    Default How much are you charging?

    Hey
    How much do you charge for a lap dance? I know the standard is $20, but I'm wondering if any of you ladies are walking out with more $$ bc you charge more. And customers, how much are you getting charged per dance?
    Thanks!

    Many customers are haggling over the price of dances these days. Check out some other sites like and

    $20 is already too much money for a dance. Dances in Houston are supposedly $20 per dance but I usually haggle and get them for $10

    There goes LOVER again. PANDA $20 is a reasonable amount and I have no problem paying that amount. Usually I pay 20+5 for one 40+10 for two up to 80+20 for four.

    I KNOW LOVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    But I do make $25/hr with at least 10-20 hours of OT a week, so I do not mind sharing. The club I go to has been hit hard because of layoffs in a factory that makes Helicopters (Connecticut). I went in one day and the dancers were all crying. None (three dancers) made more than $50 for a six hour day shift, with an hour to go. At least 2 made $80 plus the last hour, and one $90.

    $20 seems to be the National norm but are by NO means the Standard. In major St Louis Clubs dances are $40 (often done 3/100) while in smaller Clubs in IL, KS & OK dances are $10. I know quite a few dancers that earn more overall doing $10 dances as opposed to the girls doing $40 dances (Agreed that they work 4 times as hard but it's better than NOT working) . You have to base your rates on the market and that includes the customer base on any given night. A dancer charging more will have much more fluctuation in income than one charging consistently less. You have to average long term.

    Yes, at my club dances are $20 but I work in Canada and that only equals out to about $14 American. Sometimes I get lucky and Americans don't switch over their money. What drives me nuts is, some of my customers that I know from Buffalo come see me in Canada, but before they come over they switch their money to Canadian when they KNOW that means I will have to switch it back over ???

    I don't understand that, maybe I should hint that I live in AMERICA and would prefer AMERICAN money so I can make closer to what I think I am worth.

    Well at the club I used to work at (I'm in the process of switching clubs) the dance prices are set - so guys can't haggle so much.

    It is only really the first dance that the price is set with... what you charge after that is up to the dancer's discretion.

    For instance, I knew one dancer who would only do $100 private dances and then offer the customer a deal to continue for $50 per 15 minutes. She could make a killing on some nights because of this...

    At the same time tho', I did wish that the club did offer $20 - One song lap/private dances.... would've made life easier.

    Anyway... this is from an Australian. Some customers over here will haggle with you however I've found that if you make it clear that the management set the price not you etc... that can work in your favour.

    Topless contact lap dances have been $20 most places I've been, from the Mississippi to the West Coast and points in between.

    A table/air dance will be $10, $15, or sometimes $20, but the $20 ones don't sell.

    Haggling is unmanly. If you don't like the price, don't get the dance. I know what the dancers I've worked with think of the guys who do this (usually when they are asking if I can manage to play short songs cuz they just made a deal with some geek), and I wouldn't be in their shoes for any amount of money.

    I always charge $20, which is the house standard. I never give price breaks, even for multiple dances, because I feel that a dance is worth a MINIMUM of $20. It bugs me when girls undercharge. I think we're all worth more then what we get now, not less.

    $20/per song here. I don't give price breaks unless you consider when the club will occassionally run 2-4-1s (which I hate and usually sneak out of ) but we all know that those 2-4-1s aren't really....

    I charge the going rate in the club - there can be $10 but for most of the time it's $20 - I'll do the specials because hey, money is money, and $10 for 4 minutes is still ok. I'm just glad it's not $10 all of the time because I would be exhausted! It's not uncommon for me to get tipped extra on dances, but I don't ask for it. I hate it when waitresses ask for their tip, so I'm not going to do it.

    Now, if you want to do a special dance and charge extra for that, that actually made me money - doing bachelor dances or wax dances, or whatnot, depending on what the club allows. I think that to credibly ask for more than the going rate, you'll need to offer something different than the going dance - by this I don't mean a handjob, just something unique, like a great 2-girl dance.

