I made a visit to Michelle’s...

I made a visit to Michelle’s Beach House on the New Year’s Day (Saturday – Jan 1st, 2005). Got into club right after 6:00PM and stayed until 9:00PM. Made another visit on Jan 8th (Saturday). Again, entered club right after 6:00PM and stayed until 10:00PM.

My experiences from both the visits were very similar in many respects. There were five dancers each time when I entered club, and were dancing the 2-song sets on the main stage. Gradually, more dancers arrived and the atmosphere brightened after 7:00PM and got into a full swing with party atmosphere by 8:00PM when they opened the lower level stage! By this time there were about 20 dancers. There were slightly more patrons during the New Year’s Day visit.

Some dancers responded well when tipped while they were on the stage and during their usual tip-walks. Some were not that friendlier. Some dancers were sitting by themselves and/or talking to each other.

I had drinks with couple of dancers, and enjoyed their company. Cocktail waitresses provided a great service and I tipped them well.
