    Default do some of you just Charge More per Dance?

    at the nude club i'm at, a lot of girls charge 50 percent more than the going rate (30 instead of 20 per dance). being new and clumsy, i don't know if that's the way to get repeat dances. but what little advice they gave me revolved around that (and wearing heels since it's less obvious then that i'm pigeon-toed). i'm curious to know if that works for anyone longterm? i'm in houston, home of high mileage, though i've successfully sold low/mid mileage dances to date. i am willing to hint that they should cost more since i'm TOTALLY NAKED, but i'm just not sure if that would turn guys off to repeat dances, which is what i'm shooting for. 2-4 dances from 6-8 guys per night shift is my current 'dancer goal'. any advice would be so helpful. thanks!

    I'm not sure of the specifics as I've never worked in Houston, however, if the going rate is $20 and a girl charges a customer $30 instead, I can't see that making the customer too happy. Is $20/dance what the club set? If so, it's definitely unfair for the dancers to be hiking their prices, and it will bite them in the ass in the long run.
    Like anything else, if I was expecting to pay one price, and then got charged another price, I'd be pissed and guaranteed not to buy again.

    it's not uncommon for the girls in nude places here to charge more per dance. the way nude clubs work in houston is that guys pay 10-20$ for a wristband that allows them to get 'vip' dances from any girl. so then the girl can either charge what topless girls charge (20$, and the clubs often enforce it), or she can charge more, on the premise that she's naked, not topless. i just don't know if it's viable long-term. the girls i know who most successfully charged extra were travelling dancers who didn't have to worry about returning customers.

    OOOh! Ok. Let me see if I've got this right- $20/dance is the price for a topless dance. But both topless and nude dances are available? And the club didn't set a standard price for the nude dances? If that's the case-that's a really tough call! I definitely think you should be getting more $$ for a nude dance than a topless one. What are all of the other girls (house girls) charging for nude? If everyone else is charging $30 for a nude dance, then you should be fine. It's when prices differ between dancers that it becomes a real problem. I'm actually suprised the club wouldn't set up the standard rate. Good luck!

    well, houston is kind of weird. nude clubs sometimes allow topless dances at the tables (full bottoms or thongs), but some allow NO TOPLESS dances, only private dances that guys have to purchase a wristband for. in general, most girls go 'if i get totally nekkid, it's 30 (40 if they really don't like him)'. i just want to transition to topless-only clubs smoothly and am wondering if it matters about the price at all, or if that's not an issue. i'm forgetful, and i can see myself saying 30 for a topless dance at a topless club that only allows 20$ dances (25 with credit card). that's why i posted. some chicks charge more for nude vs. bikini/topless. should i use that as a sales tactic? "sure the sign says MINIMUM 20$, that means you get me in a thong; 30$ gets me TOTALLY NAKED CRAWLING ALL OVER YOUR HOT BODY" i just wanna know if that sort of thing works for other girls in nude environments.

    I woudl definitely charge more for fully nude dances opposed to a topless. I think your responses are perfect.
    I wish I could help you further, unfortunately I've never heard of that situation! Usually types of dances have set prices. I work in a totally nude club and the dance price is set. *shrug* One nude club I did work in, offered topless dances, but again, the price was set (ie: topless 15/nude 20.

    Instead of just flat-out asking them if they want a $30 dance, why not just ask if they want a $20 or a $30 (or something similar)? It gives customers an option and will not undercut your custom. In fact, you will have an edge as you offer a standard and an ''upgraded'' dance. And you shouldn't get turned down by those on a budget.

    So the key thing is to go home and practice dancing so that you have a good ''standard'' dance and another dance that is slightly better (but do not sink to the extras level - not like I'm suggesting you will )

    Personally, I'm not a fan of this system too much, but in a place where they are overcharging, you gotta sharpen your tactics.

    malibu, i will try the bottoms or TOTALLY NAKED approach today. i'm going to be there 10-12 hours and it's a club where there aren't too many extras girls (one plus of houston nude clubs). if it goes well, i'll continue that approach as long as i choose to work totally nude in houston.

    I don't think you should hint at anything be clear and direct. I like the $20 topless or $30 nude approach (or insert your own dollar amount) As long as you are charging what other girls are currently charging there should be no risk of turning off repeat customers. It's the constant undercutting that burns my ass. example: a girl who always and only does 2 4 1's.

    I worked at a club where dances were $20 but the manager told me I could charge $100 per song if I wanted to. The point is to be upfront you really shouldn't smack him with hidden fees after the dances.

    Also, although most clubs have set prices, I think there is room for flexibility as long as you negotiate beforehand. Another example: I was working in a high grind club and this guy was crossing the line (imo). My options? a) stop dancing b) silently seethe and keep dancing c) tell him "you are totally not allowed to do that if you keep doing that I'm going to charge double per dance"

    I opted for C and he agreed. All he was doing was grabbing my thighs and "helping" me grind. Gross. but I still got up, changed position...you get the picture. He paid for 10 dances.
