    Default Info on Nite Moves Latham?

    HI there,

    Can anyone give me any information on Nite Moves in Latham? I know the capital district of NY is lousy for earnings but just how lousy? The club itself looks, ya know, nice I guess on the interior and it seems run better than the other crapholes I've seen around. I'm getting so sick of travelling to NYC and Springfield. I live about 50 minutes away (one way) and wondering if its remotely worth it.

    I tried Double Vision but I freakin hated one of the guys who ran it, and I can get along with anyone. I also didn't fit in at all (I looked more playboy than upstate NY, guess I gotta tone it down up here?)

    Literally any info at all would be wicked helpful.

    Thanks!

    I would thinking earning potential may only be $200/$300 a night.

    I knew some dancers who claimed to bank there, but it was hard for most because of how low the cuts on private dances were (forget the exact breakdown but I was appalled). Not sure when you tried Double Vision but their management has changed a lot in the last several years to my knowledge, although I did quit in 2007 so everything I've heard since then is secondhand. It may be worth a shot because it's the only club I hear capital region dancers rave about, but banking is still like, $600+.

    I feel you on the transportation burnout. I tried the long commute thing for two days before I decided to move to NYC.

    Yeah, I didn't have the best luck with Springfield, I think I was a little intimidating to the blue collar guys (least thats how I justified it to myself...also my hustle isn't tops) Just not consistent enough $$ for me, and I have a feeling Nite Moves would be the same thing. Can't work til 4am for 200-300 bucks!

    I emailed them about earnings and the guy (who is very nice and responsive) said that some girls barely scrape by and others are buying houses on 3 shifts/week. Hmmm.

    Double Vision. I could see that it had some potential especially in the late summer/fall... but banking there is definitely like 600 bucks if you can pry the guys away from the bar and the -better looking than the dancers- bartenders. All in all wish that one had worked out but that one guy...couldn't stand him, gave off a sleazy vibe and seemed to run the whole show. Walked out.

    Gotta get back to Centerfolds Boston...but talk about a friggin commute!

    I only went to Springfield for a few days, and it was weird. Mardi Gras presented itself as an upscale place and recommended upscale (for the area) prices in VIP, but who was I going to hustle, the guys who put their chewing tobacco on my stage? Lots of beautiful girls for the wrong clientele. One time I narrowly avoided a full on catfight when one of the few big spenders came in and wanted to try out a room with the new girl. So yeah, you're probably right!

    Have you ever considered DiCarlo's? I know it has a reputation as a no money place, but I stayed there for five years. I did well and certainly wasn't the only one. There are a ton of dancers there who say they make $200 or less a night, but if you can get acclimated to the weird hustle and all the rules, it was possible to average $500 (when I was there at least). I know that's not like OMG WOW! money, but pretty good for that area IMO. They management is changing currently so they'll probably tweak the business model to provide more money making opportunities for everyone.

    Keep us updated if you decide to try anything in the area!

    Yeah, I know exactly what your talking about with Mardi Gras. I saw lots of pretty fine ladies there and the clientele...I mean, well, you know what I mean. I didn't know how anyone was making any money. Weird is right!

    Thanks for the DiCarlo's recommendation. When I first moved to the area DiCarlo's was actually the only place I was interested in trying. There was something about the set up that seemed neat. I have, however, read somewhere recently (maybe here, maybe tuscl) that they have indeed changed up the club/management/Mr. DiCarlo passed away or something....they are allowing private dances now and its like leading to extras problems and lots of young inexperienced dancers doing WAY too much for money....driving down everyone's earnings.

    If I'm wrong about this, anyone, please chime in!

    Well, when that started happening in late 2012 (I was still there) extras for that place literally meant sitting on a guy's lap, letting him touch your outer thighs, or flashing boobs in a dance. You would get fired if you were caught. I wouldn't be surprised if the extras everyone's talking about lately consist of grinding and allowing medium contact in the $50/song "room" (you keep $30, kinda sucks). Keep in mind how absurdly strict the place was for decades. I would be shocked if anyone was doing what would be considered an extra in your average club. But hey, maybe it did go downhill in the year and a half I've been gone.

    I also live in a low earnings potential area and have to travel a little over two hours away to get to any club where you can make more than 2-300 a night. The travel really does suck, but when I think of the other choice of dancing in my area for long hours and little money I'd rather shoot myself.

    I wouldn't believe management even if they do sound nice, they could be exaggerating those girls' earnings or misinterpreted their earnings, so even if they were being earnest their info could be false.


    I know this isn't very helpful but I would avoid most upstate NY clubs like the plague if possible. I can think of an exception though, not exactly in your area. PM me OP.

    FYI: DiCarlo's is going to close for a while and reopen with new mgmt. They want to make it more of a burlesque, female friendly place. I'm guessing this will wreak havoc on dancer income.

    I worked at DiCarlos for a short time recently... mostly quit because a) I wanted to travel and b) between tipping out security and cab fare (and I tip fairly) it would come to about $100 a night out of my earnings. And because this is the Capital District there isn't really a WHOLE lot of earning potential. But DiCarlos is definitely a lot better than the other clubs in the area IMO, the management is super cool and supportive, and yes, they have girls that do a lot of burlesque and more artsy sets but they also have girls that do your average stage sets, too. They don't strictly wants gals doing the artsy stuff.

    Also from what I saw it wasn't completely busy a lot but did draw in the most money of other clubs in the area customer wise... the first few nights I made %200 and then around $350 the next which isn't all that impressive but could be worse. Also I found that you didn't have to hustle as much as other places, either. I often had some dudes walk up to me asking for a dance after a stage set. But speaking of stage- HA. Very little tipping there unless there were bachelor parties or something.

    Also, didn't notice a lot of extras or anything but then again wasn't there long. Actually seemed like the girls were pretty verbally against doing extras there and DEFINITELY the new owners are. If you're going to dance in the Albany area, I'd reccomend this place over others.

    I've heard nite moves only pays you with a paycheck. And there's a lot of constant drama,etc. And management makes you work holidays.

    Yep, its all true. I worked at Nite Moves and it SUCKED. you would not believe how nasty and rotten the girls there are. I had to quit because of the constant drama, cattiness and harrassment. The management does nothing to solve problems, they let the girls get away with shit. and yeah every VIP you sell all goes in your paycheck, you dont get any money from it at the end of your shift. You rely entirely on tips. The owner made me work on Christmas day and he also made me work in snow storms in the middle of the night. He never closes the club, its so fucked up. Seriously, I would not recommend any club in the capital district!
