Anybody else ever wonder how many dancers/strippers there are in the USA? I was pondering this question the other day when as I realized there was no way to ever meet them all, no matter how hard I try...sigh.
If you take the total number of clubs in the US as counted on tuscl (n=2448) and multiple by the average number of dancers per club (for example 40-45, assuming 20 or so for each of two shifts), then the total number of dancers comes to about 100,000.
It's not an exact science I realize, does anyone else have a guess on the average number of dancers per club. It's probably a bell-shaped curve distribution with clubs like Dallas' Baby Dolls or Miami's Mons Venus on the high end with 100+ on their rosters and some very local clubs I've been in with less than 5.
And given the total US population at just over 300 million (half of which are women), if the 100K dancer number is correct, there's about a 0.05% chance that your little daughter is currently or might end up a stripper.


Interesting figures there. I know one club that probably have closer to as many as 200-300 different dancers in a pool that they pull from. But many just aren't available for working at the time, some just come to visit, etc.
