    Default Stage Tips

    Ok I've been looking around recently for a new club and my friend Nicole who wants to be a stripper has been looking with me and we went to the Empress which is also an 18 and up nude club. While we were sitting there watching I wasn't paying attention but Nicole said (very loudly I might add) that these girls were only making like 3-5 dollars on stage and the club was packed.

    Now this is not normal at my club, but I was wondering how much everyone makes on stage? I told her that the stage is not where you make your money, at least not here, but I definitely don't make $3 in one set! What's the average?

    It depends on how many guys are in the room. I usually make 1-5 dollars from each guy. Every once in a while I get a 10 or 20. Good self-esteem builders

    I would say an average of $30 on the stage. Off course there are "those days" when my customer just floods the stage with 5's and 10's.

    Once I actually got $100 bill on the stage, the guy was admiring me for 2 and a half songs then gently put it in my garter... now that got my attention!

    Totally depends on the number of people around the stage. On a Friday or Saturday if I get to dance, a good average would be $50 or $60. On a slower night it would be $20 or $30. If no one is at the stage, I dance my little heart out to bring people to the stage. That makes me feel good. When it starts out empty and I leave it with 8 or 9 people.

    I got 4 $20 from a pretty lady once. She was there by herself and accompanied by two dancers. I don't think she could speak English because she never said a word. She was spending lots that night.

    Average for me is anywhere from $10 to $50 - more customers=more tips. I don't generally take stage tipping into heavy consideration when choosing a new club, because as you stated, that's not where the money is. BUT, in some cases, the flow of stage tips can be an indication of how easily the customers in a particular club spend their money on the girls. From my experience, clubs where 18-year-olds are allowed that don't have good stage-tipping, probably aren't very profitable overall. As we all know, most 18-year-olds don't have much money to spend. In most clubs where stage-tipping is good, there is usually decent money to be made overall, no matter who they allow in the door, but there are LOTS of clubs where stage-tipping is virtually nonexistent, and earnings potential is good.

    I would do a little more investigation - go back on another busy night, and watch the dancers on the floor. How many girls working, vs how many dances going on during your visit. How many girls you see doing multiple dances in a row. Do girls seem to spend alot of time sitting and nothing else? Watch a few work the floor, and see how many people they approach vs how many actual dances they get. How much do dances cost? And so on. Then do the same thing on a slower night. That should give you a better picture of potential there.

    Thanx for the advice Bridgette I don't think I'm going to be taking this club into consideration because it's very small, you have to sit at the stage there are no other seats. It was a Saturday night around 11:30 and it was packed, there was probably 6 or 7 girls working but I only saw 5 of them on stage, doing one song sets and then just cycling those girls through over and over. Not one of them came out of the dressing room long enough to even look at a customer. I saw only 2 girls give lap dances the entire time I was there, so that club is out for me. I didn't feel very comfortable there.

    The club has to be very busy! We can't help that tho. And if you outstanding stage shows you can grab alot of attention from the tables. I got to use my Python a few times (dancers are scared, so that stopped,) and the attraction was GREAT!

    After i could not use my snake anymore, i did theme shows, dressed like a cop, nurse etc. With the right music, and the pole was a big attraction too! (i fell alot, so maybe that helped.)

    You have to stand out from the rest on stage, try to be the only one on stage, as some clubs have more than one stage. And get the music louder than normal (a good tip will do that) jump to it.

    I loved to watch rock bands, and how they did concerts! people love them. I would do my own thing, like a one person concert.

    Problem.....Other dancers will sooner or later take up pretty much the same outfit, dance and music. I LOVED THE STAGE, AND DID VERY GOOD. I had to, i hate lap dances.

    Oh I am envious of you girls! I work in Michigan and stage tipping is ridiculously non-existent at the upscale clubs. The clientele is older and stage dancing is definitely not a focus of the club atmosphere. Money is made solely during laps.

    I started on day shift and probably made an average of $10 on stage all day. Nights are maybe a little bit better, probably a nightly average of $20. I think this is because many of the girls do not dance enthusiastically and also that most of the seating does not have easy access to stageside. Luckily, the club has overall high earning potential.

    OMG! Someone from Michigan!
    I feel you, Jayln! Stage tipping can do wonders for the self esteem... but it just doesn't happen for us, does it?

    I love when I get tips on stage... But I totally agree with you (Jayln) that our "gentlemen" clients prefer to spend their $$$ in the VIPs.

    (Good luck!)
