How much do pole dancers make an hour?

The number of hours a pole dancer works and the rate that they are paid per hour determines how much is made each day. Pole dancers typically work anywhere from 6 to 8 hours a day and the average rate for their services is $20 per hour. This means they make around $120 to $160 per day. This does not include tips.

The schedule for a pole dancer varies substantially based on where they work (geographically) and the type of venue they work at. For example, a pole dancer is a larger city working at an established venue will likely work at least 5 days a week if not 7 days each week.

If a pole dancer works 5 days per week, they have the potential to earn $600 to $800 per week. If they work 7 days per week, the income potential ranges from $840 to $1,120 per week.

The following are the most important aspects that play a role in determining a pole dancer's salary:

• Type of bar or club: Clubs that have larger crowds will pay a better salary to their employees than a smaller venue. The dancers are also more likely to receive more in tips with a larger crowd

• Working experience: Dancers with no experience can easily earn $50 per hour (including tips) while an experienced dancer (especially one with regular customers) can earn up to $1,500 per night.

• Pole dancing skills: Your ability to dance has a direct correlation to the amount of money you can make as a dancer. Complex tricks and spins earn more money.

• Promotional events: Earning potential for dancers is increased by participating in promotional events. You can increase your profile through activities such as contests and guest appearances

• Season: As odd as it may sound, wedding season is the hottest time of the year to be a pole dancer. Wedding season occurs during the summer and spring. A pole dancer's earnings can be substantially increased by performing for bachelor and bachelorette parties.
