feature dancers? what's the draw?

The only club that I've been to that has "feature dancers" is the Pink Pony. I think I've been there on 4 nights when they had one (out of the 15-20 times that I've been there). Shit, that's $200 just in covers. ;-)
Anyway, there wasn't a one of them that could dance her way out of a wet paper bag. They all looked like they watched the club dancers for 5 minutes and thought "I can do that".
What's really annoying is that the club dancers can't dance when the feature is on. The last time a feature was there, I was with a great dancer who *really* knew how to dance -- very sexy and seductive. I don't do VIPs at PP (my one VIP there sucked and it was the club's fault, so I'm not gonna try with another dancer), but I was ready to drop almost as much on LDs from this girl as if we had gone to VIP.
Then the feature came out, and everything ground to a halt. Fortunately, the dancer I was with was very fun just to hang with, so it wasn't a total loss. She was actually more interested in watching the feature than I was. And the feature couldn't dance worth shit. The sexiest out-of-the-ordinary thing she did was to mock-fellate a rolled-up poster of herself, that she eventually gave to someone. I think she might have been a porn star, which might explain her having freakin' posters of herself.
I kept talking down the boring-ass feature (trying to back-hand compliment the dancer I was with) and she walked the line between agreeing with the customer and making sure I wasn't a spy for club mgmt. ;-)
But I just don't get it. You have 25 dancers sitting on their asses doing nothing, not earning any tip-outs for the club. If they weren't already with someone when the feature came out, they can't be "cultivating" the next customer either. And the DJ is busting his ass trying to get the crowd revved up (if it wasn't for alcohol, he would've had no shot at all).
I realize that some club owners are business idiots (witness the Tiffany's/Clydesdale's/Diamond Club debacle here in Atlanta), but what is the idea behind feature dancers other than to suck money from the club?

Have fun at Follies and PP when you go. I like them both for their own reasons, which I've reviewed before on TUSCL.
a friend gave me a pass so i'm going to try to check it out.
i sure hope that the hedgehog won't do a feature dance.. lol
They do have Alexis Ford booked for a feature show but I will be out of town that weekend. I enjoyed one of her movies that had her and Alexis Texas in it, I think it was called Alexis Meets Alexis. Alexis Ford is a contract girl for Adam&Eve and there is a new Adam&Eve store right next to Cols Gold.
Now, in October, Jesse Jane is coming to a local club. She should be worth seeing, for her hotness if nothing else.
The only reason to see a feature, IMHO, is if she's famous for another reason and you want to meet her. That's it.
I know Ron, met him decades ago. He's actually quite pithy, and funny, when he's in the right mood. If he's not in the right mood, he can be annoying. So, I imagine that he'll be talking, perhaps to introduce Jenna.
If you get a chance to talk to him, talk to him about politicians-in the respect of two faced politicians (Elliott Spitzer) who try to shut down strip clubs, but they're banging an escort on the side-even though they're married. That'll get him going. He might even try to whip up the crowd onc you tell him about the local restrictions on strip clubs.
Meanwhile, Like minnow said, I will be in the semi private couch room getting some very private, high mileage dances. I wish my favorite club had them more often, for this reason.
Regarding PP, I had heard they enjoy an "erotic museum" business status in Atlanta (as do some other clubs, I think), which entitles them to feature nude entertainment and serve alcohol? I may have some details wrong, the the upshot as told to me is that they schedule the feature dancers in part to qualify for this special status. And while I agree with you that half the regular dancers in the club can dance circles around the featured dancer, I do enjoy it when my favorite dancer happens to be sitting in my lap when the feature comes on, and we just sit and cuddle while she performs.
I am going to try Follies soon and since Pink Pony is only 2 1/2 miles away, I might give it a shot too.
we do what we do, they do what they do.
I do remember going to one at getting 3 dances from one that was a real favorite porn star of mine. We had some fun with some mutual contact. She even offered OTC, but the price was too steep (started at $2.5k for a straight lay and steeply increased depending on the extras involved... anal, CIM/facial, etc).
I'll also say that's the only time an offer like that has happened. The other lappers I've gotten from feature dancers were average/mediocre to shitty and uninspired.
1. Separating dumbfucks who think they're gonna get something from their money.
2. Keeping said dumbfucks away from the rest of the girls, who are then glad of the attention.
@ dude.. ya i figure ron will be mc that night. having a conversation with him should be interesting if i get the chance.
* they CAN'T dance on the floor
* i don't do VIP at that club
I lucked out in having desired dancer with me when feature started that night. I'm too damn particular about what defines "desired". ;-)
around 15-17 years ago the formerly full nude crazyhorse in brookpark ohio was bringing in super big titty pornstars(?) weekly.
i was a doorman/bouncer in a regular club and the manager had a big titty fetish. he talked me and another bouncer to go see this chick that was something like 48hh one night.
i remember that hardly anyone payed much attention to her when she danced and afterwards.
i went to drain my vein in the mens room and i saw her after her stage show sitting alone in a corner looking extremely depressed. i actually felt very sorry for her.
She was billed as the worlds largest tits and I believe it. They were humongous. It was a freak show. The dancers and customers were hooting and holloring. Every one was on their feet except me.
Her name was Chelsea Charms. Her website is Chelseacharms.com. She will be back at the ATL Goldrush Showbar tonight and tomorrow night. Shows at 6PM and 11PM.
My philosophy is "more than a mouthful is a waste".

breast surgery 3 times and has special implants called polypropylene string breast implants.
the club had a stage with a runway down the middle of the room. seating was several seats deep on both sides of the runway and several seats deep off the end of the runway, like a theater. she came out dressed in a babydoll outfit with a lollipop {sucker) in her mouth and was really hot looking and beautiful. my friends and i were about 3 rows back from the end of the runway. she stripped and as she scanned the crowd she made eye contact with me and held the sucker out like she wanted to give it to me. expecting that she was going to throw it to me i held out my hand. she made a motion calling me over to get the sucker as she put it back in her mouth so i got up walked to the stage and put my hand out again. she held the sucker out then leaned over towards me as she stuck it back in her mouth and kissed it over to me. the club had a strict no hands touching rule but i reached around and grabbed her ass as she kissed the sucker to me.
the place exploded in woots and applause as i turned around to walk back to my seat. there were probably 60 or more guys in that room, most of them were much closer to the stage than i was but she picked me out of the crowd and for that moment i WAS THEE MAN!!!
one of the highpoints of my then young life, but the killer was that i know that i could have had her that night but i only had a couple dollars in my wallet and since i had ridden up with my friends i had no way to get back the 35 miles or so to my home if i stood behind with her and realizing that bothered me, even remembering it and writing about it bothers me on what i missed out on.
oh well.. it's still a nice but bittersweet memory.
i was not impressed by that guy.
Well, I dunno that your loaded question is accurate to begin with. The theory behind having a featured dancer (especially a porn star, new or older) is that they will draw in new/more customers for the strip club. One of the first things that usually happens on feature dancer night is that the club's cover charge skyrockets (who knows if the featured dancer ever gets an actual cut of it though). I've seen it double or triple before. While I'm generally not a fan of featured dancer night, it does give one *more* opportunity to get LDs (with maybe added mileage as well) from the club's regular dancers, if one chooses to take advantage of the huge distraction that featured dancers cause.
The only featured dancer that I've seen that was also worth the price of admission was Indiana Lee. She put on a great, energetic show with great audience participation.
