    Default Club take Half

    Hi ladies,

    I've been working in a club in maryland on and off for about 6 months. Its a really good location being close to the convention center, so we get a lot of tourist and business men. I generally make between 150-250 a night. I can make a little more every now and then, but it is not consistent. There are some extra's girls there, but most of the top girls are not, and they make at least 500-600 a night, I looked at the sheets. Thursday night, i only made about 140 dollars, and i felt terrible, i wanted to cry. I felt liek i worked so hard for the little bit of money.

    We dont pay a house fee, but the club basically takes half of what we make:

    all ladies drinks are 20$= we get 8$ and 2 goes to the bar
    1 song lap dance for 30 $ we keep 15 , 1 $ goes to bar
    3 song lap dance 60$ we keep 24$ and 6 goes the bar
    5 song lap dance 100$ we keep 40$ and 20 goes to the bar
    we have 45 min champagne , but no private room its 200$ we keep 80
    90 min 400$ we keep 160

    We are supposed to encourage the guys to give us tips for our dances, the guys have to buy the dances up front and we get a token to go back.

    Stage is small , i usally only make about 20-30 dollars a set,
    We aslo tip 5 dollars to the Dj, and 5 to the doorman.

    Any suggestions on how to work this fee structure in my favor? I know that my earnings could be better? just not really sure how to maximize my time with they ways the fee's are. Any suggestions would be helpful, thnx.

    Switch clubs. That's the biggest load of rip off bullshit I've ever seen as a dancer.

    $160 for 90 minutes ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS??

    i agree with NREXM here. i would switch clubs. they are taking more than half of what you make and you're the one gettin nekkie. it's just not right and needs to be the other way around.

    Switch clubs!!! Or if you stay, change your expectations.

    Remember that every club has an earnings ceiling (that can be broken, but is difficult to break). Because your club takes 1/2 or more of every dance, the earnings ceiling for your club is very low. I don't blame you for feeling like you're working your ass off and making comparatively little money. It isn't your fault--it's the club's structure!

    Thnx for reply ladies,

    I posted this in 2 locations and most of the ladies told me to get the hell out of the club, its a rip off, problem is that most of the clubs In baltimore are like this. The only other ones i think that are not, are scores and hustler. Which I think are pretty hard to get into, but im going to try. Since I'm relatively new at dancing, i didn't realize that i was being ripped off. Thnx again ladies. I'm thinking about either getting into private parties or just they guys, once they get back there, just pay me for extra time, and take the risk gettig caught. The pro's are that I can come in whenever I like no set schedule, and they dont hvae a cap on black girls, its really mixed.

    Start overcharging. I worked at a club that was about 400 for an hour in VIP, and I saw ZERO of that. It was down to me to get the $. If my lazy bum can do it, anyone can. Srsly.

    The thing is, im not sure how to do it as far as charging more, the lowest amount for the lap dance is 30 dollars, and i have to get a token , in order to go in the back. Maybe i'll try to push floor dance even though we dont really do that. It could work when it gets busy. Im going to start looking for more clubs next week.

    Any suggestions to go about charging more in this situation?

    I work in PA and the situation is similiar. Guys in my area are trained to tip if they want a certain type of dance (no extras, but if they want to touch breasts its xx or if they want a contact dance its xx). This works well if your in a club that constantly has new customers coming in.

    I would honestly just "lie" about the pricing. 90 Minutes is 500, that way you make at least 260 for an hour and half. If the custie gets miffed because he knows how much it used to cost, and you think you can still close the sale, be an air head "oh wow, youre right! whoops", and ask for a tip at the end. Or "Well the extra is for Five VERY special dances". I cant imagine the club is going to be mad for you to try and hustle more money for yourself since theyre taking more than half of what you're selling.
