Lapdance 101 – Tips and warnings
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 any pole tricks straight away 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.
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.
Don’t give your phone number or real name to customers.
Never accept a customer’s offer to do a private show in their home!
If they say ‘what will you do for £x’, walk away, they’re not worth your time. You have the right and privilege to reject anyone.
The choices you make, make you and if you choose to do this you can never unchoose it.
When first starting on the pole, don’t put your heels on, just in case.
Make sure to follow the club rules for dancing.
This includes ;
Don’t do drugs at work ! Get caught in one club and you can kiss any decent clubs goodbye.
Don’t get drunk at work. Sure, it will help loosen you up but if something goes wrong in the back room or on stage you won’t be able to defend or protect yourself.
Never do “extras” meaning acts for the customer not allowed by your club rules. You can make money without them and you never know who is an undercover cop, if the manager is watching, etc. If you can’t make money by working clean, find a better club.
Never use baby oil on your body and don’t put on lotion before you go to work. It will make you slip and fall on stage, as well as making those that follow you do the same. You could get seriously injured. So no baby oil and moisturise the night before or a good many hours before working.
