    Default Wichita Kansas

    Clubs and info?

    Engineer tells me he was shocked when a girl made him touch her thigh, so I'm guessing touching is quite minimal?

    BUMP because I tend to post at non-peak hours and my posts get buried because of it and now more people are awake in America/Kansas.

    It is very bible-belt and conservative. Many places have no LDs.

    Unless there's been some crackdown recently, I've haven't found the dances in the Wichita area to be low contact since before 2000. The only consolation is that as of last summer you had to be fully covered.

    There are four clubs (maybe only three now), and all of them will require some sort of permit. Jezebels and Pleasures are under the jurisdiction of Sedgwick County. Michelle's and Sheena's are located in a suburb called Derby. There are also a few bikini places inside Wichita city limits that nobody ever bothers with. All of them to my knowledge have liquor licenses.

    The county clubs allow full nudity on stage. When you are off stage, you must be fully covered, including in the LD area. Dances are $20 on the floor and $30 in the VIP area. The VIP areas are not closed off rooms, but are in open view. There are also VIP seating areas where the customer has to pay to sit. This cuts down on any potential hanky panky, but also cuts the appeal of buying dances.

    Michelle's Beach House is (was?) topless when I last visited. This was before the city passed some new distance ordinance last year mandating a 4' boundary between patrons and dancers. Dances are $25. I do not know of how strict enforcement is but Derby is your typical suburb where all the rich, white conservative people move to. I'm sure the cops have time to come in and write some tickets on occasion. Sheena's (which is actually the old MBH location) I know nothing about, but I'm sure its similar. It has been closed sometimes due to license/permit issues.

    All of the clubs except for Jezebel's do a "tip walk" at the end of the dancer's stage set. You go around to everyone in the crowd and ask them to tip you for your set. Some guys give a buck and some don't, and most find the whole practice irritating. Since Jezebel's doesn't do this, its not that uncommon to find the cheap/no tipping crowd there.

    All of the clubs sell "dancer drinks". The customer must pay a sum of ($10-100) and on top of that buy an actual drink at regular bar prices (which are rumored to be watered down). The dancer keeps roughly 75-80% of that money. The push for these is moderate. Usually a waitress will ask the customer once you've sat down with them. Most girls would rather sell dances.

    The bad economy and recent ice storms (a lot of guy's play money going to insurance deductibles, tree trimmers, etc.) have resulted in slow business (which was really never that great to begin with), and it gets even slower during the summer. A gal is going to need regulars to survive around here.

    I honestly wouldn't recommend any of Wichita area clubs even to local gals, and if you're just traveling through, the permit issues are going to make any notion of dancing here pretty difficult. Cities up on the I-70 corridor from Salina to KC are a better bet, albeit not by much.

    Hope this helps.

    VERY HELPFUL thank you! I'm already passing through to hang out with my Engineer later this year. I'll only be there a week or two but I want to write it off and test the waters. Really not big on how much I make just that I don't lose anything. And remember my definition of 'low contact' is 'anything less than LA'. I'm okay with boobie grabbing and ass grabbing and pretty much anywhere except the inner thigh crotch/asshole area.

    Hmmmmmm so the tip walk clubs are a better idea and Jezebelles is not actually that good? THANKS.

    Now can a dancer elaborate on housefees for me and how hard this license is to obtain?! Can I get it in a day?

    I don't want to lead you to that conclusion. The irony is, girls at Jezebel's probably get tipped more while ON stage more than at the other clubs due to the lack of an tip walk, but since there isn't one, guys can sit in the crowd and not feel obliged to tip. The few times I've been to Jezzie's, I've noticed a lot of under 25 guys there.

    At the other clubs with a tip walk, on stage tipping isn't as common because the customers know that the girls are going to come around and ask for one afterwards. Monetarily it may be a wash.

    If you don't get a response on fees/license issues, I'd give Tina a PM. She's been through the area before. Last resort would be to call the clubs.

    Lysondra...I would say skip Wichita all together and head to Lawrence. I've never worked Wichita before, but I have worked in Lawrance and danced with many commuting dancers from Wichita. Wichita is a pretty tough gig, so I hear!

    I did a search for Wichita, and this thread popped up. Would anyone have any advice for a woman who's seriously considering stripping and wouldn't really be able to work anywhere besides the Wichita area? This thread hasn't been too encouraging so far. : /

    I would try your hand at Pleasures or Jezebels, and see which one works better for you. I have not heard much news as of late on the Derby clubs except that Sheena's closed and got reincarnated at Bombshells.

    If you can manage a 90 minute drive each way (not cheap when gas is $3/gallon), you may want to try Wild Wild West in Salina. Last time I was there, a number of Wichita area dancers were up there.

    off topic but Wichita thats where Dennis Rayder/BTK came from.One of America's most notorious serial killers. Sorry morbid but just thought about it.
    I have been there before, before he was apprehended and it was spooky as hell.

    Wanted to leave some updated information here for anyone looking for info on working in Wichita, KS in 2014 and beyond.

    Michelle's Beach House has NO money making potential. Management is impossible. Most of your earnings go to the club. You're better off working for an hourly wage.

    Pleasures and Jezebels are your only bet in Wichita.

    Pleasures is more of a rock-n-roll club. Last I knew, dances are $30 per song and $10 goes to the club. House fees are reasonable being around $30 a night; be prepared to tip the DJ and waitresses. (bouncers too, maybe) You dance a 3 song set here; your first dance (can) be clothed, second song your top most come off and third song your bottoms must come off. Tips are received on stage and you (can) do a "tip-walk" after your set. The problem I've seen with the tip walk is that girls who weren't even dancing walk around asking for a tip, and customers get annoyed being asked for tips when they "didn't see you dance". There are 5 stages at Pleasures, depending on how busy it is. Thursday night there will probably be 3 stages... Saturday night, likely all 5 stages will be going.

    Jezebels plays more rap & hip-hop than Pleasures, if that is what you like. (In both clubs, racial diversity is about equal as far as girls and customers.) IMHO, Jezebels has far more "10's" working than Pleasures. Waitresses here are beautiful. Topless lap dances (sliding your boobs out of your top, not taking your top off) are $40; pantieless dances (leaving on your skirt or dress but removing panties) are $60 with $5 from each dance going to the house. Girls are far more likely to bargain with customers (and vise-versa) here because most of them complain about high prices, making it difficult to enforce pricing, etc. Three stages at Jezebels with usually only two running and often only one. If you are traveling through, Jezebels day shift is the only place you can work without a license that takes about a month to get.

    Best of luck to anyone reading this and feel free to PM with other questions!

    Anyone have any more current info? Is Michelle's Beach House still terrible? Are the clubs traveling dancer friendly? Can you get your license the same day you audition now? Thanks!
