- review comment8 months agoFirst club visit in SacdeepthinkerIllinoisI know this is late, but the dancers mentioning 80% were talking about AB5. Idk about every club in Sac area but LOTS of clubs in CA made dancers employees w/ around a $200 dance sales quota instead of a stage fee now (lowest I've heard was $180 - highest was around $300; essentially the clubs are making them pay their own wages and taxes) and then after that they get to keep a commission of 40% of dance sales up to $400 and 60% of anything above that (as long as they stuck with their schedule perfectly, of course, less if not) - HOWEVER they can only get 80% of those commissions from dance sales on a payroll check with taxes taken out. Dancers who aren't comfortable with requesting large tips in addition to regular dance prices end up taking home very little cash as a result and many complain online of checks being shorted on commissions. All Vu owned clubs in CA are doing this now from what I've heard btw. These changes started happening within the last five-ish years. It makes total sense to me why dancers would prefer working in a club where they're not under such extreme pressure (if they don't make quota on a slow night they get sent home early and they usually get fired if it happens more than a couple times) and get to keep more of their earnings *shrugs*
