    Default Shift length

    What length of shift does everyone recommend for newbies? I know there are many factors, just trying to get a general idea if it will work into my current schedule. (Looking to do this in addition to my current job) Thanks

    All clubs do it differently. Sm clubs let you come&gôas you please, sm require minimum #days & most will require minimum #/hrs even if they let you choose when/how many days you work. This is smtg the individual club controls much moreso than the dancer so you will just have to see how the clubs in your area work.

    When I started I would work 6 hours then as my hustle was fine tuned I could make the same amount in 4 hours.

    Thank my lucky stars our club has no mandatory schedule / time frames or I'd be f*cked.

    Is a compulsory 8 hour shift normal or to be expected?? I think that is a tad too much. But I am new to this, I was expecting 4-5 hours at most.

    I started out 7 hours, but about a month or so in I do 9 and it flies by, if long shifts are mandatory trust me you'll get used to it.

    Almost everywhere I have worked required 7-8hrs. Occasionally might be able to sweet talk the mgr into going home early when it was really slow.

    ^It really depends on the area though. All the clubs in my city require 5 hour shifts. Other cities I've worked required open to close (no day shifts in these cases), which ended up being 6-8 hours depending on the specific club.

    OP - why don't you check out reviews of the clubs in your area? Often the minimum shift will be posted in a review. If it's not, you can just send a PM to anyone who left a review. Many ladies on here are happy to answer questions beyond their reviews, especially logistic ones like that. No sense in us telling you that you should plan for 5 hour shifts if the club you end up working at requires 8 hours, yanno?

    My club does a minimum 4 hour shift, but they raise house fees for every 30 minutes under an 8 hour shift. I'd check to see if you can work out something like that - it lets you work shifts tailored to your schedule, and you can maximize your time in the club.
    The whole world steps aside for the one who knows where she's going.

    My club, you're there until 7pm if you're an AM girl, typically. If it gets really busy towards the evening, they might let you go home early, but that's also when there's money to be made. Most of us show up 11am-1pm (for the cheap house fee) and then spend the day trying new things on stage (because there's only 1-4 customers), chatting, and just hanging out. Then the evening comes, we make our money, and we've got the cheapest house fees because we came in early.

    Not everyone looks through all new posts, so PMing someone who has worked in the area is your best bet. You could also just call the club and ask before going in for auditions. There's just so little point in us recommending shift lengths when they really come down to what the club requires.

    When I start I'm going to stay as long as possible, even if I just sit back and observe...but I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not?

    This is a very physically, mentally & emotionally demanding job. You certainly have the option of staying past your required shift time if you want -- it's not like a vanilla job that's paying you so they want you clocked-out & gone at X-o'clock.

    But you need to take care of your physical & mental health above all. That's the key to lasting in this business. There is no point in staying longer if it's been a slow shift & therés minimal chance of improvement, or if you just spent 6-8hrs busting your ass & your body's saying 'Fk you, Îm tired, let's go home goddammit' Everything in moderation. When burnout hits, it hits HARD. The better you take care of yourself, the happier you will be & the more $$$$ you will make in the long run.

    Seems like a waste of your time, especially if you're already balancing dancing with another job. You can observe when it's quiet or when you're on stage, but considering you're paying to be there, your focus should be more on interacting with customers than anything else. Chatting up the customers will teach you far more about what is and isn't effective with which types of customers than just watching everyone else make money.

    Dayshift at my club was 12-7. If you got in past two, you had to pay a fee.
