    Default Charging more for lapdances

    Do any of you charge more for dances, where prices are advertised via sign/DJ/website?

    Dances are 2 for $40, and we payout $8. Essentially, we get $16/dance. These are not quick dance on table or squirm on lap dances. Customers expect grinding, topless, and boob-touching. I did 20 dances during the day (not including a $15 one, out of which I got $12). My payout was $10, and I left with $369. Does that seem bad to anyone else? Granted, I am used to clubs that charge 25-30, and you keep it all. HHowever, payout's more.

    As long as I specify that extra money is my tip, I am allowed to ask for more.

    What do you all think about me charging 2 for $50. I could say; "40 for dances, 10 for me! (Big smile)"

    I would say 2 for 60, but I think that's pushing it.

    OR...

    4 for $90.

    End here to keep my question semi-short and simple.

    Many people think that our job is degrading. Throughout my 10 years of doing this job, I have felt less degraded than in any other line or work that I've simultaneously completed. I do, however, feel degraded when I am not being, in my mind, properly compensated for my time. Getting paid $16 for one lapdance does not make me feel compensated lol....nor does getting paid $12.

    Geez is there another club you can work at

    If you are able to charge more why wouldn't you?

    I think charging more could be a slippery slope. Girls are known for charging more for rooms. For lapdances, though, I don't think its as common. Also, right before you enter lapdance area, there's a sign that says 2 for $40...with an arrow pointing into the area. I don't want to risk turning off customers by charging more. Even if they have never been to the the club, the sign is kind of hard to miss, and if they're paying attention to the DJ, they will hear the 2 for $40.

    That's why I'm basically wondering if the way that I worded it ($40 for dances, $10 for me) makes sense...or if someone can suggest something better.

    Girls are known for charging more for rooms.
    Then you either sell them on the room first or do the 2 for $40 and then get them into the VIP.

    So instead of worrying about $16 dances and asking for a tip, why not sell a room instead?

    That's just a perspective.

    How much is just a single dance?

    It's not always easy to get rooms. Guys would much rather do 2 for $40 vs. room charge. You can only do a single dance if you do the $15 dances, out of which we get $12. Most guys opt for 2 for $40, since it's in the "other" VIP area and it's topless. Otherwise, it's always a minimum of 2 dances.

    Believe me, I wish I could sell a room that easily. I average about 1 room/day that I work. However, I mention rooms to everyone. Perhaps I don't push hard enough...

    Okay I was confused by the single $15 dance.

    2 for $60 doesn't sound bad. If they say no that is when you say Oh alright 2 for $50.

    How much are the rooms? No you are not pushing hard enough.

    Nothing wrong with one room a night.

    That's a good point about the lowering from $60 to $50. I guess I figure that even saying $50 is a risk, given the club.

    Rooms are $150 during day. Dancer gets half. However, I charge $275 for the day, so I walk away with a min. of $200. I politely explain that it's not worth my time to make $75 for half an hour when I could make $80 in 15 minutes by doing lapdances. I do, of course, leave out that I technically don't make all $80...since the club takes a cut lol. (Edit...I didn't mean $80 in 15 min. I meant 10 min.)

    Room are $300 during night, club takes half. I don't sell rooms at night, and barely work 3 hours past when they start charging that amount. I would say $350, though. Here again, that leaves me with at least $200.

    When you try and break down costs that way, customers tend to be confused about the total price. It's much easier if you just tell them it's 2 for 60$ (that gives you room to negotiate down to 50$ if they don't go for it) and do it out of earshot of management and other dancers. As long as no one knows you're not explicitly saying it's a tip, no biggie. Just get close to the customer and whisper it sexily into his ear. I also don't recommend trying this on club regulars as they'll know better. I always like to ask if the customer has been in the club before, so you know to be a bit more careful if they answer yes.

    2 for $50 sounds very reasonable to me..Its the regular price and a guaranteed tip for you, which is very fair. I agree with shanna dior just give them the straightup "2 for 50" or "2 for 60" to keep it simple for them. And yes this will work best on non-regulars, especially passing thru out of towners who might be used to higher dance prices elsewhere (big cities). If anyone asks about the sign or says "all the other girls charge 2 for 40" just say thats the minimum or the suggested minimum to make prices seem more flexible. Also, sell YOUR dances as better, unique, the best, beleive that you are worth more and make the custys beleive it too!!

    What some of the girls did at my previous club is giving them 2 options (even when there was only 1, dances were $10 each) We'd say "are you wanting the basic dance for 10 or the really hot dance for 20?" When they'd say "I didn't know there were 2 options..." We'd then say "well, not every girl offers that". We had to be careful because at that club they're super strict on even asking customers for dances. They pride themselves in being a no hustle, no pressure club and they've fired girls for that. I'd have to say a majority would choose the $20 dance and I'd make it extra sexy, eye contact & all that. So maybe you could say to them "well, the basic lapdances are 2 for $40, however, if you'd like some extra luvin, I'll do it for an extra $20 or $10 whatever you decide to say. I think saying for an extra $10 or $20 sounds better than saying for $50 or $60, I think the former makes it sound like they're getting an extra good deal or something. Anyone else's thoughts?

    If the OP is working in an extras club, she should probably avoid using terms like 'extra luvin' or anything else that implies she'd get nasty during the dance. I'd also recommend checking out local laws, as some cities can be very vague on what counts as solicitation, and that kind of line could be interpreted as such in certain areas.
