    Default Finally, 10 dollar dances!!

    In Tucson, at Curves Cabaret a customer can recieve a floor lap dance for 7 dollars. Most guys pay tip and we can always up sell to CR or VIP. My perma-work-smile starts to fade when I have tried my hardest for four songs and I am handed 28 or 30 dollars.

    No seven, SEVEN NO MORE!!!

    As of Feb. 6th dances on the main floor at Curves will be TEN WHOLE DOLLARS!

    You may have sensed some sarcasm in that statement, but I am actually exstatic about this long awaited change.

    Bad news is VIP and CR will stay as is, so out of 15 in VIP we only keep 12, only two more than a floor dance.

    Just wanted to let you know that Tucson is moving up in the SC world. I hope the Clubs and Review section opens soon; I will add this info.

    Good for you!!!! Even though I haven't worked there in ages and likely never will again, I am GLAD to hear it. It's about damn time. $10 is cheap enough.

    As for VIP, you can always negotiate more money. Especially if the guy is from out of town "We can have alot more fun in VIP for only $20 a song" - "but other girls only charge $15" -- "well, cheap is...cheap. you get what you pay for." You might be surprised how often that kinda thing works. You have to know you're worth it though, you won't sell it to anyone else if you don't believe it yourself.

    I hope this doesn't backfire re total quantity of dances sold falling as cheap-ass customers go to different clubs after the price increase.

    ^^Curves has long been the cheapest club in town so I doubt that will happen. If anything I'm thinking it will only help the girls' earnings. It sure worked out that way in Phoenix when their sister club FINALLY raised the published price to the $10 nearly everyone in town was already charging

    Exactly Bridgette.
    This past week with the gem show we have been really crowded. I do not like waiting for a couch in the CR. Sometimes the wait is long. So I have been selling VIP for CR prices w/o the cover when I feel like I am losing money. Still have to pay out 3 on every dance, but a little more adds up. They are not great at counting dances when it is crowded

    B-I did end up working at the Vu in Seattle. So much happier with the hustle and bustle of Curves. Less time for the girls to sit around and bitch. I don't mind working hard for my money. It actually seems better that way.

    M- whenever a guy only gets one dance and only pays seven I think to myself, "I wish I would have known..." There are so many other customers payinf more for my time.

    So when will Candy Store get off their cheap asses and charge more than 5 bucks? I love that club, as it was my home club, but soooo cheap.

    ^^I think you might be well-served to offer VIP at CR prices all the time. Use the fact they don't have to pay the CR cover as a selling point, and say that YOUR dances will be "just as good" in VIP but without the extra cover charge.

    I worked at Curves and if I recall, they charged $20 cover for CR and CR dances are $20, right? So then, you have 2 ways to sell this:

    Offer a package deal of 5 dances for $100 in VIP versus 4 for $100 in CR - he gets more for same money and you get more for your time Be sure to make him aware of the advantage - he gets an extra song in VIP and the dances will be just as good

    Or offer single dances in VIP for $20 - "it's just as much fun except you don't have to pay that EXTRA $20 cover for the CR"

    You won't always get it but I'm thinking you'll get it enough to make it worth offering


    In situations like this I would never sell CR unless I got more than normal CR rate OR unless the guy just HAD to go to CR - because I can sell the "cheaper" option easier and more often, and make more money for myself.

    I like selling CR. Many customers pay the cover the CR at the door (so they don't have to wait in line) or they have already been in w/ another girl and have already paid the one-time cover. Even without that situation I sell cr first. If they don't even flinch at CR prices that is where we are going. I know my dances are better in there. I am physically more comfortable on the couches.
    For me VIP is a good upsell from the floor if we can get over there quick enough not to miss a song. They have buffer time in between each song at curves when the DJ talks
    I sell VIP in an emergency to CRers when it is full. Girls hate dancing in VIP because of the added fees, so it is usually vacant.

    CR=Champagne Room, right? Candy Store doesn't have a CR, just VIP

    I was just curious. I'm not dancing at this time.

    CS has always been behind. *groan* They're lucky they always have a crowd and the setup is nice, or no girl would stay there.

    Hey Shasta, are you at Curves? I was about to start dancing there last November, but something came up.

    Yes, come to curves! I started there eh 19 months ago. I moved to the NW after 4 months, but now I am back for the winter. There is always a crowd at Curves too. Come now for the rest of the loser gem show.

    Gem show sucks this year. I have a nasty feeling it'll ruin next year's attendance too.

    Curves and Raider's are owned by the same people... which means the boat must have raised their prices too.

    I'm like that too...air dances are $30-40 in Van (as you well know), but I go back east to a club with $10 dances because I way prefer to be busy all night. I'd rather have an easy sale and customer leaving feeling like he got a good deal than deal with octopus hands because customer wants his 'money's worth'.

    Glad to hear the good news!

    Feature costumes for sale!

    10 dollar dances are working out nicely. I have only heard one person bitch about it. But then he took me to CR. Men are so strange.
