Hi All,
this post is for any dancers considering dancing for All-Star weekend next weekend in Houston. After considerable talks with clubs and other feature entertainers, it looks like it will be a huge event with a superstar line up at most clubs. This event is geared toward my lovely urban dancers and my brave little toasters (what I call my pretty white girls that aren't afraid to shake it) So far, the major clubs for this event will be
1. Club Onyx
2.Club Dreams
3. Fetish
4. Penthouse Club
5. Some club name Scores I think
Penthouse is hosting World Star Hip Hop's strip a thon event with celebrity guests such as Meek Mills, and Maliah Michel, and Yo' Gotti....as well as various Athletes and models. The venue is very classy since its a mixed club during regular operation. Here is a youtube link:

Onyx is going to be a main attraction just based on its location. Club Dreams and Club Fetish will be taxing out of town dancers heavily with house fees. They will be charging $200 a night and rumour has it that they are wanting their house fees for the whole weekend up front in excess of 800-1000 by a certain date. (Club dreams wants 1k by the 12th to work). To me that's insane and unrealistic and I'm weary about paying tipouts that high upfront without knowing what the clientele will look like...especially since there are so many different clubs and parties going on. It will be hard to say how the money will be distributed.
I will be having a meeting over the phone with some of the owners and a few feature entertainers in a few hours to discuss intineraries and if I find out more I will post. I'm still unsure about licensing and dress code...I'm hearing that most of these clubs are out of the areas zoned for licensing so that may not be an issue. I am also going down to Houston on Wednesday with a few dancers to check out the area and ask more questions in person (audition as well).
Will keep you posted.
