So for example if the norm for a particular club is to charge customers $20 for private dances, with the club keeping $10 and the dancer receiving $10, then for a typical night doing say 20 dances the club 'extracted' $200 from the dancer despite not charging a house fee. If a similar club charged even a $100 house fee, but allowed the dancer to keep the entire $20 private dance price, if the girl does 20 dances she's actually $100 better off in terms of nightly take-home earnings.
