^ Were the customers throwing money? And since you've been to NYC and Atlanta, would you say there's more money to be made in Atlanta? I've always been hearing that but I've never been to ATL myself so I don't really know.
I've never danced in NYC for any length of time. I had another job plus an SD lol so I never took it seriously. Sugar daddy has officially outlived his usefulness so I'm back in the game, just weighing options currently. There's money in ATL, I think the biggest deterrent is how dancers are mini celebs, so it is appealing to many young girls/women who notice this. Even with the permit deal there are so many. Advice given to me was to just bite the bullet, pay as much permits as you can, when you can and club hop.
I don't know what club would be consistently good, from what I am hearing it is Diamonds- but you know how info from other dancers can be. They brag to make themselves look good moreso than giving an honest opinion. It could be that DOA like other clubs, wait all week for a celeb or Dboy to come in and spend thousands, yet the rest of the week $ just trickles in.
Guys were buying dances at Magic, which consists of just dancing nude in front of them....some were tipping dancers on stage, but there was no raining that night I was there. A few of the guys were bored and said they had more fun at Onyx.
It really is a good place for petite dancers. Everyone I saw was very fit.

Squeeze in Weehawken would be a good club for newbies. Wednesday through Monday it's more of a Spanish/white club and Tuesdays it's a Spanish/black club. It's really low key. As long as you walk around the inside of the bar for tips they'll pretty much each give you $3. It's such an easy hustle especially if you aren't a good dancer yet.
As far as NYC goes, you could try Starlets just not on Wednesday or Sunday cause those nights are really busy and bring in the same crowd as Perfections/Sin. The rest of the week there is less wild and I've heard there's good money in there Friday-Saturday.

^That was in reply to shaysway.
And PV, I can't believe you said there was no raining the night you were there. I know every night isn't Christmas but jeez, with all the hype I've heard about that club I figured everyday there would be at least one big spender there. If ATL doesn't live up to the hype for me I can always move back to NY I guess but I realllllly hope it's as good as every says. *fingers crossed*

Im sure there is always a crowd because it is known from coast to coast. Big spender everynight? Maybe....I waa in there around 1am, Saturday night...it might as well had been a piano lounge. Lol there were dances and tipping but no green carpet. (laughs) I will say that I was told that weekdays were better. I dances in SC and we knew girls who would dance in ATL in the week, then travel across to the Carolinas to work weekends because the $ fell off. This waa a few years ago though.
You might as well give it a shot. I don't think you should just limit yourself to MC. Keep your ear to the ground/dancers/custys and decide which place to go to after when you get down there. Maybe the nights ive been just happened to be slow.
Is Starlets mostly Spanish?

@LexyNYC Thanx!! Do you know what the auditions are like at those clubs?? I had a baby recently and although i lost 97% of the baby weight i have these stretch marks that are making me crazyy but i could just be critical of myself. I dont want for the strecth marks to be the reason why they dont hire me...

Oh I plan on working everywhere. I'm used to being at a dif club every night here in NY so I'm planning on doing the same down there depending on how they do their scheduling.
And yeah, Starlets is mostly Spanish but that's how most all clubs out here are on the big nights cause there are sooooo many Spanish dancers out here and they for the most part all have the look that the clubs/customers want (butt shots, implants, fat transfers, etc). Besides from a small percentage of black girls out here that have been in the game for a while, most of the black girls I've seen have been petite and that isn't the look that the busy clubs/customers want. So don't let Starlets being mostly Spanish deter you cause when black girls show up that are good dancers/hustlers and have nice bodies, they make just as much money as anybody else.
And Shaysway, I assume for Squeeze you just show up early to audition and by early I mean around 8pm. Show up with your make up/hair already done, bring your own supplies (body spray, gum, baby wipes, stuff to touch up your make up, etc) cause they don't always have a house mom, and bring your ID. They have lockers there too if you want to bring a lock to put your bag away. At Starlets, show up around 9-9:30 to audition. The regular house mom is there Tuesday-Sunday. You can audition Wednesday and Sunday but you wouldn't be able to work those nights. If you audition any other day, you would be able to work that same night. And don't worry about your stretch marks. Most of us have them. If you don't want to show them, just buy outfits that cover them. You could always get one pieces like http://www.sassyassyjeans.com/product/908583/WHITE-MONOKINI-POLE-DANCER-WEAR.html. You won't stick out or anything for having your stomach covered cause a lot of girls do that for the same reason.

