Mastering Strip Club Etiquette: The Do’s and Don’ts

Do: Show Respect to the Dancers
Our dancers are skilled professionals who bring artistry, confidence, and charisma to every performance. Treat them with courtesy by engaging politely, complimenting their talents, and always asking for permission before any interaction, like requesting a private dance. Respecting their boundaries creates a positive vibe for everyone.

Don’t: Touch Without Consent
Never touch a dancer unless they’ve explicitly invited you to do so during a paid dance or performance. Each dancer sets their own boundaries, and ignoring this rule can lead to immediate removal from the club. When in doubt, ask politely—our dancers and staff are happy to clarify expectations.
Why It Matters: Respecting personal boundaries ensures a safe, enjoyable environment for all guests and performers.
Do: Tip Like a Pro
Tipping is a cornerstone of strip club culture. If you’re captivated by a stage performance, toss some cash to show your appreciation. For private dances or VIP experiences, tipping generously above the base rate acknowledges the dancer’s time and talent. At New Century, our performers go all out, so a little extra goes a long way.

This Vice guide to strip club tipping breaks down the do’s and don’ts for when attending a strip club.
Do: Dress the Part
New Century Theater is an upscale venue, and your attire should reflect that. Opt for smart casual looks like collared shirts, tailored pants, or nice jeans. Skip the athletic wear, hoodies, or sandals to blend into our sophisticated ambiance. Dressing sharp enhances your experience and shows respect for the venue.
Don’t: Use Your Phone for Photos or Videos
Cameras and recording devices are a big no-no at New Century. Taking photos or videos violates the privacy of our dancers and guests and may result in ejection from the club. Instead, soak in the live energy—nothing beats the real thing!
Do: Be Clear About Your Plans
Whether you’re booking a private dance, reserving a table, or planning a group event, communicate your preferences clearly. Let our staff know your budget, group size, or any special requests, and we’ll tailor the night to your needs. Clear communication ensures a seamless, personalized experience.
