on it. That way you don’t have to become a total bullshit artist.
• Clubs may have general rules, like “boobs by second song, bottoms off by third.” But unless you’re in a really sleezy club, this usually won’t be enforced. Work at your own level of comfort.
• You’re most likely not getting paid by the club, so it’s the customers paying to get your clothes off. Keep in mind that you’re not trying to earn their tips, they’re trying to earn your body. Be a tease and work it slow. If you’re wearing a dress, start taking it off, and take it off more as they tip.
• Earn respect from your coworkers and your customers. Don’t dress too trashy (stick with sexy, or if you must go trashy, make it seem exotic) and don’t take stuff off too quickly. If customers see you’ll do just anything for a dollar, you can give a face full of vag and realize you made less than $10 on that set. This also helps you keep your respect for yourself.
• Know your customers. Who is there because they’re horny and who’s there for giggles (with female customers, that may be your limit.)
• But if they’re there for a birthday or a bachelor party, play off the others to get them to treat the birthday boy to a lap dance.
• Focus eye contact and flirty looks on the horny ones. They’re more likely to pay for a private dance if you make them feel special.
• Look around. The classier the place, then the more you can make, and the less you have to put up with. For example, if you could work at a gentlemen’s club with real bouncers, that serves alcohol, is only topless, has a dresscode for customers, and where you may actually get paid by the club, you can make more than working at a full nude sleaze hole that doesn’t serve alcohol. Also note: The customers that come in drunk are usually more dangerous and disrespectful than the ones who are drinking there and having a good time.
• Be aggressive! Don’t ask your customers for a dance, tell them they want to have fun in the VIP room! And if they say “maybe later” or “not now,” don’t give up. Just tell them “Make yourself at home, I’ll be back for you,” with a smile, and walk away. Check up on them throughout the night.
• When trying to get a dance, smile, and put a hand on their hand or shoulder, and make eye contact. Draw attention to your breasts, and use a sultry voice. You may even be able to sit on their lap (it’s up to you if you wanna play innocent here, or give them a ‘preview’), but some clubs are strict about lap dances on the floor, and may even consider sitting on the customer’s lap a no-no.
• If you are on the pill or considering it, keep in mind that on average, dancers make 80% more while ovulating than on their period. Those on the pill make about the same amount consistently, and it is only slightly more than while non-users are on their period.
