Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
I have been a dancer in Philly for about a 2 years. There doesn't seem to be much $$$$$$$$$ to be made. Maybe its the clubs I've worked. I just left the last place I was working because the $$$$ was way to inconsistant. I'd like to take home after house fees, dj, etc. at least $200 a shift but it seems hard. I know it's not my looks because I always get told that I am a beautiful girl. Sometimes It brings my self esteem down though, when you a are really pretty and because of cheap guys you go home with $30. Can anyone give me some advice? ??? ???

Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
The money will always be inconsistent as a dancer. it's the nature of the business! This is probably more true during the summer because Philly is one of those cities where people leave town for the weekends.
Anyway, what were the other girls at these clubs making? If a dancer has been there for awhile and isn't making at least $200, it's time to look on. This business is hard sometimes. Don't judge yourself by your income!
I work at Signatures in Philadelphia and have been there for a year. There is definitely money to be made there, even though I hear many girls complain that they aren't making any. In all seriousness, I don't think they are really trying hard enough.

Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
Inconsistency is a part of the industry, but if you are not taking home what you need to be bringing in or are working a totally dead club then move on. DD, Signatures, Risque and a couple of others are relatively reliable in Philly for take home amounts but you can still walk out with pocket money rather than what we all want....

PS: Risque has been doing quite well during day and evening even with the economic situation - says a great girlfriend who has one of those never-ending upbeat, bubbly personalities that comes even when the feet are sore.....lol

Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
Have you tried Cheerleaders??? I heard the money is great. Not to mention that it is very close to the stadiums, so anytime thier is a concert or sports event they get alot of buisness. I went one night with a friend of mine to check it out. We stopped by after a concert we went to..It was a tuesday night and it was packed, we had to stand the hole time....

I didn't mean to stick that sad face there....

Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
Cheerleaders is way high mileage. I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner. Guys are allowed to touch and girls don't have to have their feet on the floor. I'm guessing this is because it's a bikini club.
-
Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
Cheerleaders was really packed? Interesting. It is on the route I take to visit my parents, so I pass it fairly frequently at different times of the day. I dont ever remember seeing a lot of cars in the lot. It always struck me as being a locals-only type of place.
-
Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
I'm serious when I said it was packed and no seats for us, and this was a Tuesday night around 10:00pm. Granted I have only been there one time. Anyway, I do agree that it is not a good club to start out in, but as far as top notch clubs in Philly it is one of the best well known.

Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
hey guys, I would just like to add that the dances there are out of control. They are some serious friction dances. I don't mind a little grinding, but if I do it till the guy cums in his pants, that to me is nasty. Yeah, sometimes they cum in their pants from a little rub or too but I went to audition there and when I saw their dances, I changed my mind. Where do you girls work? I work at Oasis right now. Not a good place to make $$$$$$. Its a very beautiful club, just bad location, and they quality of girls they hire could be better. They need more pretty classy women to work there. They clientle in there has seriously dropped. There were shirt and tie guys, now there are less and they are starting to get like purple orchid people in there.

