I noticed that you've been asking a lot of really specific questions about averages. The thing with this industry is that there is no such thing. Just because one or even most girls are making $x amount on stage or going up x amount of times or being rejected x number of times a shift, doesn't have any bearing on what will happen to you - or even them on their next shift. These things are so dependent on the girl, the shift, the club, the other girls in, the time of day, the hustle, the clientele, etc., etc., etc. That's just the nature of the industry, everything is all over the place and unpredictable.
Like, on a Saturday day shift, I will go up anywhere from 2-6 times depending on how many girls there are, whether the owner is in (he doesn't like break songs between girls), and which DJ is working. On a Wednesday evening shift, I will go up more often in the first half when there are less girls than in the second half when all of the nights girls are coming in. If a certain DJ is in, I won't go up at all - unless the owner is in, then I'll surely go up a few times.





^ Agreed. We can't tell you what it'll be like unless you know a specific club and happen to find a member who's actively working there, and even then she can tell you only a guess at what everyone in that club makes. You may be a huge hit and make a ton of stage tips or just be average or below average. You have to go find out.
At my club, we go on stage in a rotation. There is always a girl dancing. If there are more than X number of girls, he'll put 2 at a time up. If I'm the only girl there (like when I open), I go up once and take about a 20 minute break before he puts me up again. Another club I worked at had 2 stages so stage time doubled. I think most clubs do go in a rotation unless you pay the DJ to leave you off it or you get signed off the floor for VIP.
Stage tip average depends on what customers are there... we have a few older guys who are lovely customers and will tip $1 or $2 to every girl on stage, some that tip the girls they like, and sometimes it's full of stupid college kids who don't tip period. Then you've gotta factor how many times you went on stage. But at my club, it definitely isn't anything to really be concerned about... stage money is more like "tips" with lap dance money being your "salary".

My goal is to clear 300 in stage tips and 500 from dances a night.. I make my goal 2 out of every 3 shifts.

totally varies. one club i go on maybe 4 times and make 50 on stage and at the other one i clear 200-300 on stage. i always make more with private dances though, and im not sure why considering i love to dance and i feel im pretty good at it..some girls make more on stage and others make more with dances, some clubs are stage clubs, and others its just an inconvenience. start dancing already girly!! you'll know soon enough..


I want to add at the club where I work almost all of the girls are NOT tipped on stage ... at all!!! Even the most beautiful, gorgeous, fit, hot, etc girls. Plenty of the customers sit at the back, watching the stage and wait for a girl to come and hustle a lap dance out of them, or better yet VIP time. Stage tips are rare, and very nice when they do come around, but even the best dancers cannot draw stage tips out of men who came to the club for lap dances. I have made about $20 a night from stage tips but much much more money is earned giving lap dances. I consider stage tips just a complement like "I like you ... I would like to buy a lap dance with you," but plenty more guys watch from a distance and prefer NOT to sit at the stage or tipping rail whatever you call it, because they would rather save their money for a more contact lap dance. You have to remember as much as the guys want to tip every girl they like, some guys have a fixed income and want to only spend a certain amount of money in the club. Stage tips are NOT mandatory while entrance to the club fees are, so many men may come in just to watch the stage show from a distance and maybe just get a few lap dances. There are even customers that will try to stretch their dollar every which way they can, and hustle you down and out of what you feel you deserve. Like one night a guy requested a fully nude dance, then decided to only pay for a topless one ... so many different variables, but keep in mind that guys are even more choosy with how they spend their money and most will not even tip at the stage for the reason that they would rather save that money for a lap dance.
I use stage tips to cover my tip-outs and almost never leave with 1's... I barely make any stage money. Ever. It's just this club that I'm at right now, though, I think -- and the fact that I prefer to work low volume evenings/week nights and tend to steer clear of weekends, which is when our younger "tipping" crowd comes in. I just hustle better in that environment. There have been other clubs I've worked at where I'd easily make $100-300 in stage tips on a busy night. Stage tipping is specific to the club culture... Stages aren't as "big of a deal" I guess, at the club I'm at now, whereas they were at the clubs I worked at in Denver. Also, I am better at selling rooms now than I was back then, so I don't think I go on stage all that often in a night, because my goal is to be off the rotation as often as possible.
“The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating -- in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around like rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.”

I just started a new club where the stage tips are better than theyve ever been..($100 for a set...but on multiple stages so really 6 songs for 3 different groups...which in writing this i realize is less than one would make for the equuivilent of lapdances which would be $180...) oh well, i love doing stage when the energy is up & im into the music. The club im at also doesnt really have a good place to scope customers, stage is really the best place to see everything goin on.
I think in part, aside from all the other variables stage size & shape play into it. A big stage obviously seats more & when your farther away you look more inaccesible, so people are litetally tipping for attention or to get a closer look. I worked for awhile at a place with a runway stage and dont think this was as profitable because the guy in tge seat across could get the same view as the guy tipping.
My new club also has something thats a novelty to me & also helps tips...theres a security guy who stands by stage & helps the girls up, then he gathers the $ and stacks it to the side during the set. Naturally this encourages people to throw more down. Then again this also creates anothet person to tip out at the end of the night, & this club already has a stiff mandatory tip out.
The main thing ill say to get stage tips that can generally apply: make eye contact & engage!!! I pulled a custy up to another girls stage last night, this girl was beautiful (the guys at the table called her a 10) i brought him stage side with about $10, i threw some around & tried to get her attention for him- she did not even notice!! She was eatching herself in the mirror & kinda staring off. I ended up keeping $5 of it since she didnt come for it, & we ended up not inviting her back to the table, so she missed out on ld sales. I also made a nice stack off a bachlorette party, i told the girl coming behind me they were fun & tipped good. But then she just danced vacantly in front if them. Size up your customers & interact with them!
