Re: what do strippers make per night?!?

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
If you do not even know what extras are, I think you may be too innocent to try dancing. Why do you want to be a dancer? Do you still live at home? I do not think most on this board are going to tell you what they make. Try reading some previous posts though for an idea. It def varies from girl to girl.

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
Depends on the location, the club, and you! What are you wanting to do as a dancer.. just dance on stage? Do lap dances, go to VIP rooms for more personal and up close contact? There are all types of dancers. I agree, read here first and educate yourself. And make your decision. You say you would like to try dancing, can i give advice, yes. Please don't break any laws!! Thats not what a dancer is all about. There are prostitutes who fill that 'slot.'
Pamela Sorry forgot.... a good dancer can make excellent money, again depending.

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
I see your from California. Check the law on dancing. Some places you may need a license. Im in NY so I dont know to much. But me and you have something in comment we are under 21. Check to see what clubs want 18 & over.
Checkout www.stripclublist.com check for clubs in your area. Check out there website's if they have. Then go check the clubs out with and escort mean a guy some clubs are like that. Good luck. ;)
Also read the tread juice bars.

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
Caliprincess, please disregard the first 2 replies you got to your question , just because you become a dancer DOESN'T mean you have to give "EXTRAS" to make money!!
I have heard on this board before that most dancers would rather the stripper have a better name in the world today, but with answers like the first 2 gross ones, there is little chance of it happening in the near future!
Yes, this is the sex industry, but being a dancer DOESN'T mean you have to give it out.
It's the scum that do give out the "EXTRAS " ( and that are bringing the law down on the industry even harder) that spoil it for the ones that are NOT out there prostituting themselves and just trying to make a living.
So if you are new to the industry, and didn't know what extras are... GOOD !! keep it that way you will get asked for them but just say NO ! sorry, I'm a dancer not a prostitute.
You will make more money in the long run.

WOW I know you said sorry to me. But I think Holly brought up something important. Raids. Any club good or bad could be raided. To stop activities that shouldn't. Melonie would explain why she said that. I dont think she's is not telling her to have sex. In this industry people need to know all the risk that they are taking. Being arrested from a raided is one and guys asking you to do extra. I been offered $250,000 to give a blow job on video but that's not me. But other girls would jump at that chance. That's what wrong with being in the sex industry, people think you would do any just cause of what we do. I have told lots of customers that I just dance but it's not going to stop them from asking. You just have to be strong Cali.

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
I thought the explanation was obvious ... a girl from California was asking about earnings potential in nude clubs. Since California is home to some of the nastiest nude 'extras' clubs in the country, and also has some of the slowest non 'extras' nude clubs, her decision whether or not she was willing to do 'extras" would make a 4 to 1 difference in her probable California nude club earnings. Without knowing which side of the situation she planned on working, there was absolutely no way I could begin to answer her question. I would leave a judgement as to whether or not a particular girl wants to give "extras" entirely up to her, but in the case of California I can point out that there will be a vast disparity in earnings potential.
I apparently made an incorrect assumption that any girl from California who is thinking about dancing and who is specifically asking about nude clubs has heard of the Mitchell Bro's O'Farrell Theatre, Market Street Cinema etc. since these and other California nude "extras" clubs are so "infamous". MBOT was the subject of a recent first run Hollywood Movie, 'the Dark Bro's', starring Emilio Estavez and Charlie Sheen, making it the most famous dance club in the USA (if it wasn't already).

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
Those clubs are also all in San Fransisco...the rest of CA is different...

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
OK, those were the most famous, so here are some others ...
4 play in West LA ... Jet Strip in Lennox (outside LA city limits by LAX) ... Bare Elegance in Englewood ... Spearmint Rhino in City of Industry or Oxnard ... Hawaii Theatre in City of Industry ... Tropical Lei in Upland, and the list goes on and on. Fritz, That's It in Bellflower would have also made the list last year but i've heard that the recent and repeated busts have finally forced them to clean up their act. But I hear a new club called Flesh in San Bernardino was just opened by the same owners as Tropical Lei and and Hawaii Theatre which should make up for the lost mileage.
Sure I agree that there are some nude clubs in California that are totally zero contact (i.e. San Diego). There are obviously other nude clubs in California that are "extremely high mileage"(i.e. SF, near LA, and City of Industry). And of course there are many clubs that fall somewhere in between. But my point, that earnings potential is directly proportional to the degree of "mileage" that a dancer is willing to provide, is undeliably true, with one exception. Like NYC, that exception is the handful of upscale top shelf "show" clubs, where a dancer who is a "10" can earn major bucks. Also like NYC, "8"s need not apply at these upscale top shelf "show" clubs.
Of course I haven't made a trip to California myself since last year because my accountant "ordered" me not to work in that state after the new dance club reporting law went into effect, so I'm relying on tidbits I hear from California dancers and models for the most recent info.
I also agree wholeheartedly with another poster's assessment, that if the California girl asking the original question is not aware of "extras" she is probably much too naive to start dancing. This is particularly true in a state like California, where lots of weird s#!t can happen and where a 5 mile difference in club location can mean the difference between squeaky clean and virtual whorehouse due to difference in local laws and law enforcement.

