It seems to me dance prices have increased faster than the rate of inflation. The top club in my area just raised its dance price to $40. The other leading club is still $30. The top club was dead this Saturday.
I know the economy is not great, but I remember not too many years ago when clubs were packed on weekends. You had a hard time even getting a table. Now, on weekends I think the customers are outnumbered by the dancers sometimes. It seems to me that dance prices have risen beyond the level for a lot of customers to afford them.
At $40 a pop, it's made me really start wondering if a 3 minute dance is really worth it, and what else I could get for the same money. I don't know who sets the club's dance prices: the dancers or the club? But whoever it is, is getting too greedy, and may be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
I'm just curious if you dancers notice a significant change in customer volume/income when clubs raise dance prices, and your thoughts on the current dance prices.





fwiw.
