3-song stage sets, why?

Euphoria
Was at a club last night at shift change at 9 p.m. The night shift started with a parade of about 12-15 dancers. Then they played three-song stage sets for each dancer on stage to a crowd of 4-5 tippers. It really was a slow, lackluster way to start the shift. I'm not usually there at nights, so I was hoping to scope out my preferred targets by their stage efforts. I've seen three-song sets used when there's a small number of dancers on duty, but it seemed like an ample cast to draw from last night. Were my expectations unreasonable?

The 1st song is with clothes, to warm the dancer up, to attract potential customers interest and to provide eye candy for the crowd.
The 2nd song, usually clothed, but sometimes topless is to begin receiving tips and invitations to dance at the table.
The 3rd song, almost always topless (or nude, depending on the club), is to seal the deal and to show all the guys what the club, and the girl, has to offer.
Plus 9 minutes, more or less, gives customers time to consider that particular dancer.
First song - dancer fully clothed
Second song - bra off
Third song - panties off
Fourth song - gaping vagina close-ups for the loonie/toonie toss
If the dancer has a live crowd of drunken guys willing to keep tossing coins on stage the DJ will extend the 'gaping vagina' part of the dancer's stage set by however many songs are necessary for the dancer to extract the maximum number of coins from the willing drunks.
Private dances are so expensive and so lame in Alberta clubs that dancers make the majority of their incomes from this loonie/toonie toss. Dancers are also paid a decent stipend from the club for these rather long stage shows. A dancer's first stage show of the day could be scheduled at noon and her final show could be scheduled at 1:00AM with probably three other stage shows scheduled for her every three hours or so between her first and last show - a long day for the girls.
As a patron, I don’t care either way (1 or 2 or 3).
Tootsie’s in Miami has a pretty good system. A dancer will do one song on stage, and then spend two songs dancing around the large semi-circular stage – i.e. the dancers will dance for two songs in the space b/w the stage and the tip-rail and the gropers have easy access to the dancers for their tipping and some groping (the dancers are at tip-rail level for close and personal intros). On busy nights, there will be two dancers on stage and two or more dancers in the tip-rail area; all at the same time.
