  •  Will the entertainer be on time?

There are two factors that determine if the dancer will be time, time of the show and time window.
If your party is earlier in the day around 4pm-6pm or very late around 11pm-12am then most likely the dancer will be on time. Most of the requests for entertainers are between 7pm-10pm.
The second factor is time window. Time window is the earliest and the latest time the entertainer would be able to come. If for instance, the entertainer has been given a 4 hour time window, for instance between 7pm-11pm, then he/she can work their schedule better with other shows and be on time.

Back to the top

  • Should I pay the dancer before or after the party?

Entertainers are always paid before they start their show. Unfortunately, we do not guarantee that the show will go 100% as expected. For instance, in some female shows, the entertainers are not willing to, therefore did not, do certain customer expectations.  In some male shows, an older lady might not be willing to watch the show and would want the stripper out. In any of those cases, and many more instances, it is not the dancer’s fault that the show did not go as expected but they are required to be paid since they are at the party.

  • Do I have to reimburse the dancer for parking?

If you are arranging to have your party in a hotel or in an area where parking is paid, you should reimburse the entertainer for any parking costs.

  • What costumes do the dancers have?

Male entertainers have the following outfits: Policeman, Army, Cowboy, Fireman, Construction Worker, GQ, Businessman, and Pizza Delivery Guy.

Female entertainers have the following outfits: Lingerie, Playboy Bunny, School Girl, Police Woman, and Cowgirl.
Nevertheless, if the customer wants to provide the costume, the entertainers would be happy to wear it.

Back to the top

  • Do I need to supply anything, such as music, or do anything before the party?

Outfit, music, and props are supplied by the entertainer. Alcohol and whipped cream are not supplied by the dancer and are suggested to be made available. Moreover, there needs to be at least one armless chair at the party, and any tables or big obstacles should be removed from the center of the room where the dancer would perform. Dogs, cats, or any pets should be locked away from the room where the dancer will perform. Children, under the age of 18, should also be in a separate area from where the dancer will perform.

  • What determines the exact time the dancers would stay? 

The length of time each entertainer stays is approximate, nevertheless 30 minutes is the minimum time they are required to stay. The factors that influence the exact time are location of the party, time window, crowd size, tips, and participation.
-The location of the party is very important because in many cases the party is too far or their GPS does not recognize the address.  If the party is too far and they have additional shows afterwards then they will only be able to stay for the required time. If the location is not recognized by their GPS then the entertainer is only relying on your personal directions and could take them a long time to find the address.
-Time window is the earliest and the latest time the entertainer would be able to come. If for instance, the entertainer has been given a time window of 7pm-11pm then he/she can work their schedule better with other shows.
-Crowd size is another factor that determines the exact time of the show. If the crowd is too small, 5 people for instance, then the entertainer would not be able to interact with many people. Big crowds require longer shows since everyone wants a “piece” of the hot dancer.
-One of the most important things that will help for the dancer to stay longer is the amount of tips. The more money are flying around the room, the more the entertainer would like to stay. For this reason, please do not forget some “fun” money!
-The last thing that will determine how much longer the dancer will stay is participation. Participation is important because everyone should be part of the show and no one, except maybe few, should just sit and watch.  It would be much better to show that you are enjoying the entertainer’s company.
Please be advised that the moment the dancer arrives at the party, is the moment his/her time starts, even if they have not started performing.

  • Can the entertainer be a surprise?

  • Should I tip the stripper?

It is recommended that each and every person at the show participates and throws some “fun” money around.  One of the most important things that will make the dancer to stay longer is the amount of tips. The more money are flying around the room, the more the entertainer would like to stay. You can tip the stripper either during the show or at the end as a lump sum.
