Dancer's perspective review. As a dancer...

Dancer's perspective review. As a dancer of the rival (but not so rival) club down the street from here, I decided to finally check this place out. My friend and I were out and remembered some of the other girls from work had gone to Legends to see what it was about. They were given a tour and free drinks from the manager. We figure "fuck it, let's try to get free drinks." I don't plan to leave Bouzouki, but I really wanted a free drink lol. Our visit was on a Sunday, Father's Day at approx. 9pm. This was the same day as the second shooting in Greektown, which occurred around midnight.

I'm not going to go into detail about the exterior of the place too much. Some of the parking spaces across the street are rented by Legends for valet to use. It appeared incredibly empty. Meh. We walked into the giant doors and the door girl photocopied our licenses and cabaret licenses after we inquired about working. She asked us if we wanted to work on the spot because they were shot on girls. We were totally unprepared to work. We only wanted to see the place and get info about working. The door girl had us sit at a booth and told us to wait for the manager to come chat with us.

The place is aesthetically pleasing indeed. I won't give many details because I am sure they've already been described previously. However, from a dancer's perspective, what were they thinking putting the giant tv behind the stage?! It takes away from viewing the girls on the stage. It's a great idea, but is a huge distraction from the beautiful, lustful tatas bouncing around before you. Also, as an entertainer who performs pole tricks, there is just no way I'd be able to perform on that stage. It is shaped like a dumbbell with two 50mm stainless steel spinning poles on each side. The stair railing is in the way of one of the poles though, which would make it almost impossible to perform tricks on the pole.

A bouncer comes over with waters (damn it, no drink) and invites us for a tour. We are lead upstairs to the first vip area. He tells us he needs to know if we are extra or clean girls so he knows which kind of tour to give us (what the fuck?!!?!?). We are clean. He told us dances are $25 per every 3 minutes and we must check in and out when we go up. Makes sense. Then, we are to have our customer tip the bouncers - not us. His words were "I want the clean girls to take home all the money they can, so we never expect a tip from them. But we need their customers to tip." We took it as an implication that we wouldn't make any money really. He said the first few booths are reserved for the clean girls, while the extra girls are in the back booths. Also, money is not collected by song. It is per every 3 minutes. So the time begins as soon as you sit down. You have no idea how long you are back there for until you go to check out with the bouncer.

We were shown to the second floor. The smoking floor (eww). This was barely a floor per se and merely a walk through to the third level. The third level had a long stage with two static poles on it. It is only open for private parties or something. It was fairly spacious. Back to the second floor - where the 2nd set of vip booths are. The clean girls are more prone to use these ones from my understanding as they have a small window with curtains in them. The bouncer said the curtains are to be partially opened if the dancer is in trouble or needs help. When we walked by the 2nd level bar, I saw a few girls sitting there on their phones.