To Katt.....
Are you reffering to Cheerleaders?? Just woundering because I am go to audition, and if it is like that I might reconsider.
-
Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
yes, I am refering to Cheerleaders. Its a bikini bar, so The dances can have more contact, and i think so can the men. I'm not 100% sure though. This is what a lot of people have told me.
-
Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
I want to audition no more than topless right now in a philly club.I never danced in one before so i would like a nice club with little to no contact..so i can get a feel for the stage,shows, and interacting with everyone .Any suggestions?
-
Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
I love Signatures!!! They renovated like crazy about 3 years ago i think and the place look great. If you want to make $$$$ try Delilah's. It's a very unique operation but it's cool and the girls are all very pretty! I started at Risque' 5 years ago and things in this business have changed even since then but if it's anything like it was, I would reccommend it! I loved it there.
-
Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
Signatures is great for new girls. I work there now. The best part is no house fee, so it's perfect to get a feel of things. There is money to be made there, but....
The problem with Signatures (and I'm not sure if this is in other local clubs) is that the dancer to customer ratio is pretty crappy a lot of times, so you will need to hustle hard. Delilah's advertises big time and I know they get large crowds, but you will be competing with the city's top shelf dancers.
I've heard good things about Oasis too.
-
Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
I know a girl who works at oasis. She likes it but she said business is kinda icky right now. Not much going on. I say.... GO FOR SIGNATURES. It's fun. LOVE the set up and the "no house fee" deal is GREAT!
-
Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
I used to work at cheerleaders and all I can say is that when I left for the night, I felt like a whore. The guys are used to being able to touch wherever they want and the girls are basically dry fucking them. I worked there for a while and I was always one of the "sweet nice" girls who didn't do all that. Have you ever read on the strip club list website about the guys asking if particular dancers are HIP? It means hand in pants...I just got so fed up with pushing guys hands away that I left..I have also seen guys fingering the girls and I have seen a few d*cks out too.It is not a reall classy place to work.
-
Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
Thank you girls. The no house fee is good for me because I can get the hang of things without putting forth money yet. How is Signatures with contact... as well as the other clubs with fees that ya's mentioned. The posts i see about cheerleaders and dry sex has really got me wondering .. so are these places low on contact. I really want to ge the stage experiance and have fun,but will work with the lapdances and all if its not like what is explained with cheerleaders..
-
Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
Cheerleaders is different than most of the clubs in the city because it's a bikini bar, so more contact is permitted. Conversely, the all-nude clubs are very strict about no contact.
Signatures and many other clubs are topless (well, pasties, actually) and there is moderate contact, but the customer is never allowed to touch the dancers during a dance and girls have to have at least one foot on the floor...at least that's for my club.
I've worked at Signatures for a year and a half....love it. It's very clean, low tolerance for dancer bullshit, nice dressing room, managers are nice and supprtive of newbies. It's got a great location....walking distance to all thie nice hotels. Tip out is $10 for the housemom and $10 for the DJ, so you will have to pay something, but it's not a whole lot, especially if you work during the day when there's no housemom and the house doesn't take a cut of your lap dances.

Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
Hey Emily...do you work during the day? If so how is it?
-
Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
no, I work at night.
Day seems like it'd be okay though since you don't have to pay the house for dances (night shift it's $5 per dance) and champagne courts are half price, so you sell a lot more. Normally they are $400 per half hour, and day or night, dancer gets half. They are pretty hard to sell at night.
Again, the location is good....right in the middle of a busy, affluent business district. I've considered day shift, but I just can't bear the thought of driving the Schulykill during the day. I also like the hustle and bustle at night.

Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned Dangerous Cuves in North Philly or Club Risque in Bucks County - both are very nice places that do well. Also they're both locals places which means that you can build a stable of regular customers, which is where the steady money is. Downtown places force you to rely more on one timers, which means it will always be very variable and hard work. I'm a customer by the way so I may not know as much about it as you all.
-
Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
Your outcome of money is all in the hustle not based entirely on looks. Try to talk to a regular patron who you feel comfortable with about how he likes to be approached. Men are always willing to give women helpful advice on this matter since that why they frequent strip clubs. Watch the girls who are always banking and ask thier advice but be choosy you are their competition.

Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
I'm curious if anyone has been to 7th Heaven. It's owned by the same guys who own Divas (the old club in Philly and the one here in PR). There is one girl who worked here who's now working there, and she says she's doing great, but she's always been a moneymaker, so I'm interested to know if it's a good place to work or not. I know the owners so I know about how mgmt would be, but I'm interested in how the clientele and $$ is. Anyone?
-
Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
7th Heaven is a dump! It's out in the suburbs, so it's a local's bar. The area it's in isn't very affluent, although in about 10 miles any direction, it can be nice. It's right in the middle of a not-so-great residential area. They will hire just about anyone, from the looks of the girls.
I went there a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday night with a friend...says he goes there sometimes. It was putrid. I will say this though....none of the girls really seemed to hustle that much. They were whacked out, talking to each other or other staff, or just bad hustlers. And it's not just like they weren't talking to us. They just weren't working the room. There was probably great money potential there. I kept thinking that if I was working that night hat I'd make pretty good money, only because of the other dancers (looks and attitudes) and the ratio of customers to dancers (although it was a Saturday night).
I had checked it out from a dancer POV when I first started dancing and I saw the dancer's area. It's very small and kind of dirty. I just wasn't moved by it at all.

Re: Clubs to make serious $$$$$ in Philly?
Wow that's kind of surprising - because of the club here, I was under the impression it would be a decent place!
