    Default Do you make more than me? Check it out...

    Hi.

    Gosh I am getting so fed up. I''ve been dancing for a couple years and I've hit my 'earnings peak' at my home club. Summers are very slow here, my $$ is down 25% at least.

    I really need about $20k and it's taking forever to scrape it together. I need to find a club with higher $$ potential.

    Here's what I've earned my last 15 shifts (4 hours each) after tip-out:

    $
    660
    860
    680
    420
    420
    520
    320
    600
    1200
    280
    750
    350
    680
    480
    550

    To dancers earning MORE than me, can you give me a suggestion of a city and club to visit for a couple months?? PM me or post here...

    Appreciate it so much!

    Fuck that, where are you? I'd be thrilled with numbers like that in the summertime.

    There is a total of $8,770 for the 15 shifts which is cited. Average of $585 per shift.
    Each shift is 4 hours. So, an average of $146.25 per hour.
    This is real fine, I wish I was making this much.
    But each person's financial needs and situation is different.
    If this is not enough, then that is your call.

    There's really not many great clubs down by the Jersey shore though.
    Anyway, for 4 HOURS those earnings are definitely good! why can't you just work a longer shift?

    LOL and I thought you were bragging! $126 an hour on average is pretty friggin' amazing. To earn $585 a shift, give or take a couple of hundred bucks, consistently, I have to say I'm more impressed than anything else.

    Now what about candygrrl's suggestion about working longer shifts? Theoretically you can double your money if you work 8 hour shifts and are able to keep up your earnings consistency.

    Why are you complaining? Those are OUTSTANDING figures any time of the year. WAAAY more than the average dancer makes after tip outs. Especially for a 4 hour shift.

    $20,000 is a large sum of money. You have to give yourself a realistic time frame for saving it.

    Income POTENTIAL is a lot different that CONSISTENT income.

    There are many clubs that have high income potential, where you may have a $1200 night as you said you had, but where nights in between may be $100-$200.

    Earnings depend on the specific dancer. How good a sales person she is, how well she works the floor, how well she builds and keeps in touch with regulars, just to name a few things.

    If you are averaging $585 per shift and can continue this average, given many variables in this business that affect income, work 6 nights a week, and save 1/3 of what you make you will have $20,000 in a little over 4 months, which is an excellent time frame to save that type of money in this business.

    Oh my... I love those figures.. and in just 4 hours too! I'm good at what I do however even at the club I'm within.. making that type of money consistently isn't a given. Ah.. I would say be thankful.. very thankful.. that you are earning that type of money.

    Alot of dancers are over-joyed at making $200 a night consistently let alone anything more.... then again, depends on many variables (as has been already said/posted).

    In the end, you need to work out a realistic time frame .. even if it takes one year.

    I'm naturally assuming that the figures you quoted are your gross earnings that you take home (after tip-outs, stage fees and so forth)... ??

    Girl I wish I'd make that much in an 8 hour shift! I'd just work more if you need more money.

    Those arent bad earnings. Dont sweat it girlie! True, some women make more.. but the majority do less.

    If you want to make major money during the summer i would travel to new jersey shore like mel suggested or any vacation spot up north to dance. That is where the money is during the summer.

    Im stuck in florida... and it sucks this time of year...

    So now you don't want to divulge where you work? Your earnings sound like about my average. If you want to earn more, start sleeping with your customers or something.......

    i ran into the same problem with dancing. i was earning ok money, but incidental expenses ate up so much of my money i could only save a few hundred, sometimes 1k a month. so i've had to rethink my original goal of just making 5k+ a month and saving 3k of it. i'm taking a normal job to cover minimum expenses and throw any dancing money i make into savings. it will both allow me to dance less and also save nearly everything i do make dancing (with a small percentage spent on costumes/makeup).

    perhaps you could try that? work a normal job part-time or even fulltime and save 80% of whatever you've been making dancing. if your basic rent/mortgage, utilities, food, etc are say 2500 a month, a job paying ~2k a month for 40 hours would still leave you time to dance 1-2 shifts a week reasonably. at your earnings level, you'd be able to save that 20k in a handful of months, easily, since you could probably earn like 5-7k a month and would only have to put a little bit of dancing money towards normal expenses and dancing expenses.

    anyway, it's a common option, that plenty of other dancers on this site have tried out successfully and worth considering.

    Presently I got three jobs. My stripping/dancing, locksmith job, and one as a receptionist.
    It is a real headache trying to handle all three jobs at once. Even doing this, I am no where near the rates quoted elsewhere in this thread.
    Consolation is that I am saving money (but have hardlly a life, trying doing this and take care of twin baby girls). But it can be done, and three more months of this and I can leave the adult entertainment industry behind. Thank goodness!

    That kinda money is good for this time of year almost anywhere. Especially in 4 hours. Most of us would love to be making that right now.
