Calling all dancers-input on this list appreciated!

Apr 19, 2009 00:28

So, I got an e-mail tonight from a girl interested in starting to dance. In the course of our convo, I sent her this list of etiquette for dancers. Honestly, I'm surprised I haven't written something like this out yet.

Weigh in if you'd like, dancers! And obviously everyone else is welcome to read/ask questions.

Agreed. My own field of expertise is about as different from this one as you can get, but a lot of these rules still apply in a more general way.

In the end it all comes down to "be professional, and don't be a douche bag." I think we can all get behind that.

If anyone asks your opinion on another dancer, just say "I'm fine with her" or change the subject.

And I would assume that this would be the case even if you and the other dancer are the best of friends off-shift, lest someone use this information to be even creepier than he was in the first place? *wry smile*

What's the policy on bitching about customers to other customers in hopes of getting a fatter tip?

I was at a club that that happened at. I wouldn't bite but was very polite about it. After a while minutes I came to realize that none of the dancers were coming around my table anymore.

I'm not a stripper but I think bitching about anything or anyone to customers is just obnoxious. They're there for service, not to listen to someone whine about their problems.

That's a really good set of guidelines to start girls off. I think having a list for newbies to review is a great idea. Maybe you should keep this an on-going discussion ( ... )

What is the best way to deal with customers who are consistently "touchy-feely" and aren't getting the fact that no, in fact, they are NOT allowed to touch girls? Because I'm assuming, "Take your fucking hands off of me, you scumbag," would be frowned upon.

That line usually works for me. Especially if they are being obnoxious about it.

Then point them out to the bouncer... good clubs won't tolerate 'handsy' customers.
