Chicken dancer?

I arrived at Follies today 30 minutes before the official opening. As soon as I got settled in I saw a dancer that I was pretty sure had worked there in the past and that I had had some good times with . I couldn't place a name and of the few girls I asked, they didn't know her. So I planned to approach her or tip her on stage or whatever it took to get her to my table. As soon as the stage got cranked up she disappeared into the dressing room and I never saw her again.

Did she need money and decide to start stripping again but then chickened out when it got right down to doing it?
