    Default how much should a lapdance be

    Reading here, I see most of you guys' lapdances are 20 dollars. At my club they are 40 dollars. I gather from the men that 40 dollars is too much for a lapdance when they can go to a much nicer place and get them for less. Some guys try to bargain me down for a 2 for 1 deal and I refuse it. I don't know if the other girls at my club are doing it, but I just don't think I should. And see this puts me in the category of girls who would rather have something than nothing. At the end of the night I think to myself, "damn, I could have x more dollars if I had done that." So they questions I want to ask are:

    1. How should a club determine the prices of the dances?
    2. Should I take the thirty instead of the forty I'm offered or nothing at all?

    I worked at a club where they had dances @$40. Put it like this, the customers who come in there ALREADY know what the deal is and what they are expecting to shell out for it.

    Don't sell yourself short. At my club chicks are ALWAYS offering 2-4-1's. This hurts me..but I always sell my dances the way they should be, and I STILL end up making more. Don't undercutt the other dancers. It sucks. If you drop down to $30, then they drop it down to $20..what are you gonna do then...drop it to $10?

    Guys are going to try to get the most bang for their buck..hell who doesn't like a bargain. But again, don't sell yourself short. You're worth way more than the $40. When guys complain that I don't offer the 2-4-1's like the majority I explain to them that I give THE BEST dance in the club. then I ask, "do you want a bad dance or a good dance"

    hmmm. this is where it gets tricky.

    on slow nights when all we have are mexican customers... they always ask us for 3 for $50. it's supposed to be $60... but when 3 guys want that deal, you're making easy money.

    during hurricane rita i had this guy that would come in every single day and ask for buy 5 dances get one free. hell yes i did it. that's $100 + every single day for one guy.


    bottom line... on a slow night i would rather $30 than nothing.

    CK, my club doesn't have to many regulars, usually truck drivers who are visiting. They really don't know what to expect. But I will use the line and tell them that I give the best dances. This one guy actually told me I should charge more. He bought two dances and tipped me 40 so I ended up getting 100 out of him. I know I'm worth more than the 40. I know I am. Which is why I wish Memphis did the VIP charge for your time type of thing. BTW my ride to the new club bailed out Tuesday so I have to go next Tuesday. This joke of a club has the nerve to have a broken ATM in it. What an embarassment

    Corgan, it gets frustrating doesn't it? I mean it's a night when it's dead and you are faced with choosing something over nothing.

    When a customer bargains me down, I bargain down too.

    For example, if they want a 3 for 50, I'll give them the three dances BUT the first song is an airdance.

    I'll take any money a guy has but you get what you pay for.

    ^^^You should really try it. You get the money, but you're not "lowering" your worth, ya know? At least it works for me

    Hey hg I work at a club similar to yours. At our club, the club takes $10 for every dance we do. So some dancers tell the guys $40 to get 30, and others say shit like "Its $20 plus tip, and the customary tip is the price of the dance." That second response will get one a lot of $2 tips. Basically, telling the guys its $20 and then trying to get a $20 tip from them.

    What I like to say is "Its $40, and that includes the tip and the fee" which REALLY helps, kind of making it seem like a "bargain" lol.

    If a customer ever asks me whats up with some chicks selling $20 dances, I just say "Yeah, $20 plus a $20 tip" and laugh. If they try and bitch, I say "Sorry big boy. They take $20 from our lapdances, so thats why we ask for $40 up front"

    Try those out! Maybe they could work at your club.

    Its not worth it to undercut dance prices. I hear girls bitching about how they made half as much as me, and they have done the same amount of dances. Work smarter not harder!!!!

    WHAT. That sucks...

    We get in BIG trouble, like FIRED if we try to charge double. If it was more lax, I'd totally double charge. Naked for 4 minutes for $10 plus one song to sell it and one song to move on? Fuck that. It's VIP or die where I am.

    were allowed as long as we tell the guys up front what we charge so were not "ripping them off"

    totally! Remember, we're independent contractors.

    The only time I couldn't charge more for dances was when I worked for Deja Vu. It states directly in the contract you can't charge more. I charge more for my dances all the time.

    I charge standard for a dance ($25) but I always ask for a tip. I do it cute and flirty, like holding out the side of my thong and asking, "Don't you wanna feed the kitty?"

    I do this too, or if they want to give me 15 and we've been trying to bargain half way through the song Ill say okay, but I'm only dancing for this song. So I end up doing a quick 2 minute dance for 15 bucks. I wouldn't have been doing anything any ways besides walking for the rest of the song so why not. As long as they aren't offering me less than 10 bucks for half a song, I'm not selling anyone short, they jsut get what they have money for.

    On Sundays we have $10 dances (its a nude optional club), so I tell them $10 for topless, $20 I pull my panties to the side a few times, and $30 I get fully nude in the private room. (I need a clever way of saying that, it gets so old by 2am). Most of the time they want to upgrade, at least by the 2nd dance. But those $10 dances suck when its a 4 minute song!

    Say, "ok so do you want G rated, PG-13, or Rated-R"

    I used to say that at my nude club..I'd be like, "you want g-rated or xxx" They always went for the xxx lmao. I don't really use the XXX anymore cause guys assume some ultra freaky shit is gonna go down..

    Those are some pricey lap dances for a club with mostly truck drivers (although I have heard that truck drivers do make good money...!)

    Do you have to put up with a lot of crap from them, or are they pretty decent for the most part?
