    Angry $1 dances

    It never fails...Every Friday/Saturday my club gives $1 dances. We get out on the mainfloor and dance for a guy (TOPLESS mind you) for like 40 seconds and then "switch" to any other guy holding up a dollar.

    The first weekend that I worked, I performed this service. Now, I've been at my club almost 2 months, and I REFUSE to give these $1 dances. I feel as if you are just cheapening yourself by doing these dances.

    Last night, the owner caught me sitting in the back while the $1 dances were going on. He was like, "hurry on out there I got 50 guys out there with dollar bills in the air" BARF so then I just hit the floor and got a $20 dance in place of the dollar dance.

    Does anyone else have stupid "customer faves" such as dollar dances?

    you're right, it really sucks and cuts into your money, and very unfortunate. i've never had to do $1 dances, but do remember 2-for-1 specials. sucks because some guys would wait all night for them, making it hard to get dances, especially in the hours before. keep getting the $20 dances

    We don't have a mandatory $1 dance, but occasionally if I'm feeling generous, or have had a bad night I'll do them.

    I'll wiggle and giggle for a few seconds (10 secs max), and then go to another guy.

    Most guys around here give you at least $2, but some give $5 and some give only $1. The most I ever made doing this, is around $70-80 for one "walk-through" of the club.

    Say you only make around $30 a walk-through, and you do it 5 times in a night, that's $150 bucks you might not have had.

    I don't like it in a mandatory way, but it's a nice little trick up my sleeve if I need to add a little extra to my earnings that night.

    You can also use it as a break in to ask for a dance. Like "So you liked that huh? Well do you want to continue in the back for a whole song, where you get me one on one? It's only $20. C'mon let's go have more fun!"

    It works about half the time, so I can't complain too much, lol.

    Yea but see with us it's like dancing topless for 40-45 seconds. Then we "switch" to the next person. This lasts about 5minutes so in essence you're only doing dollar dances for 4-6 people.

    I never thought about doing a dollar dance for like 10 seconds then moving on to someone else.

    My old club used to run THREE-for-one nude dance specials all the time - like every half hour. Nobody would buy a regular dance because they all knew there was going to be another special soon. Right before I left, they started doing a "12-for-1" special three or four times a night and I flat-out refused to do those. They only played about 30 seconds of each song, but it's the principle of the thing. I'm not doing it.

    That's ridiculous. I could see dollar dances for 10 seconds or something but not for 45 seconds. You'd make like $3 or $4 per song. You might as well just get stage tipped and probably make more. I tried working in a bikini bar that had 2 for 1 specials. The regular dances were only $10 so basically it was like $5 dances. Fuck that. It was hard enough to sell a $10 dance because they couldn't even touch you and you couldn't take your top off and all they wanted to do was drink so I sure as hell wasn't going to bother with a fucking $5 dance. Guess that's why I only worked there one night. At least you don't have to deal with that shit every night.

    It used to piss me off when there were lots of people, spending plenty of money, and the club would run a 2-4-1. Then all of the spenders would be like...well, damn...I'll just wait for the next 2-4-1. Promos (within reason) can be good if the club is dead...but, dammit...it's stupid to do those during peak spending times!

    Well, reflections of things past.

    Yeah, when I was beginning, I had it in my mind that I had to satisfy every
    customer. So every evening I would run myself ragged running to and fro
    all over the damn club.

    Every time, somebody would hold up money clip, there I go, running, yes,yes
    yes, wanna dance, wanna dance.

    Well, it gets to the point, where I expect a little more for my efforts.
    I mean, here I am doing all this running around and and the club is getting richer
    and richer, sellimg more drinks, selling more ass, and taking a wear and tear
    out of my butt and I am getting poorer and poorer. Not even breaking even
    on some nights.

    So what do you do when dollar night comes, huh?
    What can you do? I would sell drinks, ask for tips, and soon I had arrived
    at a break even point. But had to hustle, hustle, hustle.
    But I at least took the load off my aching legs.

    And put my legs to better use, like around the customers neck.

    Yeah, no charge.

    I worked at a club once that did $1 dances on theme nights, like during the oil wrestling show or at 1/2 time on football night. We had to wear pasties at the club, except during private dances, so it was with the pasties and a g-string. I actually liked it. Walk up to a guy, giggle and wiggle a little for about 20 seconds (sometimes I stayed longer if he was giving up the $), let him know my name in case he wants a dance later, then kiss on the cheek and bounce. I rarely got only $1 from a guy and it helped me sell dances since it was like a preview for a LD. Plus, it gave me a chance to dance for the guys who wouldn't be interested otherwise and it either peaked their interest or at least got me some money.

