    Dizzy Slow days & house fees

    Im a newbie and been researching stripping. I've read that house fees and tip outs take alot of of your tips that you've earned for the night, but what if you dont have money for the house fees/ tip outs on slow days? Is it ok to pay it back another time or do you have to pay every night? I thought about working 3-4 days a week but its not guaranteed that ill have good nights, but if dont, i still have to pay the house fee. Im in philly, and i found out that at one club the house fee/ tipout is $55 a night.
    How many days a week do you girls work?
    Im considering travel dancing working on night shifts to hustle since you get the money faster. I know that the house fees and tip outs will probably be more, but i think it will be more worth it to travel and try this out in a city with high traffic. I know that if i worked day shifts down here mostly regulars come in, and its slow days. Should i try travel dancing out?

    Everywhere I have ever worked you couldn't leave till you made your house fee or you would get written up or fired. If it happens more than once more than likely you would be let go.

    I dunno. I wouldn't worry about that too much at this point. I've been dancing nine years in different parts of the country and that hasn't happened to me once. Not bragging, just saying if you work hard and smart, you should be alright : )

    Some clubs will let you just pay them back the next time you work. Honestly though, it shouldn't really happen that often since clubs set the house fees to be pretty reasonable according to the earning potential there. Most dancers do occasionally have days where they make nothing or next to nothing, but those days are few and far between and not something you should spend much energy worrying about.
    It definitely sucks to part with a portion of your hard-earned money at the end of the night, but $55 is not that much if you're still going home with several hundred bucks!

    Where i work the new girls have to pay it at the beginning of the shift, you can't work untill you pay tip out. I have been there for a few years so I pay it at the end of the night, and if I dont make it I add it to a tab but it takes a good year or so to get on that privlage level. 55 is pretty cheap tip out so you shouldn't have a problem making that.

    Ithnk you should try any local club in the tristate area first. Trust me I learned the hard way lol

    Everywhere is going to be different. It really depends on the club. but I make sure to bring my house fee in advance every night that way I don't have to worry if I am going to make it or not. Every night I work, I just set the money aside for my next house fee.

    I think it really just depends at the club. Some clubs have a set house fee where you just pay that amount either when you get to the club or when you leave for the night and then you can tip. Other clubs take a percentage of each lap dance/VIP that you do, that's how all the nude clubs work in LA. These LA clubs also have a separate "house fee" charge that is usually pretty low, like $20, but I have never been charged that fee if I did not do dances. And, if I only do one or two dances, these clubs have always worked with me on a sliding scale so I didn't go home with nothing.

    I second the suggestion of trying out dancing locally before even thinking of traveling to dance. Get comfortable in the club, work on your hustle, and then try out different areas.
