First half of November is normal Football season, whatever that means locally. Actual Thanksgiving week and weekend SUCKS. Half the girls take it off while bored dudes with time off will pop in.
First two weeks of December are prime Christmas shopping weeks. Dudes are spending their disposable income elsewhere while dancers are looking to buy gifts. Many PL consider it to be the sweet spot for closing extras or OTC with girls who are on the fence.
Christmas is on a Wednesday this week and honestly I would have low expectations for everything from the weekend before until after New Years. It can be a good time to set something up with a favorite who may only want to work one day but still make some money.
Then again Early January is considered slow, but guys and dancers both will be feeling cash strapped. However, girls who don't "have" to dance to pay the rent sometimes get lazy this time of year, and it's not really prime time for new dancers to start. So the selection may be decreased but the PLs often are too, and the girls that are there may be motivated to extract your cash.
The exception of course is popular winter tourist areas. I'm willing to bet Florida in winter has a different ecosystem than Detroit.
