    Default Club that pays for dancers rent...

    A young dancer recently came to my club in LA from Mexico City to dance for 3 months. We were talking and she revealed to me that the club is paying for her rent on the condition that she works a certain amount of hours a week.

    Is this common?
    Am I in the wrong to feel pissed that I pay enough money in stage fees every month to pay for half my rent, and the club takes 65% of my money I earn every night?


    I'm actually considering leaving the club anyway, so I'm more curious about the first question. I just added the second as a bit of a rant

    Sounds like some sex trafficking issue to be honest. The fact they are paying to bring in a dancer from Mexico seems creepy.

    Many years ago I danced at a club with upstairs apartments. I don't remember if they paid for the dancers or the dancers stayed there and paid rent but some did. I lived locally so I never checked into it.

    I know that Mexico City used to be part of the circuit so I'm not suprised that they do that. She probably forgot to mention to you that she was under contract with that particular club for X amount of months and they only paid her rent only while she was under contract.

    Sounds like there's got to be more to it that she didn't tell you.

    You should switch clubs anyway for 65% takeover.

    She could also mean that with the money she makes from the club, she is able to pay her rent.

    When doing adult work it is common to stay at a model house in LA. I wouldn't be surprised if the club owner/manager rents a bedroom to her for a contract and a higher take.

    What club takes 65% in LA?!?! Is it 65% no matter what you make or does it just have a really high standard house plus a 20% take?

    At my club we have a few latina women who work there. Basically they work for a certain amount of months and the club helps them get their Visa to live in Canada. They are on contract so they have to do x amount of stage shows and they make their money but they also pay the club a bit. Reason that some clubs do this is to bring in "fresh meat" sort to speak and mix things up with these very exotic beautiful women. Its a win win situation and i havnt seen anything amiss with it. One of the girls started there and was able to bring her sister and her lover and they all have visas now or maby its perm residents cards? 1 of the 2. But there are some places where its a front for sex trafficaing especially if its done through a agency.

    Bare Elegance.
    Basically for each dance the club gets 51% and the dancer gets 49%.
    Then you tip out the manager, the dj, and the floater $1 per dance. And it's always encouraged to tip the bartenders as well.
    Then depending on what time you arrive, you have to pay a house fee between $0 (if you start at 6pm) and $35 (if you start later than 8pm)
    Most girls usually come in around 7 and have to pay $20.
    So I don't know the EXACT percentage, but me and some other girls have estimated it to be a bit over 60%.

    ^^^ Holy shit. I'd have to making insane money to put up with only taking home 40% of it!

    My friend worked at a club where they paid for some dancers accommodations, but it turned out that they charged an extra $75 on the house fee to cover it, and the dancers didn't have a choice. They were Russian agency dancers that had some kind of visa set-up with the club.

    well, this is essentially what janet does. and sometimes, the club only pays some of the dancer's housing. it just depends.