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
There are a lot of variables that go into dancer earnings
#1 obviously your looks and ethnic background.
2. Your personality
#3. Where you work, how may days a week you work, approaching EVERY customer and being persistent (but not annoying ) in trying to talk them into dances.
All in all yourearnings couldbe anywhere from 0 after paying your daily fee to work in the club, per dance fees to the club if applicable, and tipping the DJ $10 or 10% of your earnings.
First hand experience is often better than what we tell you.
Tell us what area you live in, San Diego, LA, Bay Area, or
Sacramento, and we can steer you to clubs to try out.
Personaly I would recommend starting out in Arizona in Yuma, or Tucson if you are serious about gettig experience as you can be 19 there to dance in full bar clubs and you will learn how to work the crowd there as all the girls approach all the customers for dances. Once you gain experience, you can go fromthere.

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
Add this to my last post. You may AVERAGE $125-$250 per night working in the areas I recommended or whereyou live. Of course you may have some better nights but there are A LOT more dancers working per shift nowadays and that has cut the earnings down.
Somewhere in that range is what I would anticipate on the West Coast in todays market and of course dependent on the club you get in. A few clubs might offer a little higher AVERAGE earnings.
Here is a sample week:
Monday- $200
Tuesday- $350
Thursday- $50
Saturday-$100
Four day average $175
Your money WILL vary in this business and the business IS declining now all over the country.

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
ANGELA! some support - bless your beautiful peeler heart - I AGREE 100% a burlesque entertainer and a hooker are two different things! EXTRAS were never an option as far as I am concerned if I wanted to be a freaking whore I would! Oh man I keep getting blasted by these so called dancers that DO these extras, for judging them --well listen I dont stand on seedy street corners stripping - so dont come in my strip clubs hooking! WHew, I cant believe what dancing has come to. ANyway glad to see even though you are on here as a guest that someone out there still holds true.
Anyway the original question, stop in at a few clubs take your man with you, talk to the girls or ask to speak with the manager or deejay, they can fill u in.

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
Leigh and Angela, please understanding that I was not advocating that any girl should provide 'extras". I was only stating the obvious, that higher contact levels usually directly correlate with higher earning potential - with the exception of upscale zero contact show clubs. However, I also tried to point out that not every dancer will be offered the opportunity to work in upscale zero contact show clubs, which now usually have plenty of '10's knocking on their door so they can afford to tell the '8's and '9's "don't call us, we'll call you!". You guys may be '10's and be able to take for granted that you can earn decent money without dealing with the issue of contact, but for most '8's like me it's a whole different world out there in regard to zero contact earning potential. I still refuse to provide 'extras' though, and I am willing to travel to different states to find clubs where high earning potential plus manageable contact levels can still be found in the same club!

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
Tell you what Cali,
i am a stage dancer, i do NO lap dancing or vip's. I make excellent Money dancing, but it was a long hard road to getting there You have to work hard for it. Keep your head straight! DANCE! Stripers are dancers, for gods sake. We are not whores! The word "EXTRA" should not even come up when speaking of dancing. Any good dancer, or a lady who "is a dancer" will NOT do an extra. Whores do extras. They should not even be compared to one another. If we don't offer it...it can't be an EXTRA. Follow club rules, if you see extras being performed....bad news. I don't want to go to jail. It has been MANY years for me dancing. And i keep a clear head, i see a girl sucking off a guy, i turn her in...NOT IN THE CLUB I WORK IN!!!! NO WAY~
Pamela >:(

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
Sapphire an extra in a strip club is an act that is illegal. (that has been the one topic commonly brought up on this board, with meaning an extra.) It is illegal just the same if everyone is doing extras. Oh hun, we ladies call anyone who practices illegal acts whores if we wish in the clubs we work in.

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
wow..........a lotta replies!! well i have to say i dont think im interested in any "extras", but definetly interested in dancing! my friend is a dancer in Los Angeles and claims shes bringing in over $500 a night working 5 days a week, which i find hard to believe, but who knows? anyway i just moved to the san diego area which is known to have quite strict laws when it comes to dancing....sapphire you said you were located in SD...would you mind reccomending some good clubs to me? i just moved out on my own and my job as a sales associate just isin't my kind of fun! i think dancing sounds like fun, although i'm sure not nearly as glamourous as it seems.....if anyone has any info about the average rates in SD i'd really appreciate it.. ;)

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
As discussed in another thread, I consider anything outside of the law or club rules to be an extra. If a dancer brushes her nipple across the customer's face or presses a breast to his hand or pays extra attention to his groin, that's an extra, because the club wouldn't approve of it. It may be on the lower end of the "extra" scale, but it's an extra.
-
Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
I understand what you say merely_lurking.
I dance in central Florida, and alot of us girls call an 'extra' any performance initiated by the dancer that is not within club rules. Yes, i have posted on this same topic before. A girl gives an extra in hopes of getting more money or a repeat customer. Clubs do vary. I agree. My posting got buried before you came along i believe.

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
Caliprincess,
You asked what we generally make. I can't give youa ballpark figure, as it would only be based on what I have personally earned.
Just realize that earnings are entirely variable, based on your location, your attitude, your appearance, and your abilities.

Re: what do strippers make per night?!?
McCain is right. I only work in upscale or second tier club. I set a goal for myself. In an upscale 500 and up. Second tier 200 and up. But I'm in NYC. I never been to California but I know they must have great clubs. Try to not go local clubs or underground stripclubs, most of the time thay have bad lighting, and is very smoky, basically it looks nasty.
