FAQs
So you have questions? You’ll probably get the answer here!
How often do I have to work?
The beauty of working for an agency is you can choose how often to work, work as
often, or as little, as you wish! It’s completely flexible, unlike working for a club.
What Will I Do?
Pole Dancing/Stage Rotation
Most clubs will require their adult entertainers to perform on stage. Some clubs have
poles, and some do not. It's a myth that you need to be a talented pole dancer to become
an exotic dancer. Traditionally, performers are not paid to work on the stage, however;
they are able to showcase their looks and make a few tips while performing. Most,
though not all, clubs will require a degree of nudity on the stage.
Table Dances
There is a lot of mis-information out there about the differences between table dances
and lap dances. At strip clubs, table dances are usually peformed at a cost around £20.
The song usually lasts about 3 - 4 minutes and is performed right there at the customers
table. Some clubs charge customers more or less if you dance topless or fully nude. Table
dances are on the table - it's normally specially constructed to allow you to dance in the
middle while the drinks are safe around you. Lap dances are in front of a guy - but
strictly no touching.
Private Dances
Private Dances are nearly always performed by the performer in a sectioned off, booth-
like area in a club. We only work with clubs and strip bars which are clean and safe, but
make sure you know how to set some boundaries. If you find yourself giving a private
dance and the customer becomes touchy, end the dance and walk away. There is no need
to put yourself through the mental and physical stress of some jerk who doesn't
understand the word no! The good news is that there is usually a bouncer or floor host
within voice range.
VIP Rooms
If the club has a VIP room, then there is a good chance you can make a bunch of cash in a
very fast amount of time. In the VIP room, you are expected to hang out with the guest
(usually seated with them) for an hour.
At all of our clubs, there is a no touching policy. As far as we're concerned, the first rule
in stripping is that exotic dancers are performers only! They provide fantasy and
entertainment - not sex acts!
Are there any fees?
Strip Clubs are NOTORIOUS for over charging exotic dancers, and snatching their
earnings. We carefully vet all clubs and bars we work with, we won't work with anyone
who charges performers outlandish amounts.
House fee: is the common term nearly every strip club designates for what girls pay on a
nightly basis. Most clubs require the dancer pays a fee to the house for each shift
worked. You can expect to pay as little as £15 if you work a weekday shift to £35 for
weekend shifts. You should take this with you to the club - you may have to pay it before
you work at some clubs.
Commission: Another expected fee is based upon both the type of dances and the
amount of dances the performer performs. For example, if you peformed 15 private
dances at £20 each, the club may charge you £5 for each dance. Additionally, you can
expect to pay money to the club for table dances, and VIP rooms. It's not unusual for
strip clubs to take a percentage of you whatever you earn; it is best to not think of how
much the customer is paying, or the face value of the voucher, but instead think of the
amount YOU earn from the voucher. Don't add up 20 vouchers at £20 and think about
the fee, add up 20 at £15. We've seen plenty of exotic dancers go home from with just a
few quid in their pockets because the club charged them for every little thing; we will
never send you to such places.
Fines: In our mind's eye, exotic dancers are raked over the coals and royally screwed by
some of the unethical, and truly unfair fines by strip club management. However,
business is business and you should see your work as such. You should expect to be fined
for missing a shift and for being late to work. If there's 10 girls on a shift, and 5 don't
bother turning up and 5 are late then what would that look like from a customer's point
of view? The fact that there are girls who are unreliable means all get punished.
Do I Have to Get Naked?
At some point yes. But - on stage this is rare, stage dances are normally topless at most.
Some clubs have license conditions that means the dancer has to wear a specific g-string
whilst in private dances - others it’s all off; but work this well into your routein and you
can minimise times you are undressed!
Feeling Shy?
It’s natural to feel nervous at first, but we’re here to support you. Once you join, you’ll
gain access to our support, which offers resources and a supportive community.
How and When Will I Get Paid?
You’ll get paid in cash, on the night. You are self employed, so you need to take steps to
do your own tax declarations.
How Much Can I Earn?
Dancers typically earn from £100 upwards per shift, depending on effort and
the engagement you create.
Do I Need to Look Like a Model?
Not neccessarily! Dancing is inclusive of all appearances. Your personality and ability to
connect with your audience are what truly matter.
What do I wear?
You will need to take a short and a full length dress, also a matching bra / panties set, and
a pair of heels. You don’t need expensive things to start, there are plenty of dancers
working in Primark undies and dresses!
