So what do you guys think of travel dancers in clubs you hang out in?
nicespice
Think they keep the club lineup from getting too stale? Think they are a bunch of ROBs? Have neutral feelings and don’t care either way?
This thread is inspired by the upteenth recent review of Hiliter that mentioned travel dancers with a negative tone. At one point, I figured that was just a tuscl thing, but sure enough the very few times I’ve shown up at that club before 9pm, that was probably the most ridiculous amount of hostility from customers I’ve encountered anywhere. Just making simple eye contact and so many would glare then quickly look away. (But of course Hiliter was the place I HAD to try if I was a traveling to Phoenix was what I was told by multiple individuals. Sigh.)
Not from everyone of course, but it was a huge chunk of people. It would be as if I went to a strip club in Portland wearing a NRA t-shirt, or if I went to a club in Texas with a t-shirt that said “Whataburger sucks”—*that* level of hostility.
I just assumed being flagged as a travel dancer was the reason I dealt with mega rudeness there. It’s not like I insulted anybody’s ability to park a car to their face or anything. 👀
But not a big deal. There were other clubs around town more locals-y than that club AND I blatantly told customers I was from out of town and they reacted like most customers do in other places I’ve been. Responses like “Oh cool, so what brings you out here?” “I’ve been to Texas/Colorado/whatever I said during xyz time” are super common. And it’s an easy ice breaker because I can get somebody to recommend restaurants or things to do in the local area (And I often do actually go to the places they say when I’m not at work and have fun)
But makes me wonder how many places have customers that don’t like outsiders. In my experience, that’s not very common. But who knows, maybe I’m subconsciously filtering some people out or something…? Idk. Just interested in reading opinions.

The only time I don't like traveling dancers is when it is a hyped up feature dancer. They usually bring in a larger crowd, the club brings in extra security and some of the regular dancers take the shift off instead of trying to compete with the featured dancer. They are also usually overpriced and low mileage on private dances.
It’s interesting stuff 🤔
Personally I don't care. It's not like I'll ask a dancer if she's traveling when I get a dance.
I travel so much myself, I don't' know who's local and who's a traveling dancer. But I always like variety. So I would think most guys would like some " fresh meat" in the place. Especially if they are short, Asian with big boobs. What's not to love there ?
Fond memories of a travel dancer whose itinerary included a local club. Usually came for a week or two every six weeks. Seemed to be welcomed by most of the local dancers AND patrons. Attractive, great stage routine and LDs, and interesting to drink with and talk to.
@Icey Um…if it’s Vegas, dancers do not give a shit about travel dancers. (For obvious reasons) I know you’re a troll but wtf
And you're one of the biggest trolls here. Why don't you go back to getting dougster to post here so you can get off on his trolling
But then there's the dancers who, they got everything done up, they've danced in LA, Miami, Vegas, NYC I just know that in there wake there are likely hundreds of guys they've ripped off over the years. Typically not baby dancers, more veteran dancers that are wise to the game. Sharks of the stripper world. My guard is gonna be up here. Not writing anybody off but that's just what I've seen. I have met cool strippers have travel dancers who have that resume too not saying all just I got to wonder is all.
The girl next door who just goes down to her local club every Thursday night so she could buy some weed while she's in college. She might be down for otc cause she's too lazy to work all the time. That's kind what I like personally. Not really as much into the sharks that spent the last entire decade getting over on wall street guys, it's too much bullshit there.
It is fun talking to the traveling dancers about all the different clubs we've hit in America so in a lot ways it's a big ice breaker.
In Minnesota at least at one club it’s ridiculously easy to make money off the locals there. Some part of me wonders why the heck I haven’t moved and work in downtown Minneapolis. But then Denver will get a snow day and I can’t get my dog outside to go for a walk and then oh yeah…
They have no regulars, no RIL's. So I think a greater percentage of them tend to be harder core and up for OTC. But whatever, I don't see any problem with them. It is all their choice.
If a guy does not like them, then just stay away from them.

She told me she was born in Cancun Mexico, and now she was running away from her husband in Florida.
She was really a trip to be around. She knew how to dress the part perfectly.
She seemed to get around by taxi cab, which would make it easy to just load her into your own car. She told me which hotel she was staying at, though that may have been just a ploy. Like many at that club she had business cards and a 1-800 number with an operator standing by.
She was really good. Some weeks later I commented on her to the lady bar tender. She said that Latinas are just like that, really engaging with you. And now I really agree even more so.

Taxis were how she got to her hotel, I guess except for when a guy was driving her.

The biz cards were their own doing.