Yeah Onyx is more popular than magic city unless your from out of town and just coming to see what the hype is about. But the locals love Onyx and Follies right now. I hated everything about working at Onyx plus it is wack and slow unless your working night shift tuesday thursday friday or saturday. Follies has more consistent money on all their shifts. That place is ALWAYS packed anytime of the day or night! Strokes fell all the way off so alot of their girls work at Follies now. They just lifted their hiring freeze because so many girls were flocking to Follies. Diamonds is not consistent. Alot of the girls work at other clubs.

@LexyNYC Does Starlets do the inside of the bar tips too?? or do they do more LDs??
LexyNYC
08-31-2012, 05:37 PM
@shaysway At Starlets definitely go around the inside of the bar for tips cause that's easy quick money. As far as lap dances, I only work there on Wednesdays and Sundays when theres a different crowd so on those nights no one does lap dances persay. I don't know how the rest of the week there works for ld's. I assume that you could still hustle them as long as no one is in the VIP. Idk if you've been there before, but assuming you havent, there's two VIP sections there with chairs and couches. That's where you would do a lap dance but if the VIP is crowded with bottle service then you've got no where to do a lap dance. But, lap dance or not, you should walk around the outside of the bar and dance on all the customers cause they tip for that and some guys give more than $20 and even if they give less, it'll all add up by the end of the night.

Well, I just got home from Jaguar. I have absolutely nothing good to say about it.
1. I had to tell a few regular girls to not pick up money off the floor
2. I had a bottle of champagne showered on me (it wasn't just me, some idiot shaked it and sprayed everybody)
3. There was hardly any money
4. We weren't allowed to go near Future
5. I had to grab my money out of some regular girls hand cause as she walked by me she just scooped it up from atop my purse and tried to walk off like I didn't see her
6. I've never seen so many people with their phones out taking pictures of strippers and most of the dancers didn't even say anything which was baffling
7. Tip out is usually $50, today it was $110 and def not worth it
8. Think there were 80 girls there.. and there's only two girls on stage at a time so you can imagine how many times we each got to go on stage (once)
andddd the best part.. *drumroll*
I got into a shoving match with a male customer as I was leaving because he grabbed my butt while I was in my street clothes.
In a weird way, I'm kind of glad that the shoving match happened because otherwise I probably would have went back there on the 12th cause they're doing a new Wednesday event but fuckkkk that. Jaguar can burn to the ground for all I care. I'll never step foot in that shithole again.

I would agree with the answers above even though it's outdated big time! Atlanta is the best place for African American Strippers to earn good money. Magic City and Strokers are known throught the country where celebrities like Ludacris, Jermaine Dupri, etc. have done Music Videos there. I danced at Strokers for a year and made good money!!!
The hours for most strip clubs in Atlanta are 5pm (Happy Hour to 3am) M-Sunday. Atlanta doesn't sleep!

Vixenluv, how are the big clubs with scheduling? Like Onyx, Magic, Follies, Diamonds, and Kamaals? Do they just let you come in and work whenever or do you have to be on a strict schedule?
magic city is very relaxed with their rules I didnt have schedule but you have to do 3 shifts a week but they dont fine you if you dont. Onyx has a schedule and its 4 days a week and if you miss a shift or show up late their are fines. im not sure about the other clubs

