Hello!
I live in the Metro-Detroit area of Michigan, and to be honest most of the strip clubs in my area are located in Detroit itself. When I initially embarked on my journey and decided I wanted to dance and work as a clean dancer, I found myself struggling to find a club that met all of my needs and expectations.
After much research (and a lot of help from fellow SW members) I landed on a club about an hour from my house that is really clean and doesn't have a problem with drugs. I'm still pregnant right now, and was actually hospitalized with a Vasa Previa, so I won't be dancing for several months still, but I was lucky enough to find somewhere I know will meet my needs. As a matter of fact, I wound up taking my friend to an audition at the club (Deja Vu in Ypsilanti, MI) and she landed herself a spot and started working the same night! She's been nothing but satisfied with the customers, management and money, so I feel that my homework truly paid off.
My advice to you is to ask yourself what kind of distance you are willing to drive. Personally, I LOVE driving, and I also LOVE the city of Ypsilanti and it's surrounding cities. The driving is about 90% freeway, so I can sit back, listen to the radio and put on my cruise control. I also like the idea of working an hour from my house because it lessens the chance I will have a run-in with someone I know and don't want to know about my dancing career. The biggest reason I am willing to make the drive is because it is one of the only clean clubs in my area, and has been for a long, long time.
If you are willing to drive an hour then you may be able to expand your search and find a clean club in your area.
ive worked at dirty clubs before, and i didnt do extras.
you dont have to do extras. you will have to have an extra good hustle though to make as much money as the girls who are providing extra services.
and i dont think all the girls in LA are doing extras. maybe a lot are, but not all.
Not all do extras but a lot do. Just gotta not give up and understand that there are guys out there that don't want extras. I danced for one guy before and he was actually into me more because I wasn't trying t do sexual favors to him. He knew some of the girls I work with were dirty.
There are many guys out there who just want to be entertained, and not just through their penis! You just have to stand your ground, perfect your skill, and if you can't make money-switch clubs! The club does make a big difference. If the clientele is only wanting extras, then you're out of luck. But switching to a club with less extras will make it easier for you to make money.
i'm curious to know what constitutes extras in your mind in la? i work in la and dont do extras and haven't had a problem making money...and i don't see girls doing extras...but then again i'm never really paying attention and our ld rooms are fairly private. the club i work at the guys are actually pretty respectful, i've had guys ask me my boundaries and i tell them and they'll give the usual 'well this dancer does such and such but it's ok' and my bouncers are very good at enforcing when a guy does cross my boundaries and making the guy still pay. maybe you're just not at the right club. i hustle hard, and sometimes i don't get more dances but i know i'll just have to make up for it by getting dances with another guy.
I was a clean dancer, didn't do exrtas unless you count letting a custy put there hands on my ankes/lower calf, but I have heard stories from friends that have told me their boyfriends went to my club and had girls have sex with them WITHOUT the custy asking.
I was completely oblivious to THAT (although I knew girls alllowed guys to touch them in intimate areas.
However, I still made good money. I looked good (not skanky), had a fairly decent hustle I guess, smiled a lot, enjoyed my stage time, and acted like I was the hottest dancer in the whole club and YOU had to have me dance for you.
Bumping this.._)
Bitch-fest time.
You do NOT have to do extras to make money in a strip club.
If you want to perform sexual favors for money, then take your business outside of the strip club and quit ruining our fucking business. There is absolutely no shame in escorting, but there is a whole lot of shame in bringing down AN ENTIRE INDUSTRY because YOU want to make more money.
Time after time again I'm seeing amazing entertainers quitting and leaving the industry because more and more is being done for less and less. Yes, it's the state of the economy, but I blame the selfish "dancers" who are promoting and being involved in this trend by performing favors.
Men are coming in expecting sex instead of entertainment. This is an ENTERTAINMENT profession and the extras girls are doing nothing more than turning our businesses into brothels.
I BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE THE BIGGEST REASONS THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SHUT US DOWN!
Just stop it, damnit!
Agreed. As an escort previously it also hurts us too. When there is a stripper willing to perform stuff for cheap and/or not using protection, not screening, safety in general, etc. it sets up a bad precedent. It just hurts everyone all around.
As a recently new dancer who started in a club with NO EXTRAS.. maybe otc extras it makes me really nervous to see girls doing ridiculous things WAY WAY WAY to cheap.. I debate sucking up the cold weather and moving back to Massachusetts vs staying in TX hoping I will make money.. or start making better money.. I get really frustrated when I walk into a club and I see dollar bills going in vaginas & the dressing room bathrooms stinking of dirty vagina.. I'm starting to wonder if there are any clean clubs in the state of Texas.. everyone says the lodge the lodge.. there is tons of extras in their too.. their just more secretive as in all of the higher end clubs i have been in..
Dirty clubs everywhere, it seems
pretty much i have heard of a few clean clubs my home club is a clean club.. regreting moving away from that.. when i go back there the girls always tell me how they want to go to dallas to dance & im like yeah.. well we can trade places... i made more money in the clean club..!!!!!! I think it gets hard when a state is overcrowded with clubs & overcrowded with girls.. i think the do anything factor kicks in.. but it doesnt have too be like this.. more females need to take a stand... I would rather work in a quality atmosphere with quality girls with quality customers.. !
I will put it this way. I work in Detroit - one of THE worst in the country in terms of extras. There are only two clubs in the metro Detroit area (out of about 50) that are relatively extras-free. One of them has been extremely slow lately and the other is only busy on game days. I've never tried out either though, and I really want to. I have never done extras and never will. I am surrounded by girls who do extras every night. The club I currently work at is about 50/50 on a decent night, and that's pretty good for Detroit. The club down the street is a complete brothel and I've worked at Detroit clubs where me being non-extras was in the VERY small minority. And guess what? I'm a top earner and always have been. I will not let the extras girls bring me down, they don't matter. I make as much or more than them on any given night. It sucks because I have to hustle way harder for the money, but I don't mind having to hustle harder as long as I get to keep my morals.
