How to escape the 1st clingy dancer

I used to be able to visit clubs late at night, both on business trips and occasionally at home. But now, 90% of my clubbing is day shift/happy hour.
And given the time of day, I might only have 30 minutes to an hour to visit. Whereas years ago I could find 2+ hours at night to have fun. And when you're only planning to stay for an hour, it can kill your visit when the 1st girl (who you just aren't into) decides to pull up a chair and chat for 20 minutes.
What are some of the ways you have found to politely escape that going nowhere conversation? I'll usually ride it out and try to be clear that I'm not interested in a dance. But sometimes the girl just doesn't take the hint.
Just last week I walked into a club and as I was ordering a beer, a dancer latched onto me, followed me to where I was sitting and struck up a convo. Very polite, but not at all my type. Meanwhile other women took the stage and I wasn't free to walk up and tip them. Those missed opportunities can be tough, hurting the chances of getting dances from one you're actually into.
Got something to say?