Hey @LexyNYC I've read through this thread & I'm looking to dance at the palace & Jersey girls any info on what the money is looking like Friday & Saturday nights
LexyNYC
09-14-2012, 06:52 PM
^ Sorry, I quit Palace months ago and I've worked at Jersey Girls once in about a year so I'm not much help. I bet the weekends are decent though cause they're good at basically every club. Saturday is probably better at Palace because they have a promoted event each week and Friday is probably better at Jersey Girls cause they have a promoted event each week too or at least they used to.
I do know that at Jersey Girls the best nights are Sunday and Wednesday though.
PleasureVictim
09-17-2012, 09:11 PM
I've heard guys moan that the Palace has the same dancers over and over. Are their hiring standards very stringent? Or do they just basically stick to a certain look/body type?
LexyNYC
09-18-2012, 09:54 AM
^ That place is house girl city or at least it was when I used to work there. They only use 20 girls a night. It was kind of nice from a dancers perspective, being with the same girls every day, it was like a family. Not to mention, a lot of the customers go there like 4 times a week so you get to see them over and over again too. From like 9pm to 11 there, every house girl knew every customers name and the custies knew all of ours and our fav drinks, and they'd comment if we had on new shoes (that's how much they saw us lol). The old manager Frank used to occasionally bring in a new dancer or three on the busy nights but Frank's left and a few of the house girls have ventured off to work with him at his new spots. As far as hiring standards, Frank only hired bad chicks that were good dancers but the other managers care more about who will be loyal to the club than they care about looks or dancing ability.

Most of the black clubs here you can just walk in and get hired as long as you're pretty with a big booty and banging body. I do mixed upscale places. I'm too much of a halle berry size hour glass figure to work in the booty shaking clubs. But I worked at onyx long time ago when they first opened and I could only make money off the white men that came in. The black guys are just not interested if you don't have that big ass no matter how beautiful u are. I'm sorry but it is what it is. Lol... So I avoid those places but because all star weekend is almost here. I'm going to get in at Onyx so I can work that weekend. I'm just getting back into the club scene because school is killing me so I need to make money in this horrible economy. But thankful for me I graduate in May. Also if there's any women in NYC who would like to find a nice apartment together in manhattan next yr, please let me know. Because that's where I'll be moving to, to start my career moving. :)

that dreams video actually discouraged me...my ass ain't nothing like that and black men wont throw dollars if your ass isnt a cupholder. Here in the NYC area white clubs are hard to make money in if the customer likes white girls usually thats why they choose an majority white club right? and urban clubs want the super twerkers who lick the back of their knee and wiggle their ass at once. I'm a newb i'm already feeling like i will either be rejected for my lack of ass and flexibility or the darkness of my skin.

You have to go into the black clubs such as Onyx who has a diverse group of men and girls. The white men and small amt of blk guys will tip you on appearance and not how big your butt is. I'd never do a hardcore all blk club because I'm too much of a pageant queen. Lol

Welcome to the wonderful world of stripping- chocolate edition!
Seriously though, slim dancers still can make bank. You'll just have to have a thick skin and find your niche. Get in shape, meaning do your squats etc to get as much of a bubble as your body will allow- and get out there. Many slimmer dancers learn some pole moves to help give them an edge. More and more customers (male, female) come in to watch a stage show full of pole tricks. That's a plus for the ones that do, aggravation for ones like me who just walk around the shit. Good luck.

Does anyone know of any black clubs in Los Angeles other than Starz and King Henry VIII?
I was supposed to audition at Starz but they turned me away at the door. It could be that I'm just too thick, I asked a friend of mine who goes there as a customer regularly about it and he said that they've been hiring a lot of skinny girls lately. I'm not fat but I'm certainly not very skinny. If I had known that I would've never gone anyway.
And I might audition at King Henry tomorrow but that place is so raggedy looking on the outside, not sure if I want to set foot in there.
Sooo, any other suggestions for a budding dancer trying to start out this week or the next? I'm fine with topless or nude but no pasty places. My nipples are pierced and I don't think I could find pasties big enough to cover them anyway lol

I got hired at starz but wen i did the amateur night the gurls didnt look like they were making NO money. The stage tips are pitiful like $5 total. And i saw almost no girls getting dances. Ugh. Kh8 and Rons are all nearby i hear those are the most popular. But i dont think the girls make much there. If you want to make ATL money try secret sundayz or sin city you can email them your picture and if they like you they call you in to audition. I dont know whats up with the la scene i tried secret sundayz but they never replied back to me after i emailed them. I guess they didnt like my look. They have alot of non black skinny girls even tho its a black club. There were a few thick black girls but their transplants from starz and kh8.
