    Default Legality of private parties in NC?

    I've looked around but so far don't see much of anything about this. I've been kicking it around because I hate driving to the clubs and not making what I'd like to in 8-9 hours of work.

    I'm not sure about laws here, if you can host a private party and what's considered 'lewd'. If it helps I am near Charlotte and Winston-Salem.

    Thanks,
    Harleigh

    From what I'm reading Charlotte doesn't have a license just for dancers, and it doesn't look like they define dancing as escorting either (some cities do). For Charlotte the Chief of Police decides who can have a sexually oriented business license and who can't. If I were you I'd call police department, ask to speak to the Chief of Police and see what he/she tells you.

    Winston-Salem's laws aren't pulling up (or too slow), so I'd probably do the same there.

    If the Chief of Police can't tell you call the City Clerk.

    I was wondering about this too.
    Also, apparently there are no legit private party agencies in the Triangle area. WTF who do people call for their strippers?? Surely not ALL girls doing bachelor/bday/frat parties in the area are escorting... RIGHT?? o_O

    Actually, most are. All the private bachelor/b-day parties I've heard of here (that don't include sex) are usually guys who call a club and ask a manager who would do it, or independently sold by a club dancer to a custies who asked.

    I found one or two agencies that do it out of Charlotte, but I'd rather work independently. Find one or two clients to see a few times a month and screen the hell out of them. This is what a friend back home did... she found an older man who wanted someone to dance for them but wasn't fond of the clubs. Or maybe I could find friends who are getting married soon...?

    Another thing is location. The friend I mentioned had the guy come to her place, but I am too scared to do that. At the same time I almost feel like I'd rather do that than meet somewhere else, because I feel safer here. We live in the country and have lots of guns in other words. Where do most of you ladies host?

    Pretty much. BF wanted to have some strippers for his birthday party at home. No luck finding any girls who really were not escorting. So, I went to The Men's Club and talked to some girls on day shift. I finally found a couple who were good for just dancing at his party. They were way cool and we had a blast. But, they didn't know of any agencies for just stripping around the Triangle. Plenty of places for escorts though. Unfortunately most of the escorts don't dance.

    Are the agencies operating LEGALLY though? In my area probably 80% of the stripper agencies are operating illegally. Meaning they don't even have a business license to be referring independent contractors... who should have a license to private dance but probably 95% of them don't.

    The number of illegal escort agencies here are even higher. In Co. Springs there's only 1 that is a legal agency with multiple girls. I'm not sure about Denver, but I'd say there's only 2 -3 legal agencies there.

    You are probably better off going independent if you are a clean dancer, know the laws, and abide by them.

    True true true... my only thing about being indie is security. Would I just hire a driver/ bouncer? Also, do I follow club rules and only dance topless or would it be ok to go full nude in a private party? If I did this I would want to be as legit and safe as possible.

    ^^^ Hire your own security person and have back-up guys incase your regular guy is sick or can't come. You can pay him hourly, hourly + commission (which is smarter), or just commission.

    There's a lot of ways to do it.

    As far as topless versus nude, ask the sheriff or clerk about the laws. Often the laws are different than what the clubs allow. Most managers I've discovered don't actually know squat about the laws, which can get the dancers into trouble if undercovers come in. As an independent you have to realize that the police are going to go undercover to see you, just to see if they can bust you - and they'll probably check you regularly so you need to really follow the law. On the other hand, clients may be able to partake of things legally in a private striptease that they couldn't in a club... for example smoking in cities where smoking is banned in clubs.

    Wow thanks for the info... I'll be sure to contact the sherriff's office about what I can/can't do. It really intrigues me because I get tired of some of the things about working in clubs.. high house fees, schedules, and you never know how many customers and dancers will show up. I'm also a little nervous about it, being a newb and all.

    I'm not dancing now. I used to work in Indy at Dancers, the two Brad's clubs, Babes and PTs. I also danced in Louisville at Deja Vu, PTs and the Trixie's clubs.

    Awesome... I wanted to try one of the Raleigh clubs one day. My bf has family there so it would be nothing to take a weekend trip and I could work at night and we'd explore the city during the day.

    I live in NC. As far as I know, private parties mean just that. As long as you're not prostituting, there are no rules that I know of. Law enforcement will probably think your escorting and hire you to set you up but again, as long as your only dancing...

    Another thing I forgot to mention on security, talk to the sheriff's office about that as well. In Denver security has to be licensed. The bodyguard needs to have a license for "Personal Protection", which is issued by the city. They also need a business license... which means you need to either hire through a company with a business license or find someone who has their own business license - or can get one. Then in Denver whenever they work for a client there is a certain badge they have to wear, so if the cops show up they know who is security and who isn't.

    Cool... thanks guys. I may be putting this on hold because my security guy might not be able to commit right away. Honestly, I'm going a bit stir crazy living here, so I'll probably just head to Guam for a bit. I think living somewhere I extremely dislike is part of my demotivation. I NEED travel in my life.

    I've danced in all the Triangle-area clubs besides 2. Im sorry to say I doubt they're any better than Charlotte.

    If you don't have regs, $200/night is probably about average. Right now girls working nightshift at the club I work at are struggling to even make housefee, and it's an upscale club. If you're gonna travel and you're already so close to the state border, why not try another state?

    Edit: I just asked my neigborhood sheriff about everything Kylea posted. She definitely knows her stuff. He also mentioned something about a privilege license.. I didn't want to ask too much about it. However, to Harleigh, What's wrong with hosting at a hotel? My best friend has been doing ONLY private parties for a year now and this is what she does as she dosen't feel safe going to the guy's home.

    I don't understand the whole escort/dancer thing. I don't think those two really go hand in hand. Why advertise as a private dancer and offer escort services? It really fucks with REAL dancer's money. It's just annoying. I see them on Eros all the time. If they were really just dancing but cool but advertising as a dancer and fucking the gent? *sigh*..

    Oh I would definitely just be dancing, and thanks for the info! I haven't really had many hits with this, so we'll see. It's very true about NC clubs... it's definitely a struggle to make house fees here. Very overpopulated with strippers/club. I think I'm going to go a different route altogether and work towards a pay site.

    Harleigh-

    Wow, seems I'm running into you all over the boards today!

    I was interested in private parties in NC, too. (I've never done them, although I came really close a few weeks ago, but the scheduling got too complicated. Besides, it was in SC.) I'm thinking they might be a better option for me, since there aren't any real clubs here and I would have total control over my scheduling. I don't mind traveling (even to Charlotte!) as I have friends I can stay with all over, and I would rather spend a bit more on gas and KNOW that my money was guaranteed. I would totally be interested in knowing how it goes/what you find out... I am so strained in every way right now that I don't have any energy to investigate it just yet. Plus, I expect it might be more complicated in Asheville and the surrounding areas. In any case, if I do find anything out that might be of use, I will surely let you know.

    Actually, I think I found my true calling in the industry and it doesn't even involve dancing, in the clubs or otherwise. I may give up dancing altogether, or only dance during travel/tours. If I do decide to book private shows, I will definitely let you know though!
