description

In table dancing, dancers usually first offer a stage show for the general public, in the course of which they gradually approach the audience and finally focus their performance on a small group of paying guests or a single guest. The individual guests while the option of using the plugging of so-called have tips ( gratuities used) in the form of banknotes or in each club to make "House of dollars" their erotic preferences clearly and a semi-personal dance for themselves and their eventual companion to to order. Apart from the touch that is necessary to attach the tips to the dancer's clothes, for example, physical contact on the part of the guests is usually not permitted. The main earnings of the dancers come from a percentage share in the drinks sales, which is why the prices for various drinks are usually above average. The primary goal of the dancers is therefore to encourage guests to consume. In some cases, the practices are criticized as dubious and often move in legal gray areas. Particular caution is required in the eastern EU countries. To give the guests variety, it is common for the dancers to change often. They travel from one city to another and usually do not work in a club for more than 14 days. Dancers who work in a club for a long time are rare. In order to enable this permanent change to run smoothly, the club operators usually maintain their own flats or apartments, which they make available to the dancers for the duration of their employment.
