I stopped in at Desire on a recent Friday night. It was surprisingly boring, due to largely bad stage dancing. Lots of dancers were lazy with many not even taking their tops off, the Cuban dancers were especially poor. In the dancer’s defense, the customers showed little interest in the stage. The chicken or the egg cliché definitely applies here. But I think the management should be demanding better performance on the stage, which would increase tipping and the energy in the club. Desire does seem to be built around socializing at the two big bars, with few seats with good sight lines to the stage. There was a large selection of dancers, with most being around for many years. Lots of these dancers were mediocre, and I would like to see more fresh meat. Despite the poor stage dancing, the private rooms are great, and I had a great session with long time pro Nyla. Perhaps in the future I’ll just arrange meetings for VIP and then depart.
