Cheerleaders, Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast
$30 or $40 door fee on week nights, cant remember which, $50 on Fri and Sat nights. You keep everything you make.
$50 for 10mins, $80 for 20mins, $120 for 1/2hr. I think, sorry I cant remember.
You have to wear a costume and they are strict about it, it cant be a make shift one, it has to be a definate theme and recognisable and complete. They like you to have your butt covered too.
You get put on a dance roster/rota so you have to check what time youre expected to go on stage and be waiting at the stage during the other girl' last song. 15mins, full nude in the last song. When you come off stage, you get put into a silk robe to walk back to the change room in and get changed in there.
1/2 price drinks for the girls. You have to get dressed and smoke out the front of the club.
Its a quiet club. Split into two, one side has lots of TV's playing sports and two pool tables. The guys there generally dont want dances.
You dance in one of three square, open plan private rooms. Show the dance controller your cash so she can check how long you need to go for.
Theyre really strict about everything. The contract was long and involved and the dance manager sat and read it out to me which was torturous. Fines for all sorts of things. Medical certificates need to be shown if you cant go on stage and all that crap. I initially didnt want to work for them because of all of the bloody rules, but after working at Players I decided to change clubs. Altho Players is the busiest club here. I dont know about Toybox but they hand free/discounted entry cards to guys in the streets, so they promote the club which is nice.

Haha, watch out for the silk robe, lol - you are allowed to take your own if you wish. Sometimes the club one/s get a bit er off (-:
Re: Cheerleaders, Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast
They initiated the whole costume thing around the time I decided to retire from dancing within any south east queensland clubs (other than randomly here and there i won't go back to using them as my main income!) in mid February this year.
Yes, after working there for many many months I can attest that anyone that is within the "sports bar" part of the club are definitely there for the free look (as such). I always had my best money with guys who were on the tables in the "strip club" portion of the club.
Avoid the lounges. The people on them are generally not spenders (and usually a last resort to hustle).
Oh yes, let's not forget to mention that at no time during the stage set are you allowed to stop n hustle (or chat) to anyone for tips! You can only 'hustle' them thru your dancing (as such) if you work it smart... otherwise, you get on stage.. full nude in the last song. no open leg work whilst nude.. and off you go.
oh. yes. that robe supposedly is washed. supposedly.
You think Cheers is strict? Work at Hollywood. Same owners. Same "contract" except worse IMO. The owners generally see Hollywood and The Bedroom nightclub (they own that as well.. and Central the restaurant in the same street) as their "darlings" ... Cheerleaders was their attempt at trying to squeeze Players out.
(and stopping Spearmint Rhino from opening in that same street)
Re: Cheerleaders, Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast
^^^I never husstle for tips but pretty much always got tipped on stage at CL often by 2 or 3 different customers etc and that was never a problem.
If youre too good / too sexy at lap dancing even if your within the law / rules, the controller will be on your case too! I had lots of greif over that, it was ridiculous.
Re: Cheerleaders, Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast
so hard to make tips in this club!! if you make 700 at end of night, i m sure that s all from labdances. not like all the other club 500 dance+200 tips.
the thing i hated the most is the maga strip, 10 girls dance on stage get full nude in one song.....i hate it!!!......
Re: Cheerleaders, Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast
What?! I heard that they also instigated the Mega Strip as well as the whole costume thing after I "left"... man, am I ever so glad I am not there anymore! The Mega Strip at Hollywood pissed me off enough (was so so so boring!) ... and the stage at Cheerleaders is SO SMALL!
Yup. Thank you for keeping me in "retirement" from the SEQ strip club scene. ;) :)
Re: Cheerleaders, Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast
Is closed for the forseeable future.
From a friend who knows (believe me he knows!)....
"Commercial clubs make more money and guys [meaning the owners of Cheers] already have a strip joint."
Remember Cheers is owned by the same "guys" who own Hollywood Showgirls.
So now the GC only has Hollywood Showgirls, Players and Toy Box with Hollywood Showgirls "at the top".
