Are We the Only Ones Who Would Like to See Some Artistic Dancing?
m00tpoint
We will admit to being fairly new to the whole strip club thing. In addition, we are a couple (man and woman) who like to visit together. We expected to see more artistic dancing and some pride in performance. However, this seems to be mainly missing from the majority of clubs and dancers we have experienced. I understand Las Vegas has more "show quality." We think that many entertainers are missing the boat on a boatload of $ by not having a gimmick that sets them apart. IE, Sexy Secretary, Dark Lolita, etc. (In New Orleans we saw one gorgeous middle eastern looking woman who danced covered in scarves and removed them setting herself apart from the rest and she was quite sought after.) Are we the only ones who miss this?

There are exceptions. I was at a club earlier this year where a 10 got up on stage and made $250-300 in singles and fives in just two songs. I couldn't believe it. Lots of highrollers trying to one-up each other I guess.
And, even in lap dances, a pure and simple mechanical grinding is not very satisfactory to a lot of customers. In order to be a top earner, a dancer has to be able to sell that she likes what she is doing. A strippers identity can set her apart from the other dancers and make her memorable.
As the musical Gypsy said,sometimes, "You gotta get a gimmmick if ya wanna get ahead."

Appreciate your comment but not all customers expect or are even looking for intercourse at a strip club. Just not the case. If that was the case, they could call an escort service and spend less. SC are, and always will be, about illusion.
A sensual, erotic, exotic, sexual, whatever dance, to me, is preferable to the I'll show you my T&A anytime. Now that doesn't mean I don't care for the "here are my T&A dances". Each of us have our preferences. I am still looking for my holy grail, Asian, beautiful, intelligent, personality, sexual, etc. Oh and hates money. :)
While that statement may be true for a majority of strip club patrons, it is demonstrably *not* true for a significant number of others, myself included. Based on my observations at some local clubs, actual, not illusory, sex is in fact the primary goal of going to a strip club. That may not be true for all cities (and isn't even true for all clubs in Louisville), but I can't imagine that we're all that unique in that regard here.

If you want a rundown on the reasons why some of us believe that strip clubs are at *least* as attractive an option for sex as escorts, I suggest you post another discussion. It's been covered many times before, but I'm sure you'll get some responses even so.
Sure, especially if they have a way to fly me up there or they will fly this way. :)
I think you misread his OP. He said he wanted to see artistic dancing. I've never seen a feature entertainer that could dance her way out of a wet paper bag.
Good luck finding an artistic dancer in a SC. MAYBE if you find one over 35, she won't look at you like WTF? I'll second the notion of burlesque.
Now Ms. Wright is kind of hot, but....
let's just say I'm glad it's not 1968 anymore.
For reasons having nothing whatsoever to do with strip clubs, I agree completely. The *worst* year of my life, bar none.
Understand that couples are a minority in stripclub, and target audience (single or unacompanied patrons) are more focused on potential laps/VIPS than seeing an artistic performance.
That said, I don't mind seeing a standout from the usual boilerplate walking around a pole, or swaying in front of stage mirror away from patrons. But as 1 poster said, distinct/unique stage performances don't always translate into desired performance in the back.
Guess differences make the world interesting but seems like what is sexy to us is simply not the majority of what is in clubs. Glad we have found someone at our local club who fits the bill for us!
Then why the hell did you ask? If I wanna get yelled at for doing my best but not giving the "right" answer, I'll go back to parochial school.
Thank you for your comments. Perhaps you should seek some counsel since you feel "yelled at"simply because someone posted a clarification and comment of their own.
We do not participate on here to try and make others feel badly or "yelled at." If we wanted to do that we could certainly post on any number of threads that we feel are in poor taste, excessively derogatory to women and in general make men appear to be the generic male asshole stereotype. We simply refrain from posting on those threads because each poster has a right to ask and say (within the guidelines of the site) what they think and feel. The same goes for us.
This is Mrs. m00tpoint. I am sorry that you feel the comment was directed at you. The original comment (pasted below) was posted to no one in particular. No where did anyone say YOU missed the point in the original post. Yes, after you reacted negatively there was a post directed to you but not before.

As I suspected, most of the comments miss the entire point of the question. We were not talking about burlesque, nor were we looking for a return of the 60's. In fact, although we were both babies then, everything about them is awful to us!

Clearly, you were quite upset by the post given how many posts you made at different times. For that, I am truly sorry. Our goal is not to simply comment and give back to repay some of those who wrote reviews and articles from which we benefited.
Let's just end this and move on.