    With me it all depends. In NJ some clubs take either 1/2 of ALL lapdance money or let you keep all the money. Now mathamatically I have found that I make more money when I give guys deals. They basically spend more money with out even thinking aoubt it. Also it depends on how long dances are at the particular club that I am dancing at. Sometimes the time length of a dance can vary from 3-5 minutes. What I usually do (expecially on slow night where getting dances are harder than extracting blood from a stone), i'll give deals. Usually if the guy is getting more than three dances. This works great for me because I'm making more money. BUT it all depends on the setup of the club. If the club takes some of the lapdance money, no deals. But if they let me keep all then I have room to work with. This trick works the same way that department stores trick you into buying more items by saving you $5. You think your making out like a bandit because you saved $5, but they end up with the extra item sale. For instance, what I will do is give a deal if a guy is getting more that 3 dances. I'll say 3 dances for $40 (each dance being $15) all I am loosing in this deal is $5 . Or I should say gaining because he might have only wanted to spend $30 but since I dropped the price of the third dance to $10 the can get an extra dances. It is all economics to me. I have worked in clubs where I only walk away with $10 after a 4 min dance so for me to get $15 or $20 I am more than willing to shave off $5 here and there when it's a slow night. All the girls I work with think I'm doing extras but that is never the case. All I do is give guys a deal the can't say no to. Here are some other deals: 4 for $50 (where each dance is $15) and 4 for $70 where each dance is $20. You have to have a dollar amount in your head that is alright to "loose" mine is <=$15. As you can see my math minor helped me come up with this. Also it boost you probabilty of getting dances and more of them when you do this (at least this has been my experience). Funny thing is I don't haggle. That's my "lowest price".

    In some of the clubs where I have worked, the management and dancers really frown on dancers underpricing dances or giving deals. In other clubs they could care less. It's important to know the setup, because if you offer a customer a deal in a club that doesn't allow this, you could be in for some nasty repercussions.

    I hate haggling over the price of dances. I wish they'd post them somewhere.

    This is how I wished the "rate schedule" would work at a club with respect to private dances (air, lap, doesn't matter). If a club had this, I might be inclined to buy multiple dances from the same girl. Otherwise I tend to stop after one or two.

    Whatever the going rate is, $10, $15, $20 etc. That should be the "base rate" charged per song.

    Every third song (#3, #6, #9) is at a discount (half price?). If the customer buys nine dances, then #10 is a freebie. If my math is correct thats a 25% discount if the customer goes the full ten. Mind you he(she) has to buy them from the SAME dancer on the SAME night.

    I was just wondering if any of you ladies would agree to that if your club's management gave you that discretion or would work in a club where that was the rule. I suppose it would depend upon a number of factors. It certainly would be better than giving up 50% on a 2-for-1.

    The only place I EVER overcharged and 1. got away with it and 2. it worked to my benefit was at DeJaVu. Simply because every girl charged a different amount (for different levels of contact) guys knew they could haggle. Of course, $20 was the minimum for a low contact dance up to $700/half hour for full service champagne room.

    In Vegas, it doesn't work. There are simply enough girls that charge $20 that overcharging would price you out of the market. At my local club in Phoenix, the management would fine or fire you if you overcharged and a customer complained....although many times customers give me $20 per dance anyway.

    The price varies with the club. Some clubs have $10 dances, some have $20 dances, some do $1 dances for 30 seconds. I NEVER charge mo than the going rate for a dance, and if a guy is short on money and bought a dance I might cut the price. I ALWAYS ask for a tip when I finish dancing.

    Money is an issue to guys. $20 for a dance is a lot to an average person and most people aren't rich.

    Let me ask you ladies something. I have been in clubs, where they have 25-30 dancers a nite. Now, usually early in the evening, especially on a Sat nite, these bars are dead til around 10:00 or so. There are only about 10 customers in the club at this time. So you have 30 dancers to 10 customers. When I look around, I see dancers sitting by themselves smoking cigarettes, talking amongst themselves or some actually going around asking for customers for dances. My question is, wouldnt it be smarter, to lower the cost of your dance at this time (as long as the club doesnt monitor the dances), so you can make some money, as opposed to making nothing? Then you hear about dancers bitching, that nobody wants dances and they arent making any money. Not to be rude, but that is a normal business sense. In my business, my boss has certain profit margins I am supposed to get. But during the slow season, he wants me to get whatever job I can get for us, even if it is less profit, as some profit is better than no profit! I dont want you ladies to jump on me, cuz I always pay my $20.00 for a dance and I never haggle (it isnt my nature). Or is it that you are afraid that other dancers in the club will find out what you are doing, and they will rip you a new asshole if you do that? In other words peer pressure!

    certain clubs allow the dancer to "negotiate" private dance prices with customers based on what the customer is willing to pay and what the dancer is "promising" during the private dance. One club north of the NYC city limits routinely commands $40 per private dance prices for heavy grindage from stunningly beautiful dancers, with the dancer allowed to keep it all (but a stiff stage fee). Other clubs not far away set a $20 dance price with the club claiming a split but without a stage fee. It seems to depend on the "class factor" of the club, with the sleazier clubs commanding the highest prices (of course a lot more than an air dance is expected, but extras cost extra).
