What is it about Cuban strippers that make them eventually take over a club?

Have we ever gone into the why on that? I should ask more displaced dancers specifically this question. But it seems like they chase all the other ethnicities away in do time. You'll get 1, 2, 3 Cuban girls start at a club, form a clique and then a couple more and all of a sudden there goes the neighborhood.
Are these other girls getting bullied? Are they just feeling lonely because they aren't going to be let in the circle? It seems like all the black, white, even other latinas eventually just stop working there and you'll hear customers bemoan this in reviews. It's a real big thing in Texas and Florida strip clubs and it's hitting other cities too. I think up to us to investigate and get to the bottom of this phenomenon, I don't think the NYtimes or WSJ are going to anytime soon.

The few complaints I've heard from American dancers have all pretty-much been w.r.t. the Cubanas charging less.
If a club isn’t high end enough, it’s tougher for them to keep those kinds of dancers out. But introduce Cubans and the void has been filled.
And there is probably attitude stuff where Cubans are less likely to protest if managers want to be on some bs. Like in Denver when one club ended up with a huge Cuban influx post -Covid, managers started getting extra ballsy with things like firing dancers for dumb reasons but “for $50 I’ll let you work again”.
Also, Cubans have a way of finding the clubs where “wanna dance” works more easily and letting their network know, so they flock to those clubs.
In some areas where Cubans are already “established” like Texas, where there is a bunch of them but Americans too, I wouldn’t consider their presence a bad thing. That was basically the environment I started out dancing in anyways.
But in other areas, if Cubans have “taken over” it wasn’t really them directly who bullied Americans dancers out but a power tripping American club manager who realizes he prefers maintaining a roster that’s easier for him to deal with. Or easier in the short term anyways. 🤷🏻♀️
Do the math…
As far as I can tell, the Cuban chicks around here don't let managers bully them with bullshit fines and stuff. They know full well if they get fired at one club they can hit up another one and be working that same day.
The only other problem I see them having is that the more north you go the fewer Spanish speakers there are and the higher the expectation is that you speak English. I like Hispanic dancers. My two favorites now are a Puerto Rican girl and a Mexican girl. I would be open to having a Cuban regular but I haven't seen one yet that has stayed more than a month in my local strip clubs.
Nice is also right in that they tend to stick best in clubs where a wanna dance format works. I'll just add that that they also stick better in clubs that are willing to turn a blind eye to the higher mileage that they provide.
We had a wave of them roll through a handful of years ago here in J'ville. They stuck in a couple of the local higher mileage clubs, but many of them didn't last long in the other clubs.
LOL
Agree that many are attractive and spicy however after a lot of experience with them, including two nights this past week in Portland, Cuban girls, more so than any others ask for xyz and no matter what you offer or agree to, they almost always ask for more - another drink, buy me dinner, add another dance, bigger tip, etc.
I am a comfortable Spanish speaker. Not sure if that makes them more inclined to push for more or not. Either way, I am surprised at how consistently pushy they are and I chalk it up to a cultural thing.
All that to say I don’t avoid them but I also don’t seek them out.
It's created a dichotomy in my area where all the 9s and 10s work at the downtown clubs and all the enhanced cubanas work by the airport. Two different markets offering the same experience at drastically different prices, both of whom I'm happy to take advantage of.
Once the Cubans take over a club, ” the Cubans then have a tendency to forget almost all English when they go to the VIP…….
Watch Out Flight Club……… Your Next..
closed, I don't think Vivide existed prior to that). Also, the "wanna dance" phrase has now bee simply shortened to "dance" lol. I'll say this, though, the Cuban club is the one club in Atlanta where you don't see girls just sitting around young guys just so they can smoke their weed, so I'll credit them that.
But another analogy is the small car market. There don't seem to be small cars made in the US, that are of the same quality as those made in Japan. Should importation of Japanese small cars be banned, to protect US workers/companies? Is that fair to the people who want to buy a small car? Cuban strippers generally have looser boundaries AND they seem entirely comfortable with those looser boundaries. US strippers who have similarly loose boundaries tend to be self-defeating and therefore depressing to associate with. It's callous, but I already have enough to be depressed bout. The Cubans typically go to Nicaragua first, and then make their way north to the US border. They go through some hard shit. One told me she had to work as a waitress in the Yucatan for months to save money to continue north. (She had been a high school math teacher in Cuba.) You can't be self-defeating and take on a challenge like that, you just stay in Cuba.
It's not clear to me that Cubans push down dancer $. In Vegas, they get typical Strip-area rates at Sophia's, and typical downtown rates at Chicas Bonitas. In Houston at Chicas Locas, they get $20 per song which I think is similar to other clubs. Atlanta has a good number of Cuban strippers. But Atlanta has relatively many clubs, which results in many clubs with no quota limiting the number of black dancers. Because dark skin and the West African facial features of Black Americans are not the US beauty standard, black strippers end up commanding only discounted rates. Which makes it harder to jack up rates at clubs that do have black quotas.
I love this analogy. I'm a big fan of latina spinners and I, for one, welcome our new Cubana overlords.
Cuban women in general are known to give it up easy. I was at a hotel as a guest in Fort Lauderdale and they had a Cuban bartender. She was also doubling as the waitress since they served food and the regular waitress didnt show up.
She took my order and we chatted about where she was from and other stuff and had a few laughs. She asked for my number, and said she would call when she gets off work in a couple hours and we can go out later. I gave it to her not expecting her to call. I ended up hanging out in hotel room and it was around 10PM she calls and asks if I am at hotel and I said yes. She actually picked me up with her friend and we went to a bar an got back around 2AM. I thought she was just going to drop me off, but she was all over me in the car. She wanted to come up so I let her. She told her friend to come too and so she parked all 3 of us went up. She just wore a hat and put her hair up so no one really recognized her, plus we used the door that didnt go directly by the front desk. once we got in she didnt waste much time. our clothes were off and her friend was just on sofa watching TV but kept looking over. I asked her if she wanted to join and she told her friend "c'mon get your clothes off" but in Spanish. so we ended up having a threesome. I think she got off on the fact that it was the hotel she worked at.
I enjoyed licking both of their pussies and they double teamed me on the oral. Not going to lie I still beat off to the thought of it. I wish I would have taken video , I dont think they would have objected if I would have asked, but it was spontaneous so no time to think about it much. One wanted it in the ass, but I;m not much of an ass guy so I just stuck with the pussy.
With that said, not everyone likes the Cuban girls. In Jacksonville they have more or less taken over 1 club and are well represented in another. But they didn't really stick in many of the others when the big wave rolled through some years back.
