    I know some dancers are sensitive about talking about exact figures with money, but I appreciate the candor about finances. In most 'real' or day jobs your able to figure out about what someone in similar position living in the same geographic area earns. I think being open about the numbers if your comfortable helps the profession overall. Recently, I returned to dancing after a few years and found it tricky to figure out what is considered a good night or banking. I find posts like this very helpful.
    Banking would be after tip out(mine is high so it makes a difference) over $1500, a good night over $700, anything less than $400 I would be disappointed. It does depend though and how hard and long I have to work. The other night I got onto the floor around midnight and stayed until around 4:00am and made about $575 and I was happy with that b/c it wasn't a stressful night in regards to hustling or anything else.

    500$+ after fees and paying the club driver (100 total), is banking for me.
    I work in a smaller, laid-back club.
    I'm happy with anything over 300. 200, I'm disappointed but it's not a big deal, it's still what I used to make in an entire week at a regular job...
    100-ish, or less, is unacceptable though.
    Also I'm new, and I don't really have the best hustling skills yet.

    I know a lot of this depends on where you live/work and what you have to do for the money, but for me, under 200 is terrible, as in, I would rather have stayed at home. Under 300 and I'm disappointed. 300-400 ok, over 400 happy, over 500 I feel really good, and over 600 "banked."

    I agree it's all relative too. If I made just average money but I know everyone else had a really crap night then I kind of feel like I banked because I made more than most. I don't feel there's much of a difference between it being weeknight or weekend because our club is more business guys not so much of a party club. It's easier to make money during the week sometimes.

    I'm jealous of some of these numbers. o.o

    Average/acceptable night for me is around $200 take-home.

    Good is $3-400

    "Banking" is bringing home anything over $600...it's only happened a few times. And I know I'm an above-average earner at my club.

    Tuesday I actually only broke even after tip-out/cab But can't win them all I guess. I haven't been in NOLA long enough to know average earnings during different seasons, but I will keep you posted after few weeks. Hope your all banking

    I'm happy as long as I make $500. A good night is a grand or more.

    I see banking as anything over £550 - about $860.

    But it's all relative - if all the other girls went home with £100 and I took home £250, then yea, I'll be happy with my night.

    Banking is >$600
    I was always pretty happy if I could clear $500 a night after all club expenses / travel costs.
    ^ This didn't always happen. I was willing to travel and work long shifts to have it hopefully happen as much as possible though.

    On weeknights, I'm content with over 300. Banking is 500 plus. I haven't got any regulars yet, so hopefully that will change dramatically in coming months.

    On weekends - especially Saturdays - I am disappointed with less than 700. 800-900 is great. Over 1000 has happened three times in my career, and makes me a very happy kitty.

    I am working in denmark at the moment and i would consider banking to be over $600,$400-$600 would be good and $200-$400 would be good for a weeknight but a bit dissapointing for a weekend night.
    This is one of the best clubs i have worked in though,most other places i would have set my sights a little lower.However I think that it is best to look at your weekly earnings rather than nightly.

    I think it's all relative to your monthly expenses.
    During my highest earning years (2005-200 my household budget was $8,000. It was so completely stressful!!!

    Now that I have paired back my living expenses, I feel like I'm "banking" even when I make half of what I would make 5 years ago.

    I have an expected average amount for three shifts. If I double that the same week, that's banking for me.

    $1000+ is banking.

    If I can earn $200 a shift working in an office, I figure I should at minimum double this stripping so plus an $80 house fee, I'm pissed if I go home with less than $500.
    Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
