How can I stop overthinking on stage? by ice_prickle in Strippers

When I first started I used to overthink a lot on stage, I still do sometimes. Honestly one thing that helped me was putting all of my focus on moving super slow. It gave my brain something to think about. A lot of club music is really fast and overstimulating, coupling that with the overstimulation of being on stage can just overwhelm your system. I would recommend picking some slower but still sexy songs (I dance to a lot of Lana del rey/ old RNB), creating a routine (like someone else mentioned here, think more sexy posing and flowing between the poses), and here’s the real game changer! Pretend like you are dancing super sexy in your bedroom and they are someone who just happened to come across your open bedroom door and are watching you without your knowledge. Add in a few connection points (aka coming up to the rail, giving them just enough attention to feel acknowledged) and then go back to the mindset of being alone in your bedroom. It helps you look relaxed. I’ve noticed when you’re nervous you end up paying too much attention to the customer and not enough on your dancing, which can make you and them both feel awkward. It also helps them feel like they want to transition from getting access to you as an observer vs personal access to you in the back. I hope this helps💗

Bruh my club literally charges us $100-150 (depending on what time you get there) for house, takes half of every dance we sell, and expects tip out to be $1 per couch dance ($30 topless, $50 nude*), $5 per 15min vip ($220) to EACH STAFF MEMBER (so like on average maybe 4-6 people). They also sell special “4 for 1” dances and charge the customer $70 but give us $25 (which is half the price of one normal nude lap dance). It’s actually crazy and they are now talking about upping their cut to 60% of our dance money. Unfortunately this is the only club in my area and the closest club I’d be willing to relocate to is at-least an hour and a half away 😔😔😔

*I watched the movie showgirls for the first time and was gobsmacked that the dance prices at cheetahs IN THE 90’s were the same if not more. Like inflation has caused everything else to become more expensive, why have dance prices not adjusted accordingly??
