    Default Go Go or Stripping?

    Is it better to be a go go dancer since you have a GUARENTEED PAY at the end of the night or are you completely fine playing russian roulette by stripping and being able to make WAY MORE than you would with go go dancing?

    One of my friends were recommending Go Go dancing for me but I've had my mind on stripping for a while so I'm sticking with it.

    in almost every case gogo dancing is guaranteed less than stripping, but i think it's more fun.

    around here gogo girls get 100-150 + drinks. i make at least 150 on tips-only basis.

    I love gogo dancing, but its a trade off. Less stress but less money too. You could always gogo a night or two a week and strip a night or two a week. It helps keep both jobs more fun.

    i think it really depends what you want. do you wanna dance with clothes on or off? Gogo dancing isn't as frowned upon so it could go on a resume, but stripping cant really go on one.

    It depends on where you live and what club you work at lol. Yeah go go dancing only pays 150 but its guaranteed, you don't have to work 6plus hours (usually only 2 hours) and you don't need to deal with people touching you or harrassing you. Some nights I will go home with less than 100 from working at the strip club (and this is more often than id like it to be), so it's not always less money than stripping.
    The bad thing about go go dancing though is that it is super competitive. Everyone and their mom can go go dance, and if you are starting out, you are probably not going to get hired at a big club that can afford to pay 150. I remember when I started I was working for 80-100 bucks.

    Yeah I go go danced when I was 16 ( under the table) and I'd end up with 50 some nights for 3 sets or even up to 200 on special events in the club.
    So would you still do stripping or go go dancing---money wise?

    If there was gogo around here, I would so do it.

    Then again I'm in an area where anything over $150 is considered decent money, anyway.

    my friend go gos and she doesn't nearly make as much as I do. On a monthly basis... even if I have a few bad nights I'm still making more cash and in the end its all about the cash for me. because I'm perfectly comfortable dancing with my clothes on... or my clothes off.

    Lol stripping. It is suppper hard to get hired to be a go go for more than 100 bucks. A lot of clubs have auditions (and a lot of these girls are pro dancers who have trained for YEARS and also do music videos and other dance stuff) and like the "name go gos." They seem to have their own little celebrity thing going on. There are certain top go gos who get most of the gigs and I am definately not one of them lol.

    "Paid"? I'm probably going to embarrass myself now,but you actually get paid by the management to work at a go-go bar in your area?Around here,it's tips only plus a house fee.

    i guess it varies from club to club... the club where my friend works she makes an hourly wage... but she only works lik 3-4 hours a night... so its not that much. She also wears a garter where gets tips... but the most she's told me she made is lik 40 bucks in tips. I didn't even know gogos got tipped... when I go to a nightclub I see them dancng but I didn't know we are supposed to tip em.

    my friend got into it by talking to a promoter and he told her when to come in and audition. so I would suggest either finding a promoter for the club you might be interested in dancing in(perhaps finding them through myspace) or you can contact the club/ club's manager through their website and ask what their auditioning process is.

    Off the topic, but did anyone see, "Confessions of a Go-Go Dancer" on Lifetime TV? It made it sound like she was rakin' in the dough, then she ends up at a s/c, (where her dad, bro, & fiancee walk in) but it all turns out fine in the end.

    ive actually done both, gogoing is nice because you are guaranteed money but honestly very rarely have i made less dancing than i do on a minimum gogo payment. you will make more stripping but gogoing is much more fun

    Sometimes you can find ads on Craigslist for gogo dancers. I've found a few that way. Do a search in jobs and another search in gigs.

    Gogo dancing the problem is not dollar per hour becuz you only do 3-4 15 sets in 4hrs or an hour on stage or put on a show ect..ect and back just like you got a room or alot of dances granteed 15-250 + sometimes--plus you don't deal with the customers on that level of contact and you are not naked. It's more fun and no hustling about it just you have to generally know how to dance and look like what the club wants which manytimes is a very limited look. They are picker becuase they only hire a few and those few have to match the music and image of thier club.

    Now the problem is hours and since stripping you can work all nite and double or anytime you get more hours so you will make more as long as make a comparative adverage to being a gogo dancer which most dancers do.

    I have an ex-fling that works 2-4 different clubs a week doing gogo that makes more or less what some strippers make if not more, but I do believe if she was a stripper she'ld be a top earner and make even more baised soley on her looks and what a flirt she is. However she just thinks she's too good to strip for money and comes from a well to do family that still takes care of her soo she's never been of need and she's so admired as a fetish/go-go dancer that in her head that makes her better then the adverage girl since any girl can strip few can do go-go..ect..ect I freakin hated when they did the latex anti strip show where they all put on more and more latex in order to turn the audience on--come on naked is sexy even in latex the less the better in my book.

    Actaully I believe she doesn't dance becuz she knows outside of the latex that flatters her figure she really has no body--I mean I have always dated slim and I'm a fan of petite tiny figures, but she was the only girl I was ever with that had less everything then me to the extreme I was like what was I susposed to do with this becuz she barely had the body of a 12yr old. Still I know many men would find that hott, but really I know she's insecure about it and always padding up and wearing corsets to hide it so getting real naked among a group of women all of which who would have more curves then her would be hard for her so that is probably why she never considered stripping. Besides I'm glad she didn't cuz it's more to fun to bump into her while she's working at parties I go to with my hott dates or hookup at. Unlike stripclubs I get to be as wild as I want with other women right there right infront of her and she can't say anything about it. Infact since the photographers at the parties always love taken pictures of me and my playdates so she actaully has to see the photos on screen everyday at work becuz she works as the manager at the fetish store when she's not doing gogo. Not that it should matter becuz it's been years, but still.

    Point still is that to do professional gogo and make a living it has to be almost a lifestyle and some connection to always have gigs to make it worth it. Even here she has to drive around alot even as connected as she is. Stripping grantees hours avaiblity, can be more money exspecailly to those that meet gogo requirments which are generally higher the most regular stripclub--plus stripclubs are everywhere so you have more choices closer to home or anywhere you want to work day or nite.

    If by gogo bar you mean bikini bar which is basically a strip club without the stripping- then no you do not get paid
    The OP is talking about go go dancers though, the girls who dance on a platform or glass case in regular night clubs, do not get touched, do not talk to the crowd, and do not get tips. They get paid to be there and dance 20 minute sets.

    Best idea ever. Probably what I'll do after I move. Guaranteed income on some nights, and the chance to make large amounts of money on others, dancing all the while...could it be more perfect?
