    Dancing for five years and still can't get the hang of it

    Hey everyone my name is angel. I work in a private dancing type of club. It is a sex store that has private dancing in the back. the customers pay a house fee which i will explain further, and then the dancers make their own tips. we go completely nude. I am not bragging but I think I look okay. I am 5'3 128 pds. auburn hair, glasses, semi-tan skin, and 34c's natural. the way it is set up is this. 15mins-20 to the house dancers mostly charge 45 tip out is 10
    25 mins-25 to the house dancers mostly charge 80 tip out is 15 and 30mins-30 to the house and dancers start out at 100 tip out is 20. I have tried making my prices lower than the other girls, but that seems to short me. I have also tried dressing differently. I make more money in clothes that cover me. My question is how can I get more money out of these dances without becoming a prostitute. not that I am knocking that. I beleive you do what you gotta do. Also no one checks on us, and the guys can get comfortable with themselves. I would really appreciate some help on this matter. How can I make more money in my dances. because as you have already figured out the most we make on a dance is 80 for 30 minutes of work. can anyone give me some tips. also feel free to email me. I look forward to getting to know you all.

    I don't get it. Is it more like "modeling" or are you actually dancing for 15-30 minutes?

    Sounds like a lingerie / modelling studio / jack shack. You do perform for the 15-30 minutes, but the "dance" can be anything from a sexy strip dance to fetish acts to sex, depending on the place, customer and girl.

    I worked at a place like that for a while, and the way most girls made more money was either by offering more "services", developing regulars and/or learning to upsell. It was common to say things like "the better the tip the hotter the show" when giving guys the opening schpiel.

    To maximize your money you have to do a combination of things, it's not just one thing. If you make more money when you're more covered, then dress like that all the time. Get several sexy outfits that cover you a little more and make that part of your schtick. Wear the glasses if you don't already. Try putting you hair up. Try different makeup. Figure out some type of performance routine that sets you apart and run with it.

    I developed a decent clientele by being the fetish girl / sexpot without actually putting out. I became known among the girls as one who enjoyed the 2girl shows, so anytime a guy came asking for that, other girls automatically recommended me because they didn't want to do it. Guys who had desires that were a bit different than the standard vanilla stuff learned to go to me because I was a little kinky and more adventurous than other girls.

    But at the end of the day, it's hard to get guys to pay much more than standard prices when you aren't offering additional services. You increase your income by increasing your clientele and getting the ones who like you to tip or at least come to see you regularly.

    You could also flat out charge more and see if it works. Tell guys up front that you need $x for your shows and you will make it the sexiest show ever blah blah blah...

    But, $80 for 30 minutes isn't bad. That's $160/hr and a whole lot more than most people make in that time. If you can keep yourself busy all or most of a shift you'll be doing well.

    Aside from the great advice Bridgette already gave, I'd suggest searching the threads here for lap dance tips. Learn how to really seduce a man rather than just giving him the most grind for his money. There is always time for a little grinding once he gets a FEW dances from you.
    And if you are working in one of the modeling studios, you might want to try a regular strip club for a while and see if you do any better there. It might help to pick up a few extra shifts per week in different clubs just to experiment.
    And if that fails, attend a Dancer Wealth seminar, or get the home study course. It helped me and I am just starting to implement the techniques.

    My thought is that you are undervaluing yourself. If you charge less than everyone else, the customer's are going to think that you are going to do a worse show than everyone else.

    Think about it for a minute. If you go to the store to buy a designer hand bag, and there are two stores that sell those designer handbags. One store is offering the handbag at half the cost of the other store. The cheap hadbag looks exactly the same as the expensive one, and the clerk assures you that it is genuine and that they are low priced because the owner got a good deal from the manufacturer. You visit the second store and notice the handbag is twice the price, but it is in alignment with what you were expecting to pay for it. Wouldn't you be suspicious that maybe the "too cheap" bag was not offering the same value as the "right priced" bag?

    If something is priced too cheap, customers get suspictious. Especially if it is an item that is usually considered a luxury item. Don't undervalue your service, and the customer will be just as happy, and you will stay busier, to boot.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!
