    oh yeah, 7 hours is a lot!

    I work 5 hour shifts (actually, I'm usually late and then I take long breaks, so it's more like 4 hours) and it's definitely enough.

    There is a flagship club that everyone thinks is the best money, but their shifts are 7 hours. First, I don't want to work 7 hours. Second, I should hope they are making almost double what I am, because they are working almost 2x the time.

    That's the one I'm talking about.

    My club is 8 hour shifts and they try to get us to work 4x per week. I came from working 2 physically demanding jobs (waitress and cook)--so this is a piece of cake for me.

    All the clubs in this area have six to 7 hr shifts where you have to be onstage for a half hour of each hour. Talk about exhausting!!!

    Usually I work five or six hour shifts, but sundays i work eight hours. It's my choice, and I just have a more leisurely pace to accomodate for the quieter atmosphere (and I make about half as much per hour, so essentially the same on a sunday as on a saturday night). I like it actually. I used to work nine hours on a farm everyday, and pacing myself comes naturally. But it's probably because I am currently in love with the sunday night bartender, and he gives me free shots.

    Whether I work 5, 6, 7, 8, or 10 hours, I always end up walking home with the same amount. So I work 5-6. After 6 hours, I am mentally exhausted and working 4 hours more wouldn't do much for me.

    Yep, poop on that. My club in Austin had an 8-hr "minimum" shift but you could always buy your way out for $20 which I almost always did after 4-6 hrs. I think 6 is about as many as I want to work. Though a 28-hr work week is still better than most straight jobs, it's a lot of hours to do what we do.

    We are required 4 days a week ( they tell you one weekend day too . )

    and 8 hours on your day on, if you come in on your day off it's a mandatory 6 hours.

    Since I drive over an hour both ways to and from work, I work a total of 10 imo.

    It is exhausting as hell. more so since no one shows up at our club till 10 ish as it is. Which means I spend most of my shift sitting on my ass so tired I could give a fuck less if anyone does show up at all.

    The club I work at requires 5 days a week and its 7 hours a night. We are only open those hours. Thats mostly all I have ever done. I love it though, it isnt so bad once you get used to it. It just takes time for your body to adjust.

    One place I work has 7 hour and 14 hour shifts. 7 days a week.One hour break only with the 14 hour shift. I can only stay there 2 weeks 3 tops. Afterwards I need a week vaca.
    Another place had 6,7,10,11 hour shifts depending on the day as they stayed open longer on the week end ; but they give you half hour on a half shift and an hour or two on the full. That was pretty easy unless they were short girls. But they did pay us extra for the extra work it gave us.

    I work 7-9 hour shifts, 5-6 nights a week. A booking for us is from club opening which is 5-5:30, until 1 or 2, depending on the club, Monday-Saturday. Plus we only have 4-6 girls a night, so we do 15 minute or 3 song sets, whichever is longer. I am on stage every 45 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes. Most of us are used to it, but in the one club where we are on stage every 45 minutes and the stage is a draw, it is hard on the knees.

    I do two weeks of working 5/6 nights a week of 8 - 9 hour shifts(on Sundays at my old club I did 11 hour shifts). Then I do one week with 3 nights at 7 -8 hours a night, those three nights are usually a fri/sat/sun then I take mon off and start again.

    I work 4 nights a week, 6 hour shifts. I go in at 8pm when its still pretty dead, and prefer it that way so i have time to "warm up" my hustle, knees, etc etc. Any more than six hours seems nuts. By then your $$$ per hour must go down. But this of course probably depends on the dancer/area/club/night/# of girls.

    I work from 7pm to 2am 5-7 days a week. But usually I don't get on the floor until close to 8 and I'm wrapping up around 1:30, and I take quite a few breaks during my shifts, so that cuts it down to about 5 hours where I'm really working. This is fine but my body knows when I've done too many long shifts in a row. Like this past time around I did 9 days straight and I fell asleep in the back and missed my turn on stage, so I'm breaking for a day and going back tomorrow. It works out well.

    I thought shifts for evening were normally from 4:30 till 2:30(up to 3:30) plus the extra time to get all the drunks out of the parking lot. Thats what I used to work.

    I work 5-6 hour shifts, but I'm on stage twice an hour. Makes me feel not so bad about my endurance level. :-)

    I find that I make as much in a five hour shift on a BUSY night as I make during an eight hour shift on a slow night. But on slow nights, I know that if I were there half the time, I'd be making half as much. There are only so many customers per hour, and I am hustling just about every one. To me it's easier to get dressed once for work and do a longer haul, pay for one taxi ride, etc. Though it usually means four times on stage, and by that last set, I am slow, exhausted, and don't bother with floor work. haha, by the end of the night I will dance half the time facing away from the custy and yawn discreetly to myself.
