    Dizzy Feature dancer booking negotiations?

    Hey ladies! I'm just getting started in feature dancing and just want to make sure I got some basic issues in order. So there is a marketing rep for a strip club that contacted me to feature dance at there club. The problem is this is my first feature so I'm kind of new to what I am suppose to expect for expenses. It's a out of town feature so I'm I suppose to pay for my own travel expenses and do I traditionally suppose to charge a few to the club for booking me? I am a african american dancer and is pretty good at twerking and pole tricks but no idea on to work this out in the traditional sense that's best for me and not shooting myself in the foot for suggesting expenses paid that's not standard.

    Thanks!

    Default Re: Feature dancer booking negotiations?

    In the 'good ol days' clubs booking feature dancers were very likely to cover the cost of air fare, as well as providing ( or kicking in towards ) accomodations, in conjunction with a full week's booking. These days, it's unfortunately a different story.

    The booking is likely to be significantly less than a full week. Travel expenses are likely to be excluded from the deal ... and particularly so if the booking period has been reduced to a 'long weekend'. Thus you'll probably wind up negotiating towards a 'daily pay' amount, which will be proportionate to the number of daily performances the club expects you to perform plus a 'per diem' allowance for accomodations.

    Obviously, 'big name' feature performers ( which the club can advertise based on name recognition ) will be able to cut better deals.
