Why and how did you do it?
5 days in a row. I had just started working and really enjoyed the money. Now, I can only work 3 before I really start to get sick of it.
10. yes i was very burned out and hated men by the end of it.
7 days, 60hrs in total. It was January and loads of girls were taking time off. I was burnt out but rich by the end of it.
I did 9 in Feb 2009. The Cardinals had made the playoffs and the game was in town one weekend, then the golfers showed up so I worked all week and the following weekend for the Phoenix Open.
If I hadn't been averaging four figures a night back then I would have taken a break.
10 - same time as Athena but I worked more hours because she would hit the gym & I went to work earlier. We were contracted for 10 days. The house fee for all ten was $1k, $800 if you paid it in the first shift - which I did. Technically we could have taken a day off, but had to pay the same house fee... so we worked 10 days to have kept the daily house fee down.
16 days at the beginning of last winter season. There were only 4 or 5 of us working and it was quiet so we worked until New Years, had New Years off then started working 6 night a week. It helps that we drink for free and our boss is a fan of jagerbombs (plenty of red bull to keep us going)
6 days. I was new to it and wanted to get better in it. It was summer and I wasnt in full-time school.
5 - I was getting back into it after a break, and needed the cash hard-core.
Now, I can do about 3 days in a row at most.
There are girls at my work who are there literally EVERY DAY. One woman has been working 6 days/week for YEARS. Hardly ever takes time off.
9 Days during Mardi Gras in New Orleans @ Barely Legal and Hustler. I made kick ass money fast and quickly that I didn't mind. I would work from 630pm to about 6-7am. Sleep was glorious afterwards lol.
19, and the only reason I stopped was because I got sick. I was saving to go to a wedding across the country, & dance out there a few weeks. I would never work that many days straight ever again. It's brutal.
seriously I can't pull more than 3 days in a row either and when I do I have to take 2 or 3 days off. I need to work more because the money is...decent at my club and I would probably be doing well if I could work more than 3-4 days a week but I can't bring myself to do it! there are some days where I really need the money but dragging my butt to the club seems like more trouble than it's worth
I didn't drink one drop of alcohol, I did yoga for 30 min every morning,
& drank a lot of green tea. On days I was really tired, I went in a little later. If it was really hard, I drank a red bull. I was just in a head space that I was in it to win it, & never noticed how exhausted I really was until I got sick.
I never drink at work either. it makes me all loopy and dehydrated. that's some solid advice thank you!!! :]
I think I worked like a month straight once because I really liked my club at the time, and hated being at home.
Probably not the best reason... :/
4. That was ... oh .... like one or two times. It's usually 2-3 in a row.
I want to try bigger chunks,but really don't do so well mentally after 3 days.
Uhm. I think one time I work 3 days in a row. Friday-Sunday.
But normally I wouldn't do more than 2.
Don't think I really need to answer "how I did it" Lol... it's not exactly an impressive number.
I always work 5-6 nights a week. It's much easier for me to stay in the zone when I work heaps. I eat really healthy, lot of vegies and fish every day, I don't drink or smoke. I don't have a day job or family though, so it's very easy for me to work that much. And I'm saving for university so I've got a lot of motivation!
This topic has actually tempted me to try to work as many nights in a row as possible lol. I might do it in a few weeks, aiming for 13 nights in a row. I think the most I've done so far is like 9 nights in a row.

7 and it was hell.
5 or 6. would switch into machine mode after 4th.
theres a girls who works every day but she doesnt do anything on stage just walks circles around the pole.
i remember another dancer telling me it was her 11th shift in a row but i also recall her being on cocaine during the last 2 at least
I've been there before too. Worked 6 nights a week for a couple of months, that was how I came to realise I hate living by myself.Quote:
