Being a Feature dancer- Advice and help
I was wondering if anyone out there knows anything about being a feature besides fancy costumes and private dressing rooms? I am considering being a feature (or mini feature) because I already travel all over the US to dance as a house dancer or as many of the clubs call it- being a road girl.
I don't have implants but I am not opposed to the idea, so long as I can look some what natural in size (not too big but maybe a double d). I already have some modeling credits as well a some radio credits, and I know that I would need more. I guess what I am really asking is what do I need to know about agents, contracts, and what a feature makes $$ compared to a house dancer. If you have any information on this subject or know where I can find information about it, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks Rochelle

The club owners just aren't paying features what they used to. On top of that, you need major porn credits to get much attention. Good luck!

Honey, the reason that clubowners pay to bring in a feature is the hope that advertising them being at the club will bring in new customers. The hope is then that the new customer will like the club and return (often).
The feature then needs to have a recognizable name and be sought out. If you don't have a name, you have to have something unique about you or your show that will draw in customers, something they can advertise. Huge implants, fire tricks, two girls, etc.
To the owner, it has to be worth it to pay $2000+ to bring you in and another $2000+ to advertise. Think, can you bring in enough people to cover his costs? Now, can you bring in double that? That will make it worth his time to hire you.
Not impossible, but hard. If you believe you can do it and have a plan, do it. Just make sure you've planned it out well.

The bigger the name the more work and fee you will get. Basically you do need something to attract customers' attention to bring them to the club as previous posts have been. Maybe the customers have seen you in a movie or magazine and now that you're coming to their town they will be more likely to go see you than someone they've never heard of.
I run Red Light Entertainment and work with several features. Visit to find out more or e-mail me at [email protected].

I am a local dancer in Va and we have feature dancers come in once a month. They have a lot of credits from magazines and contests. But they are not bringing in the customers. Actually the customers would rather see the house dancers. Granted if they brought in jenna jameson, the place would be packed and no one would be complaining. But so far no one has been impressed with the features we have had. I know that they are paying these girls $1500.00 for two nights of shows and the majority of the girls only have magazine credits. So i say if they can do it any one that has the drive and ambition can do it. Good luck.
Re: Being a Feature dancer- Advice and help
I agree... most of the features that I've seen this year have magazine or video credits, and lots of bogus titles... I think anyone with the drive to do it can do it lately...

I have done it, and still do. The guys like a house girl very much.
My mag. credits...ok don't laugh seventeen magazine, and teen. Along with a major pool company in florida. And a few Harley featutres in a magazine. Wooopeee!
Now i am speaking with Simmons (his agent rather), of "tongue" about an article on the phone sex industry, maybe some about "my dancing" since i can't speak for other dancers. They have contacted me twice !!!
Title: "Bite Your Tongue, Not Pamela"
I was blonde when they got sent in (some pics.) now i am brunette. I already told them. They don't care. Just want (if they accept) a few high glossies, provacative posing, and small talk about phone sex, and i did mention dancing.
But they said sice the mag. is about MOUTH....Lol. Phone sex would be right on.
Strange people. But nice. Stun wanted a couple of pictures, but i would have been in a small side pick with me hanging upside down from a pole, with them saying "damn if i could only stop banging my head". At least thats what it sounded like on the phone. I am not that hard up.
