Maybe try working in the morning. I know a few dancers in the EU who do that... the US has more of a tipping tradition than Europe (from what i understand) and by working mornings you can take advantage of that.

If you do that you might want to try using some British slang in Your emotes, that would set you apart from the rest and maybe make you a bit exotic from the US viewpoint.

DON'T use long emotes... people are too lazy to read them.

DON'T emote too much, some dancers almost become little spam machines spitting out emotes every few mins.

DO pay attention to what is happening in the club, take part of the conversations, take cues from the songs being played and work them into your actions.

DO learn what the guests like (and they are guests not "marks") Person A might tip if you flirt with a girl, person B might tip of you do something that would make them blush. Oh and don't forget to flirt with the girls too.

DO treat everybody the same. The noob who tipped you the only L$ 5 he had, the person who tipped you L$2500, and the person who didn't tip you because they were broke at the moment all should be treated the same.

DO have fun dancing... that is really all that matters
