    Default Ladies (and DJs) - Avg. Song Length in your Club?

    What is the average song length you either dance to, or put your dancers up to?

    I've seen some posts where the dancers are saying they dance to 7-8-9 minute songs.

    While the club I work at, the mgmt. wants songs faded out at 3 - 3:30 so that every table dance is the same as every other table dance and nobody feels cheated.

    Also, how many songs do you ladies do in the sets at your club?

    And, where is your club (the city, not the name of the club), if you feel okay about stating that information. If you don't, that's fine too.
    Just so we can kind of get an idea about what parts of the country have what kind of standards.

    I thought I was losing my mind when I read some of those posts.
    I'm like, "7-9 minute songs?...and how many do you have to do on stage?....meaning you're on stage for 15-27 minutes?......have you tried out for the Olympics gynastics team?"

    I thought 3 minutes was about the norm, but I saw 7+ minutes on multiple posts, so I thought I'd ask.

    In our club, there are no dances. So I would have to say that the songs get played from beginning to end, with enough music to fill for a 20-30 minute set. We usually dance to 6 songs. Just my estimate!

    The longest I'm on stage for an average set a night is 5-6 minutes (3 minutes a song) and for a feature show or pageant, anywhere from 12-20 minutes.

    3 minutes to 3:15 is the norm every now and then I run a little over but I try not to.

    avg. song length 3-3:30 min. but I did work at a high volume club where the dj would cut the songs as short as 1:45 late Fri/Sat night...cha-ching!

    From a DJs standpoint

    Usually I'd never leave a girl on stage more than 3:30 min unless she's making MONEY. Otherwise songs usually stayed under 4 min unless it was a feature.

    I did once have a girl pull about $400 on stage once to type O neg so I let the whole song play than played it again.

    I've been a D.J. and a dancer here (Detroit) and we generally cut the songs at 3-3:30. Depends where the good cut point is. Some songs have to go a little longer. In The Air Tonight, for example. The drum breakdown is at some where around 3:45 or 3:50

    Generally 3:00 to 3:30 here in Reno, NV. At my current club, we have a lot of girls who play punk songs (ok, fewer now but still...) and those go for <3:00 which I think is bunk.

    It has been the same at all clubs I've been to/danced at here.

    our sets at the club i work at are usually about 10-15 min. depending on how many girls are working... sometimes the songs are a little over 3 minutes... but if the dj is feeling lazy he'll put on some long ass songs (like 9 min. songs) or slap on a dance cd... ugh.... our lapdances are only 4 min. long... we go by the clock not by the song... thank goodness.... i would die if i had to do a 9 min. dance for the price of 1!!!!

    I would say between 3-5 min depending on the song..when the dj gets in his techno faze they seem longer, dont know if they are or not but since you can also watch the music video on the big screens I dont think he is cutting the songs off...The club is in Vegas

    also, if you go on stage it's 2 songs on the first stage then rotate to the second for another 2 songs and then to the 3rd stage for the last 2 songs...

    We play the whole songs--4-6 minutes. I wish we had 3 minutes songs, I'd make a lot more money!

    In Chicago, the average song goes for about 3 minutes...we do two sets per stage appearance (so 6 minutes on stage...and lap dances are two songs as well).

    At my club (also in Reno, NV but a different club than Veronika&#039;s)... It depends on the Dj working. The really anal, boring DJ cuts songs off at exactly 3:30, which is cool b/c I get bored up on stage sometimes. The other DJ will let the song go anywehere from 3:30-4:30. We have 2 song sets.

    songs here can be as long as you want- but the DJ is supposed to cut them off so they don&#039;t go over 3 minutes.

    God, you guys are lucky! Up here all sets are 18 minutes, so usually 4 4:30 songs, or 3 6 minute ones, or 5 3:30 ones...or whatever fits together to make 18 minutes!

    Usually I play three and a half to four and a half minute songs, playing shorter songs as closing time approaches.

    If the dancer is going off onstage, the guys are loving it, and noone is in VIP, hell yes I&#039;ll let the song play as long as it lasts, otherwise you have to cut it out of respect for the girls in VIP. On occasion I will let a song play if the crowd is going wild, as I know it will pay us all in the end to have them hyped up and ready to spend all their cash.

    In that case I will be sure to let the girls in VIP know why, and offer to compensate them, or tell them to take a bit out of my tip if they want. This works much better in smaller clubs, obviously, but that&#039;s where I prefer to work anyway--I have no desire to work in a lapdance factory, no matter how much more I could make. From my experience, if we have that kind of crowd, everyone banks and noone minds an occasional long song.

    If it&#039;s one of those stupid fucking T shirt specials I will play the shortest songs I have. Some excellent songs are only a little over two minutes, like The Cult&#039;s "Lil&#039; Devil", for example, or the part of "Insomnia" where it actually kicks into the song.

    when i burn cds i try to make all the songs 3-5 min just incase the dj plays the whole thing. if its really good ill let it go up to 5:30, or even put a two min one on sometiems.... where i am now (syracuse) the dj cuts it off when (s)he feels that the crowd isnt tipping, or that the girl is getting bored/tired. the exact length dosnt matter because vip dances are done to timers that beep when 4 min is up. thats kinda a cool idea, but it remindes the guy every 4 min he is spending another $20.

    columbus ohio:
    3 songs- one stage; dressed, topless, nude
    3-4 songs- 3-4 stages; dressed, topless, more topless, shoeless (to not hurt the special 4th stage
    2 songs- one stage; dressed, topless

    jacksonville flordia:
    1 song- one stage; dressed untill $5 on stage, then nude (great idea, pay per view!)

    syracuse new york:
    3 songs- one stage; dressed, topless (or bottomless), nude
