Where should I go?

Hey,
So I’m thinking of traveling soon and, I narrowed it down to N. Carolina, Rhode Island or Miami. I’ve danced in Miami before, I have family to visit in N. Carolina, but I get requested a lot to come to Rhose Island.
I’ve been hearing how AA dancers have a hard time getting hired in Rhode Island. So where should I go next? I’m tired of Nyc

Less selfishly, I'll ask what you're looking for in a club (aside from a steady income). That may help others here give you advice or feedback.
Club Desire has AA dancers, but it's not AA heavy. I think that Bharlem81 could get hired there.
I also failed to mention Club Fantasies, which is also more diverse. My only hesitation in bringing that club up is that it was a ghost town all of last Friday night, which is crazy for a weekend night in a PVD club. Maybe she could bring some guys in with her, but she might be better off in a club with more foot traffic.
I occasionally hear that it is improving, but I never hear that it's actually good.
It's too bad. That place could be rolling in cash.

You could also reach out to "OldWhitGuy":

He's not active on these boards at all, but he's a high-volume customer here in Rhode Island. He knows what he's talking about and should give you good feedback.
In fact, the National Farm Machinery Show is coming to Louisville in February (around V Day). And then the Derby Festival in April.
And if you’re driving, it’s not even that far away.
As shadowcat mentioned, Miami and most of South FL is dominated by the Cuban dancers to where even white dancers seem to not be able to do well and there are few of them - also IMO most of the clubs in South FL, at least the better ones, are not very AA friendly when it comes to hiring - perhaps some of the West Palm Beach clubs may be more AA friendly but that is an hour north of Miami.
The only South FL mixed club that hires a good # of AAs is Porthole Pub in Pompano - it's a mixed dive but has decent foot-traffic and custies and decent spending custies although at night many of the younger guys don't seem to spend much.
I hit the Miami black clubs all the time - aside from dances just being $5, seems 80% of the custies are just spectators and don't buy a single dance.
I have not clubbed in RI or NC, but most areas I've been to outside South FL, particularly Miami, seems the custies spend more - not saying you would not get hired at a good mixed club in Miami or that you could not do well, just that it seems to me most out of town dancers don't do well in Miami (it's kinda a different animal).
Omg it doesn’t seem to promising for me as far as Florida goes. I used to dance at boobie trap. But I don’t want to spend the money if it’s that hard now for dancers to get hired. I guess Rhode Island it is. I’ll probably go out there late February or early March for a week.
Tootsies is starting to become more popular w/ AA clientele and it seems they are slightly hiring more AA dancers - by more I don't mean 10+ ebonies but more like 4 - 6 on a shift where in the past often times I would not see one on a Fr or Sat night w/ 100+ dancers on shift.
It’s by far the bluest of the two blue areas in an otherwise red state. Lexington is the other, and it’s more purple than blue, despite hosting the University of Kentucky.
