    Default Club being possessive...

    I've been at my home club for over three years, but lately the money has been tanking due to a variety of things. Local laws require that we wear latex over the nipples and that we don't straddle and that we must keep two feet on the floor at all times. This was never enforced until the start of this year. Meanwhile, at another club down the street, a club literally TWO TRAFFIC LIGHTS away from us, a club you could walk to from ours if you had sneakers on, things are going on as they always have because they are in a different jurisdiction. We're losing customers, and also quality girls. So they hired some really dumpy girls because we needed more dancers, and we lost even more customers. They stopped enforcing the rules, and things got better for a while. Then I came in earlier this week and was informed that the cops had come in and given warnings to girls and that we had to go back to following the really strict rules again.

    I love this club, but I'm not willing to stick around full time and make crappy money. Who would? Club loyalty only extends so far when I'm having trouble paying my freaking bills on time, which hasn't been a problem since I left my crappy Starbucks job. I mean, I made better money dancing in Orlando than I've made at this club lately, and Orlando money is complete shit. So I decided to bounce around a little bit. I didn't see the need to keep quiet about it, because girls in Cocoa Beach do it all the time. Most girls work at two or more of the clubs and no one ever cares. But lo and behold, word gets to my management that I'm going to the club down the street part time, not even quitting my home club, and suddenly they're pissed at me. I worked at my home club Thursday and it was really uncomfortable. I don't understand why it's a big deal. The boyfriend says that they're probably afraid that I won't come back, and I think he's right, but at this point I'm so annoyed that I almost don't want to. I suppose it's a compliment that they don't want to lose me, but again, I'm not quitting, and being shitty about the whole thing certainly isn't a way to make me want to stay.

    I'm so annoyed that I almost don't even want to dance in Cocoa Beach for a while. The idea of going to another area, probably Tampa, and being in a club where no one knows me and I can just politely keep to myself and do my own thing sounds like heaven.

    I don't think there's really much of a point to this post, I'm just venting. The whole thing is just stupid.

    I had a club fire me bc I went to check out a different club(just talked to the manager, not dancing there.)

    The club that fired me was the same way, started hiring shitty girls, $$ was going downhill, lack of customers.

    Don't feel bad at all!! Think of it this way, if you're dancing at other clubs, there's a reason. U gotta do what's right for you, the club doesn't pay u to be there right? Make $$, screw loyalty to these silly clubs. That's why you're there anyway, it's not like it's gonna go on your resume in the future or something lol.

    Some clubs are possessive because they're worried they'll lose the remaining quality girls once they realize how much better it is elsewhere. In fact, some contracts you sign will even stipulate that you can't work in multiple clubs in the same city. The best way to go about it is to be hush hush, just to make your life easier.

    How badly do you want to stick around your home club? If the money sucks and they're treating you like shit, just don't bother showing up anymore. You don't owe the club anything - you should go where the money is.

    Take care of YOU, because 99% of these clubs have no loyalty to their dancers. They don't care about you, they care about $$. So you should care about $$ too.

    So much for being an independent contractor.

    Yes, I know clubs where they mandated that dancers work at that club, exclusively. Girls have been fired over rumors that they worked elsewhere.

    How this is legal... I still do not know.

    Most clubs (in NYC anyway) want you to work at least 3 days per week. With 6-or-8 hour shifts being the minimum daily requirement.

    It's exhausting.


    3 or 4 days per week, scheduled weeks in advance, regardless of whether you feel ill, hung-over, or burnt out. And you have to work on those days... otherwise you are fined or penalized with unfavorable shifts.

    Yeah, that takes a toll on any dancer.

    My days off are spent doing school work, household stuff, running errands, or just RESTING! So working at another club was out of the question.


    I do wish it were possible to work at one club on any given night, at another club when ever, and rotate clubs as I see fit.

    When I was out in LV I tried Spearmint one night, met up with an old dance buddy who has worked the 9 pm shift there for years. I preferred Sapphire and tried coercing her to go with-she refused to try it out, scared mgmt would find out and punish her w 3 am shift for a few weeks.

    That's one of the big advantages of Cocoa Beach clubs. Money isn't stellar but there are no schedules, you only have to be there four hours, low house fees, and generally they don't care about girls working several clubs. You show up when you want and can work as much or as little as you want without having to worry about losing your job. I've worked seven days with double shifts when my car got totaled and I had to get a down payment together and have also worked only one day for four hours. They usually could care less as long as we aren't causing problems. And at least 50% of the dancers in that area work at two or more clubs. That's why I was like, "Dur, what?" when they got weird. Like it's so common that it didn't even occur to me to try and keep it on the down low. Ideally I'd like to go back and forth between the clubs because they both have their own advantages, and also because I think I'm going to have a hard time getting my established customers to go to the new one due to differences in the lapdance areas.

    I've been at the new club for a few days now. One day was decent and the other sucked, but it's Florida and we're in slow season right now so the jury's still out. I'm doing a double at the old club today (I like the day shifts there). Hopefully the whole thing has blown over and they've moved on to being pissy with another girl who like, actually causes REAL problems.

    I've heard various things from different girls so I think it's just one of those things where I'll have to try it out for myself. I'm used to pretty high contact already and I'm a hustler so as long as they'll hire me (I hear they like them skinny and I'm a size four but I have a big butt) I'll probably be fine. We'll see. I want to feel things out at the new club before I go running off anywhere else.

    I worked at a possessive club too....can't work anywhere else even if it's another town or they will fire you if they find out, they limit face piercings, tattoos, how long you stay in the dressing room (they would time you on the camera)...needless to say I finally had the sense to get the hell out of there and I'm alot happier!!!
