I think the summer was pretty rough, with only one really good $1700 night. I'm afraid that the economy will get even rougher. I hope football season means money like it has all the other years.

Summer is lousy every year, every place. The autumn months always bring more money so don't sweat it. Trust me, your concerns have been shared by thousands of dancers every year. It will get better.
Florida brings in the snow birds, and "dirty old men!" Lol. (kidding)
Football season does help..alot.
Summers here we slow some, but have spring break, and lots of attractions that bring people in, as well as we are a retirement state!
Lots going, especially in south Fl.

I'm wiggin out i made $0 last night. this industry sucks. i' am depressed too.
In my personal experience,I have found that I make much better money during the fall season.On top of the kids going back to school,the convention season picks up also.Not to mentoin,it's no longer hot as hell neither.
I got a convention for ya in my pants.....
KIDDING...KIDDING....don't everybody go wiggin' out on me.
?
I made $260 last night at a club where I usually make $600. Everyone seems to be in the hole right now :(
the weekend after Labor Day will be good, and then smoother after that.
The weekdays immediately following Labor Day are historically bad.
Just sent a PM to Kat about this...I purposefully skipped working the last two nights for a few reasons. It's August AND it's the end of the month. So that combines customers not coming into the clubs because bills are due (often larger ones like college tuition) and financially irresponsible dancers (y'all know who I'm talking about, the "I need to make $2,000 tonight or I'll be evicted and my car will get repo'd!" type chicks) flood the club.
I'm working this weekend, not expecting a whole lot, but the ball should get rolling again in a few weeks!
More business in fall because there is less nightly events then there are in summer. I tend not to like to work the end of the month weekend either Nina, I find that the 1st weekend of the month is more lucrative since the bills have been payed and people are less worried about money.
Hopefully this weekend will be good. Next weekend there are two football games. I should have went in last night but I was too tired and I knew I would not make shit. Hopefully tonite I will because it's a pre-season game.

I was thinking about working tonight?? bad Idea?
No I do not need to make $2000 tonite. It would be sweet but I will settle for $400>. I am not irresponsible I am just paranoid of going in that place. I have grown to hate it for 7 years.
I wasn't talking about you or your situation. Just saying that in 5 years of dancing, I've seen, almost without fail at the end of each month, varying numbers of girls making variatiations on the statement I made.Quote:

Even the most financially responsible dancers can go through a bad patch for any number of reasons.
It will pick up again soon though. :D
LMAO!!! Is it a BIG convention???Quote:

Sweet, glad I booked that week off ;DQuote:

I'm planning on taking a little breather starting on Sunday until about mid-month and then diving back in hard...somehow, all of my extended breaks from dancing have been during the fall months, so this season will be new to me!
Lol, you'd think i'd have the brains to take the summer off, not the fall! :p
I have found that it gets better where I live when it gets colder outside. December is my best month. Oct and Nov are decent months here. Spring/Summer months usually suck.
i can't wait for fall already... i have had it... it's good to know it's not me... and that it's the season.
My best month has always been february! The summer is very bad here in Pensacola. Pensacola Florida is terrible for money anyways. I just have kids and family and I am kind of stuck here. Be happy with your $600 a night. I make better money then most of the girls in my club and my average is only like $200 per night! I've never in 6 years made over $1200 in a night in this town!!! So those of you lucky enough to be in good city's and clubs just know it could be worse. :-) Luv Hugs and Kisses...
I know fall and winter is when I go to the clubs more. There is less to do in the fall and winter so we have to go somewhere. Right?
Um.................. YEAH! yeah....of course.......didn't you know that EVERY guy online has a wanker that is 8+ inches??? ALL of us!Quote:

...yeah....
Here on the Gold Coast... it is the other way around.. the warmer months.. from July until around the middle of January is the best time.
I also put it down to that people are more in the spending mood in the warmer months here.. with Christmas and all coming up..
Yeah it usually does get better during the fall months. Especially around here. The average breakdown for this area.
Jan : usually pretty good
Feb : getting a little better
March : one of my best months
April : it's a hit or miss thing with tax season being here
May : starts slowing down a little
June : is in full slow down
July : picks up very little because of the holiday
August : one of the very worst
Sept : starts getting a little better
Oct : progressivly getting better
Nov : very good
Dec : good till about a week or so before X-mas
And that about sums it up in this region of the country.
