Best dances in Washington, even though they are $40.

Reviews below are spot on. I visited early on a Saturday afternoon and the place was virtually dead. There was technically not a cover charge, but you are expected to buy a $10 drink. They give you the receipt and that (apparently) allows you to get at least one more drink without having to shell out another ten bucks. There was one other customer present when I arrived, along with a bartender / manager and 5 girls. One girl was dancing for the other customer, one was sitting at the bar, and the other three were playing with their cell phones. There is no DJ - girls pick songs from a digital jukebox - and perhaps because there were only two customers, there was no stage show. There is a stage, but girls didn't actually dance on the stage. No one stepped foot on the stage for the 2 hours that I was there. None of that matters, though. Come for the dances and not the atmosphere.

Although the private dance room isn't really all that private, if there are only a handful of patrons in the club you won't feel crowded in the back. When I got dances my dancer and I were the only folks in the room. Like I said, the dances were pricey but worth it. And not necessarily because there was anything extra going on, either.
