    Thumbs up LOS ANGELES DANCERS! is it worth it?

    I am about to apply, after visiting some clubs, to audition to become a stripper. Ive been reading and researching like crazy on here to get tips and decide if this is the right choice for me.

    Ive read a TON that there is no money in LA? I live in LA and am looking to strip in the hollywood/weho area but if strippers are only making $100/night is it worth it? Or is this an exageration? I dont want to bust my ass (and shake it too!) for no return.

    Are some clubs better? Any recommendations in the LA area would be SUPER helpful.

    love ya!

    I am fine with lap dances. Dancing on stage in any form. No finger banging.

    Any info I have is probably outdated. LA is tough.

    lmfao!! be prepared to make even less than $100 some nights especially when your just starting out. In my opinion, dancing in the LA area is good side income but take my advice when I say you don't want to depend on it being your main source of income when you are just starting out if you plan on being a clean dancer and not doing any extras
    But keep your day job and work occasionally on the weekends for side income, in time you'll get more comfortable with it and better at it and start making more money. Maybe even start out as a waitress at a club

    Best thing to do is to try a few. But if you find you're making no money for it to be worth it to you, definitely look into other jobs. I personally would not dance for $100 a night.

    Sorry couldn't be much of help, I haven't danced in LA. But I knew girls outside of this website who lived in LA and would commute to Vegas to dance on the weekends, because it was so much better (and they also said LA sucked).

    You might consider getting out of town. I'm considering Temecula as it is a rather wealthy area with relatively few strip clubs. Your chances of finding a whale are better in locations like that.

    I worked in Hollywood for several years & did ok, however most guys are gonna want to grab your boobs or ass bc it's the norm down there. I somehow always tried to dodge it but wouldn't get repeat business. Most of the girls I worked with allowed guys to do most anything they wanted in the VIP areas. I'd often see girls rubbing guy's dicks outside their pants during the dances & I'm sorry but for $25 that shit ain't kosher to me. Also most of the club mngrs in Hollywood are all in cahoots together & are some of the slimiest dirtbags ever to work for. Try & work on the outskirts of LA if you can, like Tour suggested ^. The valley is pretty gross also. Good Luck! Ca in general sucks ass for dancing which is why I travel mostly now.

    Ive danced 3 days in LA. New dancer. made around $200 first two nights and made $530 3rd night.
    a girl there said on average she makes $400 a night there. Def high contact. Im new so learning my way around, but definitely need to perfect my closing statement and get better at lap dances. I think if your a good hustler you could do well. PM me if you want

    LA is tough but you can still make it without doing extras. An income above minimum wage is better than no income at all so why not give it a shot?
    Contact such as boob and ass touching is expected, but you don't need to get finger banged or touch a boner in order to get decent income.

    no you can make decent money in LA if your hustle is on point, but even then don't expect to make money every night, especially when you are new. if you have a bad night just learn from it. look at it this way: invest a little time into working the clubs in LA you might not be making bank but once you get comfortable with the job and good at what you do you can start working in other states but i don't recommend traveling till you feel like you are good at selling dances. Invest in dancer wealth and really master your craft. I second what was said about the outskirts of LA being better than downtown. And dont bother with vegas just yet even there the money is seasonal

    I got the job. Got hired on the spot and worked that night. BEST part is none of the dancers said they could tell it was my first day stripping EVER. Even the boss was impressed with me because I got 1 guy to buy 6 lap dances. I did pretty ok The tip out is depressing though, I was like "Yay! $400! oh wait no thats $250. Poop." But hey. $ is $. Thanks guys for your help
