    Default how much do u pay to dance?

    The club where I work at currently didn't have any housefees...now that the old owner has passed away and his brother took over the club, we have to pay housefees...It's not much compared to clubs I worked at before, where you would have to pay $10 before 6, $20 before 7, $30 before 8, $40 before 9, $50 before 10, and $60 or more after 10 and additional $60 to leave early, besides that there was a minimum of $15 tipout for the DJ who would never play what you request...At this club it's free till 8:30 which is good, $40 after that and $50 after 10...I'm just wondering how much you guys pay to dance?

    well at the club i'm at right now it costs about $135 to be there. that includes $20 tip to dj, $10 to housemom, at least $6 to valet, then $75 to house and that's if you are on time. Plus since i'm freelancing it's an additional $20. $100 to leave early, and if you get to work after noon then the price goes up i think $20 an hour. Nite shift, it's $75 or $85 i think to be there. don't remember since i haven't worked an nite shift in months.

    currently the club i work at doesn't charge anything to walk in the door. at the end of the night they take 15% of our stage and $5 of every dance. i tip the dj $10 at the end of the night, and that's it.
    if we miss a shift without 24 hrs notice (or an emergency) it's $100, and if we're late for our shif it's $30.

    In Sacramento (City Limits) its $35 before 9p and $45 between 9-10p. Cant come in after 10p. $20 to the DJ, $5-10 to each bouncer (depending on the night theres 2-5) and $5 to the lot guy.

    In Los Angeles (The Body Shop) Stage fee is your first dance. Custy pays the $25 (or $40 for nude) to the house then they take $10 from every topless and $15 from every nude. $10 min to DJ and $5 to park. Most girls charge more for dances so it doesnt work out to paying much.

    In SF (Broadway Showgirls) - Pay a LOT - one night I paid out $600... Fees, fees, fees, fees...

    It really depends on the club and area you are in...

    I pay about 200 after everything lately..


    tip for champagne host, valet, dj, manager, house .....

    i tip anywhere from 40-100 to dj, 40-200 to host, 20 always to valet, 25 to manager always and last time i checked i think house was about 40... But that usually gets taken out of my champagne money.

    oh.. and ive paid out about 500-600 a couple of times in one night b/c of my tipping... But it is true that you get what you pay for. I also give up 3 dollars out of each dance and 75 of my champagne/40 of my room.

    I need to start tipping the waitresses and bar staff... other than that I just pay the fee.

    In the main Melbourne club I work within it depends on the night and when you start. Another Melbourne club I do odd appearances within has no house fee at all and pays me $50 to do a full nude show on stage.

    On the Gold Coast.. one club takes 45% and half of all your dance tips (tips received on stage are 100% yours), another club is all fees ranging from $30 to $100 depending on which night you are working regardless of when you start... most of the Brisbane clubs, from my second hand knowledge of them, are 40-60% to the club out of every private/lap dance!!

    Sun. - Thurs. 35 to the house, 10 to the DJ if you pay when you walk through the door... 45 to the house and 10 to the DJ if you pay later. Mandatory 5 drink sales or you pay 4/each at the end of the night.

    Fri. and Sat. 45 to the house, 10 to the DJ if you pay when you get there, 55 to the house and 10 to the DJ if you pay later. 8 drink minimum of 4/each unsold.

    Keep stage tips and no other money goes out. But lap dances are only 10 and you keep all of it, so it works out ok.

    Keep all stage tips. Lap dances, $10 to the club. Lap dances cost $25, and lasts 3 to 4 minutes.
    If you hustle drinks, two dollars to the club off each drink you sell.
    Drinks are $8 minimum.

    Sunday day $60
    Sunday night $70
    Any other day $70
    Any other night $80
    No tipping anymore at this one...why do I feel like Im saving money?

    Other place $75.....then split show cost of $5 per show instead of the whole show time going to the house.

    Mon and Tues $10
    Wed and Thurs $15
    Fri and Sat $20

    You also have to pay out $5 for every dance done on Fri or Sat up to ten dances. A $50 cap.

    A $10 cleaning fee to be paid asap, and whatever you want to tip anyone after that is up to you.

    Good grief, some of you are paying a lot of money!

    I pay $30-35 for stage (required) and everything after that is profit. No % to the club. DJ, housemom, and valet tips are voluntary and vary for each dancer. I do $5-10 to DJ, $3-5 to housemom, and $0 to valet (I park myself).

    At my part-time club, I pay $25-35 stage, $10 to the DJ and there is no housemom. Both of these clubs are the "high-enders" of SAT, so neither is a dive.

    I've heard that the lower-end clubs are where they charge exoberant fees, which is interesting. Even at The Men's Club in Dallas, the fees are fairly low.

    Anywhere from $10-$60 depending on what time you come in. No mandatory tips to anyone, though it's $20 to the manager if you want to leave before eight hours are up, so I almost always pay that. Usually $10 to the DJ, $20 to skip stage. Tip the valet $5 if he parks my car. Tip the bartender when I get a drink. Only tip the totally ineffectual bouncers if they specifically do something for me like handle a rowdy customer or point me to a spendy one.

    $25 house fee
    10% (on honor system) of earnings to staff tip pot

    No other tips/fees are required, but pretty much everyone tips the guy who walks you to your car and DJ a few bucks. All staff get a cut of the 10% mentioned above.

    On top of mandatory fees above, I choose to pay:
    $5 to bouncer who walks me to car
    $10-20 to DJ
    10% to bouncer/waitress of earnings from one table if he/she sent me there

    I've worked places, including TX, where mandatory fees were lower but income potential was also lower.

    I pay roughly 15-20% of my gross earnings which is perfectly acceptable to me.

    ^^^ Now that's just wrong.

    They shouldn't be getting 1/2 your money. You can only do this for so long; while DJ's, wait staff, etc.. can do their jobs well after you are gone.

    They should only be getting tops 10-15% total of what you make. I don't mean each either, I mean collectivly.(sp)

    So if you make a grand, they should all have to share $100. But if you only make $100, they they are stuck with $10.

    $40-$60 total per shift and not a penny more. I still think it's too much.
