    Now that i have time to add to this post I will. Yes as a matter of fact I am attached to my club. We are the only club in the area that does NOT do lap dances. In fact lap dancing is illegal in my city. How the clubs are getting away with it I don't know. I have tried the other clubs in the past but the other clubs do lap dances and I am still not comfortable doing them. I never have been comfortable with them and that's why I do stay at my club.

    When we have a day shift at our club it is the opposite. The white girls tend to make the money. I just cannot do day shift like I would like to because I do have another job. Maybe I should say the club tends to have more of a mix of black and latino guys at night. The white guys tend to stay away at night but we do get a few. We also have the lowest tipout of all the clubs. That does not mean the girls do not make money.

    I am a thicker white girl with lots of booty and a nice set of boobs. I am not fat. I have an athletic build but it is not as toned as I would like it to be. I have gained some weight but I am trying to tone up. I am one of the best dancers at the club and know how to change up my dance style to suit the music. I dance to everything. I do dance to a lot of r and b/hip hop. I dance to what the crowd wants to hear.

    I do plan to wear my bikinis and booty shorts more now and maybe add some more in the near future. I wear tube dresses but will sprinkle them in with the other outfits.

    Thank you to those who actually gave me advice. My question was about what I can do to up my earnings, not should I leave. I plan to take the advice and use it. The ones who gave advice, it was very good. Thank you for your help.

    I'm not greedy about the money. Our top earning girls make up to $400 a night. If we did lapdances it would more than likely be higher. If I'm walking out with $150 I am happy because I'm taking home more money than I came in with (especially if don't have to grind on someone's lap).

    You're quite welcome. I really hope you found my post to help some..I know at times it got clouded over with the "racial undertones" and stuff...

    I have another question for you..what color outfits do you wear? Are you tan? Or do you tan? Do you wear makeup

    You are going to have to change your hustle. I am black and I have noticed that the same hustle rarely works for both black and white clubs. Most white girls that I have seen work in black or mixed clubs have done very well, just like I'm a black girl who has done well in mostly white clubs. I hope that you do great!

    I'm white and I never did good in "black" clubs. Looking back I consider my last two clubs "black" clubs cause 75% of the dancers AND customers were black.
    Now I am not comparing southern Arizona with Atlanta, which is a whole other animal. I actually grew up in Atlanta so I know how it is there. I still feel like my last two clubs were black clubs though.
    Most of the customers were black and the white guys that would come in thought they were black
    Some nights I swear I'd play a rock song and feel bad about doing so afterwards. I think most clubs are trending towards a "hip-hop" feel, and if you can't pull that look/style/attitude off it can be VERY challenging to make money.
    I danced to "Duffel Bag Boy" one night to try to please the crowd and got made fun of.
    I do agree with the whole men wanting variety things for the most part, but if they are coming to a black club they want variety within the same race.

    I hated it. It sucks cause I am actually really attracted to black men (my hubby's half black) but they are less than thrilled about me. I could never win their money or praise no matter what I'd do, how much I'd kiss their ass or play their game.

    I had trouble making money in a black club as a black dancer until I learned how to dance like a black stripper. Think Tip Drill video. Once I learned some of those moves, my money went way way up.

    As far as hustling black guys, You have to be aggresive and very sexy. None of that cutesy hair twirling stuff.

    I have visited "black" clubs in my city, and when I have gone with my bouncer(who is a regular at one place) and other girls from my white club we get all of our drinks payed for and money sent to our table just cuz we are white girls(the bouncer loves it). I think the main difference (having worked in a up scale "wiggle dance" club and a club which has much more liberal dancing rules, thereare no lap dances anywhere in my city) that the main difference in most black and white customers (BIG generalization) is that black men (unless there are pretty old) come to be ENTERTAINED not just look at some pretty girl on a pedistal and then have a conversation with them (I make almost all of my money through eye contact and cannot dance am very shy so this is all I am capible of) They want to be impressed by how well you can move. How pretty you are seems to matter a little bit but what is more important is how you move. I would watch the other girls and as alot of people have already said I would step up your stage show. Also, (again generalizing) I have noticed that a somewhat exaggerated personality does well with alot of black men like REALLY sexy or REALLY fun not some much shy and polite unless you can do that in areally sexy almost caricatured way. If that makes any sense.

