That's insanely high. Hell maybe if you made 2000-2500-3000 everynight but those days are long gone.
Way too high and then discounted NUDE dances to top it all of. Just wow.
That's crazy!!!! I dance Ina topless club in Milwaukee and the house fee is 30/40$ after tipping mom and dj I spend about 50-60 $ in tip outs. For this area that's nuts I'd look for a new club
Ultimately, it boils down to simple math. On the one side you have clubs that charge high house fees, but allow the dancer to keep 100% of her private dance sales. So in terms of round numbers, paying a $200 house fee versus selling 40 private dances at $20 each allows you to walk out of the club with a net $800 - $200 = $600. On the other side you have clubs that charge low / no house fees, but take 25-33-50% of the money customers spent on private dances. So in terms of the same round numbers, paying a $50 house fee versus selling the same 40 private dances with $13 from each dance being kept by the dancer with the other $7 going to the club nets you $520 - $50 =$470. Of course, if the girl is selling 20 private dances instead of 40, the numbers realign to near equal ... $400 - $200 = $200 in the case of the high house fee club, versus $260 - $50= $210 in the low house fee high percentage club. And in an extreme case of a 'marginal' dancer only selling 10 private dances, the high house fee club would result in $200-$200 = zero, while the low house fee high percentage club would result in $130 - $50= $80. In general, paying high house fees in exchange for the dancer being able to keep most or all of her private dance and VIP money favors high earning hard working hustlers. On the other side, low house fees but allowing the club to keep a big cut of her private dance and VIP money favors average dancers.
Thus for an individual dancer and an individual club, it's necessary to do the comparative math. For years I was told that I was 'crazy' to pay the $200+ house fees charged by Manhattan clubs. But in the final analysis, I walked out of those clubs with more net money than if I had worked in a lower house fee club that kept a sizeable cut of my private dance sales money.
