    Default Lapdance dropped to $10 in Toronto!

    It was in the newspaper yesterday that the House of Lancaster in Toronto Canada dropped the lapdance price to ten dollars!

    Apparently they were packed! :o

    If this works out the rest of the clubs in Toronto will have to follow suit, apparantly the management had a meeting with all the dancers and everyone was in agreement. :-/

    Holy crap.

    I'm holding out for when it drops to $9.57 a lap dance.

    Until last summer, on the main floor dances were 10 dollars,But they changed it to 20 dollars. The 10 dollar dances were air only no contact.
    But I can see how 10 dollar dances would bring in the crowds. Last night was dead at my club.
    Wonder how many clubs will follow suit???

    as soon as other clubs discover that 1/2 of their customers are now going to the Lancaster, they ALL will! End result, same amount of Toronto customers buying the same amount of lap dances (ok maybe 3 dances instead of 2 since they're a bit more affordable), with dancers earning $30 instead of $40 for giving 3 dances at $10 instead of 2 dances at $20. Considering that $30 Canadian is worth about $21 US, or $7 US per private dance, I definitely won't be coming north of the border any time soon. This must be the 'deflation' that all of the economists are worried about - 50% harder work for 2/3rds of the pay ...

    Raven this is VIP dancing not the ten dollar floor stuff ll clubs have but never promote, I am still in shock....

    Toronto is having a bit of a time, ie. SARS and we lost 7 major film projects which really boost our summer economy, tpurism at an all time low...hotels sitting empty...we are selling blue jay baseball tickets for 2 bux on special days ah man, its been a tuff year ladies.....this ten dollar lapdance yet another compromise.

    I am keeping an eye on it via posting boards and word of mouth....keep ya posted.

    Leigh!

    Is that a temporary solution? Like promotion of the club for certain period of time?

    I am concerned that it might be common practice in Ontario.

    Nope - apparently after reading thru the promotional material plus reading the mgr's posts online (another board, "TERB" are you familiar with it?) they have done this adjustment and are sticking with it.

    Matter of time whether it effects the rest of the pricing at clubs across Toronto and elsewhere. Hard to say - its never been done.

    Leigh, this HAS been tried in other areas - notably in areas where new anti-dance club ordinances have killed business. Cutting the private dance club prices did manage to sell air dances after contact dances weren't allowed. However, Toronto's situation is different in that SARS has killed the economy of the entire city. So for Toronto clubs it's not a matter of charging less in exchange for less (air dances) - it's charging less in exchange for just as much! This is symptomatic of not enough club customers with not enough money to spend to support the amount of Toronto clubs and Toronto dancers.

    Jade, I would assume that one of three things will happen now. Either some clubs will stick to the $20 dances and start increasing mileage to retain/attract customers (and there are already some pretty heavy duty mileage clubs in suburban Toronto!), some clubs will simply go out of business, and the remaining clubs will be more or less forced to match the $10 private dance price to stay competitive.

    I had a chat with my club manager when I heard about this going on, and he assured me our club would not follow suit. Hopefully he won't change his mind. A couple male customers I mentioned this to said they would rather pay 20$ per song and have the dancer in a good mood than get a 10$ dance from a crabby, angry, feeling-ripped-off dancer! Also, alot of the quality women who KNOW they can and should be making 20$ a song, will flock to other areas. 10$ for a lap dance?! I'd rather go back to tending bar! If all the guys I dance for are nice, and gentlemen, wouldn't be so bad,,,however, this is not the case, and 10$ simply isn't worth some of the crap we put up with.
    Frankly, I think this will simply make quality clientele who value a dancer's service the minority, and guys who think we are all "over paid lazy floozies" the majority. Not to mention alot more unhappy, bitter, miserable dancers!

    True enough, and I agree. But knowing how Canadians are with their money...those you spoke to about it --I would bet the farm they go check it out.
    As well, some other girls wrote on the board they would go see by dropping in to freelance if in fact (the price change) loosens up the pockets of those that didnt spend so much before are more apt to at this cut rate.

    Again, its a matter of time to see how this flies.

    Alot of the men on the one board said they went to that club even though it was not their regular club and they put some cash out, most if not all said they would be back. They also said they spread their money around to many more girls than they did previously because of this ten dollar dance.
    The manager said the girls are mixed in reviews so far but majority said their income picked up--- a smaller amount said it was the same and very few in number were the ones absolutely against it - which I thought was odd if they were against it why didnt they go to another club? Dunno - still keeping my ear to the ground.

    I will keep you posted on any price changes in Windsor, Ontario. If Windsor goes to $10.00 CN, the traffic will definately head from Detroit to Windsor through the tunnel. If the Windsor price drops, it MIGHT have a ripple effect in in the Detroit area, but not nation wide. Canada has legalized gay marriage, decriminalized small pot usage, legalized escorts, allowed nude dancing in clubs and now dropped the price of dances. Drinking age for beer and wine is 19. Detroit club owners are getting nervous.

    The traffic will be just STUPID on our border crossings and in the border city clubs if it does resonate that far this price change...damn, huh? WHew, so yes please let us know if the table dance drops in Windsor as well.
