My money went much further here, despite lower prices nearby, because no dancer approached me for an hour, so busy were they, talking with their regulars.

Finally, one walked over to greet me, but she soon excused herself "for a few minutes" because she hadn't finished chatting with her regular yet.

After waiting more than a few minutes, I left. Too bad. Several of the dancers were attractive and genuinely talented on the pole. The private dance area, one large room with bench-lined walls, seemed private enough, since occupancy rarely exceeded one couple at any given moment.
