I’m really sick of going to clubs and getting kicked off a podium so some ‘dude’ can get up and do some weird muscle jerks while my friends and I have to dance to Ke$ha on the dancefloor like ‘normal’ people.
I know I dance like an idiot, but by God, once Gaga (technically also God) comes on, you best be sure I’ll turn any club into a monster ball.
Just last week, I was hastily scurried off my podium to watch this guy literally twist his nipples for a good 20 minutes. I would love to get paid to twist my nipples for 20 minutes.
I dance nonstop all night on these big wooden blocks and don’t get paid a cent. In fact, I’m actually paying for drinks, so it’s like I’m paying them!
Sure, I understand they have these awesome bodies and every gay man loves seeing a hot somewhat naked man. I’m totally fine with that, in fact, I support it. But for once, just once, I would love to see some sort of choreography, some enthusiasm.
Yes, I can see your six-pack, but unless it can do more than just move left and right I’m not that interested. Oh wow, you moved left, and left again. You obviously studied jazz.
“But they only have a small area to dance on,” would probably be the best argument I could think of for them to not have any sort of choreography.
I’ve seen people on pogo sticks with more fluid movement, dead-set pogo sticks!
Sorry boys, but if you aren’t going to grind like you mean it, then maybe it’s time for a curtain call.

well I think you’ve got a point here, and why not ask a club why they don’t have some little young boys up there, I’d much rather see someone up there having fun and enjoying the music, then some piece of meat, who probably isn’t even gay BTW, sway without any rhythm. If I see someone having a good time, it enhances my good time too.
Seriously, put it to Arq, or else go to the Taxi club, they have a stage and anyone can get up all night long!
Mr Materson. A decent comment and personal recollection of a real experience. Well said, placed, worded and put. Thank you. X
Stand (or dance) your ground Jesse. I used to live with a dancer and they can be real exhibitionists. Dance, your way and be proud that you are authentic!.
Peace,

Jesse, lets face it, those guys are up there for one thing and one thing only… spank bank.
They’re not paid to dance! They’re paid to look good, or rather, be looked at.
But I have the same concerns you have, a good song comes on and i wanna bust a move without unintentionally busting someone’s nose with my elbow in a crazy Latin dancing frenzy.
Thus the podium becomes a great option, but oh wait, there is some big dude flexing his pectorals… oh wow how does he make them dance like that? Okay, now I’m bored GET OFF AND LET ME DANCE.
The podium provides more space then the dance floor, and you have the wall and roof to work with too… if i can do a Latin routine wedged between the DJ booth and a half a dozen twinks sharing Amyl then the podium dancers could certainly articulate their body parts to create something interesting to watch.
All in all, I agree… next time you’re on the podium take your shirt off and show them how its done, while still providing something for the spank bank.
