If you've negotiated a rate of 300 for the FS, would you still tip on top of that? If so, how much would you typically tip, and when would you give it—before or after?
I’m with Jascoi, except that I would not consider buying a dancer a drink to be a tip. It’s either just being sociable or rental for her time at the bar
If I tip is variable. Usually, no. Like others have said, the agreed price is kinda the tip. But at a lot of places around here there are unofficial market set prices for girls. When girls do a good job in a place like that and I want to see them again or potentially OTC, I'll usually give them a little more than we agreed on.
When I tip is simpler. After. Always after. I believe tips are appreciation or reward for exceptional service. I know you can make the argument that a tip before the service is provided is a way to encourage exceptional service, but in the stripper business I've not found that to be true. In other situations, it might be.
If a girl asks to be paid in advance, I won't tip. In that case, I feel like she already got a tip in the form of not risking nonpayment and instead transferring the risk of nonperformance to me. That, and I find that every girl who as ever asked to be paid up front has provided sub-par service and I didn't want to tip anyway.
In most clubs, the cost of extras is referred to as a "tip", regardless of whether or not it's a quid pro quo situation. So no, if I've negotiated the price beforehand, I don't tip any more than the negotiated price.
I'll go against the grain a little here: If the dance was absolutely outstanding and I would want to repeat, I will absolutely tip a little extra on top of the negotiated rate. Maybe 15% or so, so on a $300 dance, maybe like $40 extra or so. And, I would tip after the dance ends, never before.
The point of tipping would be the same reason to tip a bartender well. I want the bartender to remember me and get my drink order quickly next time. Similarly, I would want the dancer to remember me and make me a priority next time I'm in the club.
I usually pay the negotiated price. However, there are some exceptions. I once met a new dancer who was very beautiful, and we agreed on $300. But the VIP experience was so good that I gave her $400. She became a regular for a year.

Or maybe buy her a drink.

If you do tip after. Anything less than $100 would seem bad though
