Haha you fell for the click bait. I'm wonder about dancers for whom it's a multi-hour round-trip from where they live to where they dance. I'm not sure all of them realize they need to allow for at least 20 cents per mile wear-and-tear cost on their vehicle, on top of the cost of gas. At a club I go to, it's a 4-hour round-trip to work for several of the dancers. A big conflict of interest as far as talking to them about this, the club wouldn't be worth going to without them.

last commentI remembered staying somewhere in Florida where lodging was $10/night. The downside was having to drive an hour and twenty minutes to get in Tampa each way, or about 2.5 hours round trip.
It was a pain of a commute. And on the way back after the club closed, I’d often have to pull over and take a nap. But on the plus side, my dog befriended a goat out there.
Have also gone between Austin and San Antonio about a zillion times for various reasons. At the time it was normal and I think the long drives were therapeutic. I know too many high strung individuals back home lol.

nicespice, Is "befriended" a euphemism here? I mean that sounds like the possible makings of a niche porn website with a decent revenue stream.

^ I didn’t consider that, but if you know how to get that set up and profitable, then let me know. 😁

A year or so ago I met a dancer at Follies that had just moved from Hawaii to Columbus GA and was driving the 120 miles to Follies everyday. A 2 drive in good traffic. I put 2 and 2 together and figured out that she had a BF or husband that got transferred to FT Benning GA at Columbus.

BTW she was also born on the island of Maui.

That situation is always a red flag for me. Usually they are traveling that far because they do not want to dance close to home. Overall I find them to be more uptight, less apt to socialize and overall not particularly fun to deal with.

I have driven from Seattle to Portland to dance 999,999 times because it costs $200 per night to dance in sea and $13 in Portland. There are plenty of reasons to travel dance, could be your home club is slow, your managers are awful, you have to be on a schedule, or the girls there bully you etc etc. Sometimes you just need to get away. Lots of reasons to travel dance.

@PinkSugarDoll - let's see - 999,999 trips to Portland and saving $187 per trip, that's $186,999,813 in house fee savings.
That sounds like it is worth the trip.

Between gas and car wear and tear I think it costs at least $200 to drive from Seattle to Portland and back. But I hear that a lot, that the Portland clubs have a good vibe for dancers. Money isn't everything.

Hmm I wouldn't drive a 4 hour round trip in a day every day. Like if the club is that good, why don't these girls get a cheap hotel/airbnb?
I can understand the 4 hour round trip once like to "test" out a club that isn't terribly far.

It doesn't make sense to go that far. Can't see it being worth it in the long run. And if yhe money there is so good they could afford to stay nearby

Depends how much they're banking. Knew a girl who drove an hour out each way, and would do double shifts. Said it was worth it and worked with her schedule.
Working 2 double shifts a week vs 4 single shifts cuts road time in half. Not to mention prep time, hair, makeup, hygiene etc made sense.
NAAAASTY

It doesn't make sense. An hour's drive isn't a big deal and she still has to shower cleanup put make up on etc throughout the night. Not just before her shift lulz

I used to have a CF that I met when she was dancing in Louisville and eventually found out she only lived 10 minutes from me on the northeast side of Cincinnati. That meant she was driving about 120 miles each way 5 times a week because she said she made more each night working in Louisville than she would in a week at the clubs around here. The only reason she didn't move was that she and her ex had joint custody of their son and she couldn't move out of the area without permission.
It did make the OTC arrangement MUCH easier once I found out where she lived because it gave her a way to make money close to home on her days off.

In the olden days, the SWA terminal at LAX was stripper central for Fri/Sun flights To/From Vegas.