    It usually got me an extra $60-80 and we had to do it anyway. Plus it helped to score a few real LD's and kept the job interesting. Honestly, I kinda liked it.

    We occassionally do $1 bikini dances, but it's only for three abbreviated songs. No nakedness and you just wiggle for them for a few seconds, take the buck and move on. I really don't mind it, you can make $30-$50 in the time it takes to do one $20 topless private dance.

    Guess what. I have dollar table dances all the live long shift. I don't do them. Instead, I sell the $20 private dances.

    Fucking dollars. Undercutting the price of a private dance.

    Never forget the 2-4-1's with the t-shirt you bought and give to the customer. In other words, you made no money.

    There are 2 hustles for $1 dances:

    1. Wanna $1 dance?
    2. After being turned down for a full price dance, offer a wiggle for a buck.

    This is the kind of sh*t we need to put into the club reviews. I've heard of two for one but mandatory$1 dances would make me want to burn the place down!

    Yes I have had to do the $1 dance thing. It can be good...getting a stale crowd to perk up and spend money, a chance for the customers to see you give a good dance, motivate you if by chance you were in a rut...or it can be a frustrating pain in the ass...like if you were in the middle of a VIP sales pitch, your regular just came in, or you were already set doing a long string of dances with a guy paying full price I guess as long as the DJ hypes it up enough and keeps the songs short and sweet, and does this no longer than 10 songs max. there's no reason to throw a fit or hide from doing them...that's not fair to the other entertainers.

    Well I'm not the only entertainer who does not do the $1 dances. There are at least 5 others that do as well. I don 't really socialize with any of the other dancers, so I really don't know their reasons for not doing the $1 dances.

    I did talk to one of our bouncers yesterday. She has been a bouncer/board marker at our club for a few years. She noticed that I don't do $1 dances and she said she didn't blame me one bit. She said she thought they were degrading, and that they devalue the entertainer. I just smiled and told her I'm glad at least one other person thought that way.

    Ugh I worked at a club that does dollar dances at their sit too. It was soo hard to dance...basically ass wiggle was what they got. Waste of complete time. Theyd cattle call you to the stage and announce you then out to the floor to whore yourself out for a buck. Waste of time.

    They are usually for a cheap crowd who wont spend or to clear out cheapos. I dont blame you for not wanting to do them. I swear clubs are running themselves in the ground with all these crap-tastical discounts.

    TM, girl you think thats bad....Listen also 1x per night (weekends only) we have what is called a "sample dance" Its a free dance!!!!!

    Basically we get to pick any guy we choose and give him a dance. It is up to our discretion how much we want to show. Some girls get topless, some get all the way nekkid. Shi, you know me..I don't take off anything until I know he's buying a dance.

    Sad thing is, alot of these girls that get topless/nude and dance for this guy don't even get a dance from him. Basically the idea of the "sample dance" is to give them a taste in hopes that since he's already seen you dancing just for him he'll buy a dance. WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! There are so many girls who get nude/topless and as soon as the "free" dance is over, the dude just walks back over to his table full of buddies.

    WTF...omg. Why not walk around nude and let guys oggle and pinch for free??!! OR better yet pay every customer to see you....sh*t not making money anyways....just give it all away!!!! <*major sarcasm*>

    **un-twists panties**

    Is there no other good clubs in your area? If you tell me this is the best one I might just shake you.

    Im sorry all I have to say is leave that club. That club has trained guys to think its ok for them to be cheap and wait for those dollar dances.

    Yup, this is the only club in my area. I have to drive (well catch a cab) to work and my job is 30min away! My club is no-contact, nude. I'd rather be here than at a club where I have to grind d#$% all night. There is a club about 45min away that is pretty nice/upscale. Once I get my car (hopefully b4 the summer) I can go up there.

    I never use the term "dollar dance" , instead I say "would you like a LITTLE dance, it's a sample of the bigger one." It usually works in getting more than 1$ plus I am setting up the sale for a BIG dance...just a thought I'd share. Plus, if you have to do the dance for a dollar ('cause the rest of the crowd is preconditioned to do so) then I'd go with the 10 second rule as stated by others.
