    I would say......about 10% of my earnings, on an average night, come from stage tips. The club I work at is majorily a table/vip dance hustling club.

    I'd say about 11-24% because it really depends. Most of my money is made in lapdances, but on a rare occurrance, I will see anywhere from $15 to as much as $100 for a stage set depending on the crowd and the music that is played. The most I ever made on stage was $100 and it was when I was dancing to KISS and a bunch of bikers were in the bar. Beginning of the night, kinda slow and KISS started to play and all of them showered me!! But that is rare. around $20 is the norm at my club for a stage set, sometimes less, but I've seen girls make good stage money too.

    10% max although more is definately possible at the club I work at. I see the stage as being the advertising, not the product. It's more an investment of my time.

    I would say about 60% of my money comes from tips. Rarely do customers tip us while we dance on the stage. I could dance right in front of the customer for a whole song and never receive a tip on stage - even after holding out my garter several times. We do a 'tip walk' at the end of each set so we get money everytime we dance on stage. After that, I then try to sell private shows or couch dances. So, if we have a bad night, and no one buys private dances, at least we get to keep all of our tips.

    Often I get multi-dollar showers, frequently I get $5, on occasion I get $20. But stage tips usually go to tipout the DJ and manager.

    Depends what club I work at, and what shift. After tip out, (stage fee, manager, dj, floater, bartender, bouncer, valet, and 10 bucks per each of my dances) I am left without singles, so I use the stage to cover my costs. I goal myself on making the number of dances it takes to make my goal per shift.

    I don't make shit on stage. Few of the girls in my club do. It has to do with the way the club is laid out. In addition to the (paid) VIP and Champagne rooms, there are several other more secluded areas with comfy couches and blackjack tables away from the stages that do not require a fee. The guys with money tend to gravitate toward those areas. That leaves all of the "a buck here, a buck there" guys and the complete non-tippers on the main floor most of the time. It's all about the hustle there!

    It depends on the club.Large clubs with lots of girls usually yield few stage tips as the eye candy of lots of girls walking the floor overshadows the stage.

    In some smaller town clubs where the stage is pushed and where you go up once an hour or so, 1/2 of your money could come from stage. Typically in clubs like that, probably 4-10 girls work at one time so the guys connect more with the dancers.

    I'd say about 5% of my money is made from stage tips. It's more of an advertising tool. It's also one of the main reasons I don't mind being skipped on stage when I could be doing private dances (where the money is)

    I skewed the results

    We get paid per show up here...most dancer get at least 70% of their income from stage, for many it's 95+%.

    Some nights, I'll get a high roller that will drop a few $20's in my garter while on stage, for the most part, though, If I walk off the stage with any singles, it's a plus. The stage probably nets me about 1% of my nightly earnings.

    Most of the time I'd say stage money covers my tipouts .

    I do have a few regs who tip big on stage, but it's only a couple of times a month that stage nets a large portion of the shifts earnings.

    At the clubs I work here in Portland (OR), almost all of my money comes from stage. I'm onstage for 15-20 minutes at a time, every 15-20 minutes! It leaves very little time to hustle private dances between stage sets. I'd love to work at a club where I had more time on the floor, but there aren't too many clubs like that here

    I answered 11-24%, as usually I make anywhere from $2-$10 or so per stage set, and do five or so per night. The bulk of my money is from VIP dances and tips from those.

    10%max for me as well. We really can't do floor shows so I think that really limits what we can make for stage sometimes I will go onstage for a set and it is very common to not get even a dollar. But we at the club make are money doing table dances anyways.

    I would bet I get 90% of my money from stage. I work very hard to be a stage performer and that is where I find my greatest happiness. I refuse to hustle and I am lucky to work in a small club (4 - 5 dancers a shift) where I can dance my butt off to earn my living.

    The other 9% come from the hostage dances I do, which is a short bondage session and the other 1% would be my couch dances.

    It's a mouse thing. You wouldn't understand.

    I think how much each girl makes on stage depends more on how a club is set up.

    Hmm, a random guess, I would say about 25%, which for Vegas, where the clubs are all about lap dances, is quite alot. I always make something on stage, no matter how crappy the show I do, and I NEVER do pole tricks. Some nights I've made hundreds of dollars on stage while I've made little lap dancing...go figure. Since I only tip out on the lap dances I do, that still equals money in my pocket.
