At the Platinum Plus in Allentown, dancers try to charge $40 nude. This doesn't seem like good value to me. There is no curtain for privacy, just the dividers. Anyone across from you can see what's happening. And bouncers are roaming the back now.
At other clubs in the Lehigh Valley, the girls will still try to charge ~$40 for dances, even when the price is written that it's $20 - $25.
Of the dancers that charge $40 per dance at Plat Plus and other clubs these are things I've heard: "I danced 12 hours today and made LESS than $100!" "I haven't
sold a dance all day!"
Of the dancers who charged $20 - $25 per dance these are the things I've heard: "I ONLY made $400 tonight! For 6 hours." "I haven't eaten yet, I've been giving dances
all day!" "I'll be able to make $2000 by the end of next week."
I think the clubs need to monitor heavily how much dancers are charging, to save the club and (some) dancers from their own ineptitude. They should be more customer-centric.
My questions: How much are dances where you are (on average)? Would you pay $40 for a nude dance?

My rule has always been that I refuse to pay more than $20 for a dance anywhere. If that means going without, so be it.
FYI: At the Platinum Plus clubs in Columbia SC some dancers try to charge $30-40 for a topless dance with a bouncer present in the semi private dance rooms. Those in the know are still able to get 2 for $30 but the mileage since the Greenville club got shit down, has gone way down. No longer worth the drive.
In my favorite Detroit clubs, lap dances are $25, but they are only $20 in other clubs.
My central air conditioning broke down 2 weeks ago on one of the few 90 degree days we've had all summer. It was only a small electrical problem and the tech fixed it in less than an hour. The labor charge was $85. I gladly paid it. When you start to compare his hourly rate with that of a stripper, the AC guy is quite a bargain.
I can't see there being any way I would ever pay $40 a song: maybe if I go to Penthouse NO and there's just someone I have to have - but she'd have to be perfect. Even then, something tells me I'd regain my sense and go to Passions where I can get two for that price.
Not only are dance prices too high in many areas; but song lengths are often getting shorter – I’ve timed songs in clubs charging $25/dance at an avg of 3 minutes w/ some songs only at 2.5 minutes – to me; a dance of $20+ should be about 5 minutes in length for it to be a good or at least fair value.
In my limited experience, in the $10 dance places I see a LOT of dances being given – in $20+ places noticeably less.
* $10 at Hip Hugger in Kokomo always
* $10 at Babes, Classy Chassy, and Harem House in Indy on Tuesday
* $10 at PoleKatz in Bridgeview (a Chicago suburb) on Tuesday
* $10 at Club 390 in Chicago Heights on weekday afternoons (at least during the summer)
* $10 at some bikini bars in Melrose Park and Stone Park
* $12 at Brad's Brass Flamingo in Indianapolis between noon and 2 daily
* $15 at Silver Bullet in Urbana and Jimmy's in Chicago Heights always
* $25 at Jimmy's (nude)
* $30 at Club O in Harvey and Club 390 (nude)
This doesn't include occasional two-for-one specials that various clubs offer, sometimes once an hour.
I rarely pay more than $20. Occasionally I will be talked into a $25 nude dance at Jimmy's or a $30 nude dance at Club O, but I usually come to my senses and stick to places in the $10-20 range. I think that paying $40+ for a lap dance is insane and that customers in such places should Just. Say. No. until prices come down to $20-25.
Personally I probably spend more than twice as much when dances cost $10 as when they cost $20. I wish more clubs followed the Hip Hugger pricing model: no or low cover, cheap beer, $10 high-mileage dances at all times, and lots of beautiful dancers who are eager to please.
It is a joke! Fortunately at most of the local bikini bars they do little or no private dances, because they are nothing.
But the club owners find themselves in a bind. The girls say they should be getting as much money as the get in San Francisco, but the club owners know that the clubs will be closed and that they will face felony charges, if they allow contact.
So for me locally, the no touching, no private dances, flirting and playing with them when on stage and talking with them, is the best option.
Otherwise for FS, AMPs.
In general for anything goes wild and wooly clubs, what I say is:
1. Front room friendliness, feeding her money as appropriate, and up to and including intense makeout session and FOV/FIV.
2. Then and only then you invite her to the back room to take your pants down and continue.
But never let her sell you dances.
In Deja Vu San Francisco Clip Joints I've compromised and turned the tables on them a bit. Instead of LDK, HJ, or BJ, I've DATYed them. It works well and does a good job of disarming them. It avoids any blue balls situation. It leaves the sexual tension still present between the girl and I.

The VIP room on the other hand is rather expensive.