    Maybe it all depends on the area. I worked at a black club in miami. Known for the booty shaking (Uncle Luke). I danced my same old moves (no booty shaking) which consisted of lots of floorwork. I made MORE on stage than the booty shakers. The customers told me they appreciated my style because I can actually DANCE. Men want to see more than some ass wiggling for 2 songs straight...

    I can do booty shaking and good floorwork. I've tried just floorwork without much booty shaking and that doesn't seem to cut it anymore. I can give a good show. Personally I LOVE a good show that can incorporate everything and not just one particular type of dancing (give me some pole anyday though).

    I'm learning to be more aggressive too. I've got the sexy part. I'm too nice and that really screws me sometimes. I can't be a bitch since that does turn a lot of guys off. Some girls it works well for.

    Never seen the Tip Drill video. I would like to though.

    Oh another reason I stay at my current club is when my day job gets into full swing I can only work Friday and Saturday nights. To my knowledge no other clubs in my area allow a girl to do that without working 2 weeknights.

    To cinnamonkisses I wear some tube dresses, some bikinis, and some booty shorts. I like fishnet stuff. It just really depends on the crowd. I'm not tan. I like to tan but I don't want to up my already high risk of cancer (I lost my mom to breast cancer). I don't want to look orange from a spray on tan. I do wear make up. When I do light shadow and kind of a glossy look I don't get looked at by anyone. I get more looks when I do heavy eyeshadow with glossy lips. Day shift I do lighter makeup than night shift.

    I'll wear mostly black, white, the bright melon color, some pinks/purple, and blue. I don't do green, yellow or orange. I don't go too bright since I'm not tanned enough.

    Ok, while reading your thread I got an idea of a cute look that you can try. There is this girl that works in my club. She's pretty thick, has big tits (fake) and a big ass (au natural I believe lol). Anyway, she wears this one outfit when I see her (which isn't often) She wears all white. She wears bootyshorts, a short lil fishnet top (nothing under it) and a white kangol

    Girl, that bitch is hot..I can't stop staring at her...the men go WILD over her too..She isn't even that much of a looker, but that outfit totally works for her.

    For me personally, I find the plain jane makeup look on alot of dancers to not work in their favor. Especially on night shift/busy shifts. Do more deeper shadows.

    As far as tanning, I dont know to much about that but I totally understand your reasons behind not doing the tanning booths. There are quite a few thread in BB about self tanners that aren't so yellow. Also, have you tried Mistic Tan I believe it's called..some girls here like that.

    Good luck,
    cK

    Also those new fishnet capris seem to be great for booty moves. It makes your butt and theighs look like they are shaking like crazy, even if you are just poppin the booty. And its thick fishnet usually white or neon. I will try to find pics I am having trouble now but those are amazing at enhancing booty shaking.

    I haven't tried mystic tan yet but have thought about it. Don't get me wrong I do love getting a tan but I just dont have the money to do it aside from the cancer worries.

    I saw the fishnet capris tonight actually! We had a new girl who can dance like noone I've ever seen before and works the pole like a cat who wore some. It's the bigger fishnet but I'll look at trying to find some.

    Like this? I love dancing in these- took me a while to find it in my favorite color but I did. I wish I had bought 2 or 3. It's so comfy, like wearing nothing....still very sexy.

    Women of color:
    Shake your ass and preserve your heritage.
    Bang those fucking drums.
    Do it for the present and future generations.
    Have fun and stick it to the man at the same time.

    I guess it depends on the club but when I last worked at a black club last year I was rained on daily.

    It also depends on the guy too. We don't see too many who make it rain in our club.

    Oh here's an update for y'all on this. I started wearing more bikini's and the booty shorts and the money has gone up. Not too much but just enough that I'm feeling better about myself. Come to find out most of the guys are just too cheap. They notice me but don't wanna tip or it's just a dollar and "will you come home with me/go out with me?"
