Miami, Atlanta, or Los Angeles
I'm thinking of relocating to either these 3 cities.
Miami; similar to Los Angeles, but it might be more booming; clubs don't close until 6 am (a huge plus)
Atlanta; seems to be a nice college city, but unsure if the industry is there....
Los Angeles; seems like it died down.
anyone have any ideas about these 3 cities.
to be honest, Miami is my top choice, but Atlanta and Los Angeles are equal.

Re: Miami, Atlanta, or Los Angeles
My impression just from reading threads on here is that L.A. is a hellhole for dancing, and Miami is extremely seasonal.

Re: Miami, Atlanta, or Los Angeles
I would personally go for Miami as well. At least it's good seasonally! Atlanta might be OK but I'm just not ready to live there.

Re: Miami, Atlanta, or Los Angeles
Out of all of those (and having been to, though not worked all of them) all three, my pick would be Atlanta. Huge town. Money in the clubs. Miami is seasonal and there's a LOT of extras. I know there's extras everywhere but my girlfriend wanted to cry after a few weeks of doing really well-- it's like all the guys finally figured out she wasn't going to suck dick or fuck in the VIP rooms so she stopped making really good money. LA sucks, don't go there unless you have another job and you're transitioning out of dancing.
Atlanta does have high permit prices, but you are close to a lot of different options if you like to strip trip which makes it an easy pick in my book because everyone has slumps after working in the same town after awhile. Miami you'd be extremely limited when business slowed down, and the clubs just aren't very good in CA as a rule. On the flip side, private party dancing in CA can be a good source of income, and you're not too far from Las Vegas though that requires a sheriff's card and business license.

Hotlanta seems like the best option. But I wouldn't go because of the weather/bugs...quality of life should be a consideration for you, too! :)

Re: Miami, Atlanta, or Los Angeles
Best bet would be between Miami and Atlanta...I would leave L.A. out...I heard it sucks

To be honest, I think it would probably be the best option.
I'm Latina, but I look arabic, but if your surrounded by your own "kind" then they will assume you're that. Supply/demand. Miami has more latinas then Atlanta, and I think because I look exotic I would probably make more money in Atlanta. Atlanta will appreciate my look more.
Also, college is also important to me in the long run, and so I want to go to a place where higher education is more valued... Atlanta wins that too.
At least that's my theory. And Atlanta has more money than Miami. In general.
but it's all theories....

still Miami clubs don't close till 6 am, but I am not sure if that's important or not.

Not important. Don't let that be your deciding factor if Atlanta has a good school for your career path. Look at which schools you're most interested in going to and go there so you have time to establish residency and get in-state tuition costs.

Re: Miami, Atlanta, or Los Angeles
I've never danced in any of the cities, but from what I hear & from what I've read from many, many threads on here is it is rough if your a clean dancer in CA or miami. I've read & heard good things about Atlanta. My money would be on Atlanta.

Re: Miami, Atlanta, or Los Angeles
Miami suckssssssss dont come here :( i hate it have been livivng here for almost a year and im about to leave to cali for good :)
-
Re: Miami, Atlanta, or Los Angeles
ugh save yourself the stress and DO NOT COME TO LA unless you have $$$ saved & a back up plan aside from dancing. I worked out here for 5 years & it was so mentally draining just dancing in itself!!! I'm actually getting ready to live on the road & leave this black hole they call the city of dreams. Everything out here sucks from the men to the clubs to the jobs- ugh :/ Most of the clubs out here will take half your $$ so unless you are an extreme hustler or providing extras I wouldn't do it. To each their own though.

Re: Miami, Atlanta, or Los Angeles
You can also travel to SC or NC from Atlanta on weekends. Really good money and clubs in Columbia SC typically close a lot later also, some around 5 or 6 am. It's about a 3 hr commute but worth it if you want later hours and great earning potential.

Re: Miami, Atlanta, or Los Angeles
Atlanta, you can def drive to other places, too as opposed to Miami.
-
Re: Miami, Atlanta, or Los Angeles
I like Atlanta as a city, even without the consideration of dancing conditions. But, I live in Florida, so bugs and heat are actually worse here.

Re: Miami, Atlanta, or Los Angeles
Yup, out of the cities u have named, atl is the best option, it is hard work dancing in atl, dances are 10$ and girls are thirsty as hell, on every famous, (any guy) with money so hard its embarrassing but hey, if u dont mind workin ur ass off and being sore as hell the next day theres $$ to be made in atl(I know from personal experience). I have heard the other cities suck balls for dancing, there extras cities that u will have to suck d**k in to make $$ and eff that, gross! but atl $$ goes down when it gets hot, like half as much as fall, winter and spring so thats no good, but better than miami, only ok in winter and la never good, cuz of all the nasty cheap hoes. HTH

Sc is also seasonal in a way cuz it also sucks in summer but great the rest of time just like atl. SC is just easier $$, u can get paid 3 times what u get paid in atl for a dance plus its cleaner without all the thirstiness of the girls.

Re: Miami, Atlanta, or Los Angeles
Having lived in two, and worked in all three of these cities, I say Atlanta for a few reasons:
1. The extras are ridiculous in Miami. If you won't give a $20 BJ, don't bother.
2. LA is dead. Girls have covered this pretty well above.
3. The state of Georgia just recieved a HUGE tax incentive for television and film. As a result, people in production are pouring into Atlanta for work. This is pretty recent, but clubs are/will be getting busier during the next few months with industry people. Just don't believe them when they say they'll make you a movie star for a peek at your lady bits ;)
4. It's easier to travel in Atlanta. There are lots of small towns in the area where you can try out different clubs for a night or two. Sometimes you end up making bank by touring the area...

Re: Miami, Atlanta, or Los Angeles
It's kind of funny that I've never been to any of these cities and yet called "the answer" at the beginning of this thread.
That says nothing about me and everything about how phenomenal SW is as a resource. Searches are our friends! :)

Re: Miami, Atlanta, or Los Angeles
I'm agreeing to ATL too even though I've never worked there before either :p gives me a reason to at least try it out though. I will say though that Hollywood, ca clubs were good to me during my "new girl" phase, if I haven't worked there in awhile, I'll do great then back to blah after my 2 week trial run LOL
