sinclair's Review

I went to Night Moves on a Friday night at 21:30. The club is on the south side of Bloomington. The small parking lot in the front of the club was completely full, so I had to park down the hill behind the building. There was a $7 cover charge at the door. I was actually able to avoid paying it because I happened to walk in when the doorman was away from his post and blended into the crowd. Before 20:00, there is no cover charge.

The main stage is an island in the middle of the floorplan with two spinning pole positions, one on the left and one on the right. The bar is along the back wall. There is a pool table in an alcove on the front right. The lap dance room, VIP area, and DJ booth are all on the right wall. Sincweisers were $5 per bottle. I bought a few cocktails for dancers, which were supposedly double shots. They were $14 apiece. The ATM has a $200 maximum withdrawal per transaction and charges a $5 fee.

I counted over twenty dancers at 23:00. There was plenty of variety for everyone's tastes. All body types and ethnicities were represented, except for maybe Asians. Despite Indiana University being located only a few miles to the north, I only came across one IU student that was moonlighting as a stripper. However, there were a lot of dancers in their early or mid twenties. About half of the dancers showed residual signs of accouchement. Most dancers seem to live within an hour or two of Bloomington. I have seen some of the dancers here also working at PT’s Showclub in Indianapolis. There was only one dancer performing on stage when I arrived, but later on when things picked up, there were two dancers performing on stage simultaneously. Stage tips were rewarded with boobie bashing to your head. A few bucks per song was sufficient to get a dancer to seek you out once she got off stage. The crowd was not too loose with their wallets, so just tipping would get a dancer to approach you once she got off stage. There was some thug factor after midnight, but it was mild compared to what you get in larger cities.
