Do & Don’t: Courtesy in The Dressing Room

DON’T: Gag your co-workers with excess perfume. Instead, bring an extra stick of deodorant. Use this for all your little parts that get sweaty. Spots to hit: All over the front & back of your neck – you want him saying “Mmmm you smell good” when you lean in (or back) close. Cleavage & under your boobs! We all sweat there. Your lower back (so he doesn’t touch sweat when it tries to put his arm around you. And all around the outer lining of your panties or bottoms (need I explain why?).  Of course don’t forget your ‘pits! Your customers will love your smell, you’ll feel great, and your coworkers will thank you dearly for sparing them the air and possible allergic reactions!

DO: Keep all your belongings neat inside & outside your locker. especially outside. We don’t want anyone accusing someone of stealing because their stuff was laid out, we don’t want to take up our coworkers’ space in getting ready, and I’m sure we don’t want our clothes ending up on the floor. Be courteous of your fellow dancers, especially if your dressing room has a limited area.  Use as little space as possible to get ready – no need to throw all your makeup & hair tools all over the counter. Think of & bring out exactly what you need to get ready & put it right in front of you. When you’re done – put it away! Also in your locker, it helps to be organized! Some of us have tons of outfits and accessories. Try organizing them into bags: One for outfits (or split into tops & bottoms if you have more) one for accessories like fishnets & leg warmers, and a pocket for jewelry so those little things don’t get tangled up. You’re find things quicker & be less stressed wondering what to wear!
