This came up in a different thread,so I did some checking. Dance prices seem to be rising after many,many years.
Quick phone survey for standard floor dance prices
Rick's cabaret in ft worth $25
Spearmint Rhino $25
Rick's DFW $20
Cab East $20
Silver city $30 but the girl on the phone was not sure.
Men's club $20
Bucks and Bucks wild $20
Will check others as I have time.
Looks like a few clubs are testing higher prices. It they see little effect on business, I would expect many other clubs will go to $25 or risk losing the dancers to clubs where they can change more. Not that simple,of course,but does look like the SC's could be getting more expensive soon. Rick's will soon own over 10 clubs a in DFW. If they support higher dance prices in all their clubs, look for the rest to follow suit.
Frankly, I am surprised it has not already happened. Been more that 30 years since dances went to $20.
No idea what's dances run in other areas of the country.
About the only thing we can do as patrons is let managers know we will have less to spend on booze if we have to pay more for dances. And tell them every time you go in.
