    Default Vancouver,BC

    ??? I want to eventually move up to Vancouver,BC. Does anyone know what club is the best to work at there? Anyone worked up there before? Any help would be appreciated. I've never been there. I do know that I will be bringing my passport and probably driving there. So I'll have transpotation, but that's about all I know of the area. Thanks

    Hi--

    Vancouver works on a different premise than most places- barring one or two clubs in town, you pretty much have to book through one of two agencies, who then put you on a weekly rotation amongst the clubs in town. So you'll work at one club for a week, then a new one the next week and so on, usually for about a 2-3 month cycle. You'll have paid shows, 4-6 a day, and private dancing is optional where it's even an option. Your showprice is based on a lot of things, namely your 'look', experience, crowd-pleasing ability, costume quality etc...

    Feel free to ask any questions, or you can drop by www.nakedtruth.ca/forum, which is a forum for dancers in BC. If you come up here I'm sure I'll work with you at some point!

    Thanks. This does help. I want to evitually move up there but think that it would be fun to dance there also. Do they do house fees like they do here in New Orleans? ya know where you pay the club to work? or Do they pay the dancer? Thanks again for the help.

    The club pays the dancer a price per show, and there are deductions off of that for agent fees (15%), SOCAN (paying the music industry for use of copyrighted music, usually about $1.50/song) and if you happen to be late or whatnot there are fines...but no house fees per say!

    Hi there I am also thinking of working in B.C. I was wondering what dancers average there per nite, and if it is difficult to work there if you are from the U.S.
    Whistler seems to be pretty upscale and I saw that there is an exotic show 3 nites per week at the BC boot pub. Does anyone know anything about Whistler????

    The most important thing to know about working in BC is that with very few exceptions, EVERYONE must be booked on a weekly basis through an agent. Whistler is booked by www.strippernet.com

    Nightly income varies, but you can't count on more than $300 as a circuit dancer, usually less. But, it's low-pressure and laid-back, so to many the pay cut is worth it.

    Some agencies are les stringent than others about getting documentation, but I think a US citizen would be better off trying for a VIP position- through the agencies or directly through the clubs (Van only). Good Luck!