I guess it really depends on their reason for traveling. But in large cities it tends to be to scam.
I know NJ gets a bad rap as far as states go, and yet I don’t think it’s deserved. If a traveling dancer thinks she’s too good for NJ, and she tells me that, I would find her to be rude. But if she’s a filthy extras girl, I could easily overlook it.
Local girls, traveling girls...they're all girls. To me it's more about the individual vs where she calls home.
In terms of my experiences with them it's been a mixed gab. It's easier for transient girls to play games and I've met some who certainly tried. OTOH I've had a couple of solid OTC adventures with traveling dancers who were motivated to salvage bad nights.
One game I've seen a couple of times is a girl emphasizing that she's traveling alone, no doubt to stoke the imagination of the PL she is working. It's safe to assume that this is not true in most cases. I don't think I've ever met a traveling dancer who was really traveling by herself. In every instance there was either another girl dancing with her or an SO nearby and in some cases both (lol).
When I meet a travel dancer I just play by the same rules I use when I'm the one traveling and don't know the environment. I keep my eyes open, don't flash my cash and, if an OTC opportunity arises, I control the space and never pay upfront.
How are you finding out there is a SO? If it’s just a dancer claiming to be by herself, but she’s not going to let you back to where she is staying, it could very well be she has an Airbnb that has rules against “unauthorized guests” and extra guests have to have the host’s permission when actually booking.
I’ve noticed when it comes to travel dancing with someone, there seems to be an age gap there. Zoomer dancers will literally go online and post a selfie and ask for a travel buddy and don’t seem to care that they don’t really know who they are traveling with. Then those of us like late 20s or older tend to either just stick to who we know or will go alone.
I personally have considered trying to make friends and possibly find people to vet because my home club always has travel dancers (it’s definitely useful to sit in the dressing room and hear gossip about different places when the club is slow). It would be nice to reduce expenses and with the right person have more safety. But I keep to myself too much so it doesn’t happen.

I liked the variety travel dancers bring. At the 'fond memory' club I mentioned above, the dancer always set the timing & length of her visit in advance with mgmt so that may have lessened any local dancer negativity.
As far as how I often pick it up it's a simple matter of paying attention. Sometimes these guys are actually stupid enough to come into the club and sooner or later they make so.e type of contact that gives it away. In other cases it is something she says or does. Most of these traveling dancers are hardly the inscrutable Sphinxes you seem to believe them to be.
For example, who was taking the pics of you when u were posting titty pics with my name on them? Some of those pics included two hands so it wasn't you. ;)
And as far as how am I able to take photos hands free…wouldn’t you like to know? 😜
At the peak of my SCing I hit mostly small-black-clubs – these clubs tended to have a lot of turnover where seeing the same-dancers from visit-to-visit only applied to a small # of the dancers – so I was used to seeing new faces all the time.
I’ve had both good and bad experiences w/ traveling-dancers – some bad-experiences in that SoFlo clubs are high-mileage and some of these girls come from low-mileage areas where they are used-to, and expect, to make $$$ w/ little or no 2-way-contact – I’ve also had good experiences where “enterprising dancers” see the high-mileage in SoFlo-clubs as a way to bank.
So I’m mostly neutral w.r.t. traveling-dancers – if I had to choose being pro or con, I’d choose being pro-traveling-dancers as I’m a variety-PL and the more-to-choose-from the better I like-it.
Being a variety-PL also means that in addition to trying as many dancers as I can on a given-visit, I also like to hit different-clubs as long as they fit my M.O. – I guess if I was the type that was into fave-dancers and liking the consistency of hitting-the-same-club every-time, then likely I would not like seeing unfamiliar faces b/c a-big-part of being-a-regular is the consistency-aspect of it.
From what I’ve read of HiLiter, I get the sense it has traditionally been the type of club that locals hit regularly (at least on dayshift) so they have a certain expectation and perhaps less likely to be into-new-faces? Also decent chance they may get a good # of traveling-dancers from California that may not be familiar nor down-with the HiLiter M.O. in terms of service/mileage and/or prices?
With traveling dancers, I don't mind them but I am always increasingly suspicious of them. The ROB factor tends to be much higher among traveling dancers. Pulling shit like saying their dances are more expensive than normal, after they've been rendered. It's also pretty common for them to stay close to their traveling partner, pushing two girl dances or even just doubling my bar tab. It's disappointing when a I realize a dancer I saw on stage and thought was hot turns out to be one of those girls who are attached at the hip to her friend. They are also much more likely to differ significantly from the local girls on price and limits.
I'm not hostile towards them, I'm just much less likely to risk spending much time or money on them once I realize they're traveling. Luckily the conversation about where you're from and do you come here often/been working here long is common and I can identify them quickly.
But I can see why the house dancers might not like them. Some are very good looking, and most are accustomed to a heavy routine of OTC.
If you like one of the house dancers, a good time to go after her and to get her outside might be when there are some travel dancers around.

I also had a few that were getting rooms on a nightly basis and wanted to spend the entire evening in my room. That was a no go for me no matter how drunk and horny I was.
If it’s a dancer that has traveled alone and kinda keeps to herself because she doesn’t know any other dancers yet, these can be a lot of fun too. They haven’t been jaded by the toxicity that exists among some of the existing girls. She is mostly there to have fun and make some money w/ no problems or drama.
