How to tip a dancer and how much?

Keep in mind, these girls work on tips! They do not get paid hourly, so please remember to tip each dancer generously. Be Tip Friendly! ;-)

While watching on stage performances:
You should tip each dancer $1 or more per song while they’re on stage.
As a general rule, you should put the tips in their garter or leave them on stage. Some girls will take the tip and put it on the stage if they are busy.

While getting a dance:
Generally a good tip is 25-50% of the price you paid for the dance. So if you paid $20 for a dance, a good tip would be $5-10. An exceptional tip is anything over that amount and shows the dancer you really appreciate her.

Some believe you should tip before the dance starts, and some believe you should tip after the dance. It’s generally between the customer and the dancer to decide.

If you want to get a dance you must pay at the bar ahead of time for the dance.

Have your tips ready! You can make change at the bar.
