Dancer of the Month

July 2016 -- Meet Sadie!


What do you do when you're not at work?

My hobbies include LED and fire hooping, spinning fire fans, and hand torches -- pretty much all the fire arts. Can't do that in the club, of course, but I perform in flow groups around Pittsburgh and in the Latrobe/Greensburg area.


What are your greatest strengths as a performer?

I love pole dancing! Most importantly, I never stop learning and trying out new techniques and tricks. I practice as much as I can, to be the best that I can be. Sometimes girls come in early and help teach each other -- I've seen some great shows at 8pm on a weekday :-). I've also found that the fire dancing gives me ideas and helps me improve my skills -- even when I'm not in the club.


I've heard enough! When can we come see you?

Well, Erotica has no shifts or schedules, so I might be there any night. I live pretty far away though, so I come most often on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.


August 2016 -- Meet Athena!


Some of those pole tricks look impossible - how did you get so good that the crowd literally stands up and cheers for you?

I’m self-taught, believe it or not! I’ve always been driven, and I don’t do anything halfway. I started at another club, and some of those girls were amazingly talented. So I watched, practiced with them, then got my own pole and practiced more at home. I also learn a lot from YouTube!


How did you get into dancing?

That’s a long story, and not an entirely happy one -- though it does have a happy ending! As they say, I’ve seen some shit… but all that’s years in the past. I have no regrets, because I believe everything happens for a reason. Every wrong turn I took only redirected me toward something better. Right now I’m happy, healthy, and looking forward to a bright future.


You’d better stay here for at least 10 more years :-) But what do you have in mind for that future?

I’d like to open a studio and teach pole dancing. It’s not just for exotic dancers, you know! It’s the most fun way there is to exercise and stay fit. There are even a few men who do it, and some have proposed making it an Olympic sport.

September 2016 -- Meet Dutchess!


What made you a dancer?

I have loved to dance all my life. I have experience in jazz, tap, and acrobatics, as well as more classic dance forms such as ballet and ballroom dancing.

I have always seen dancing as an art form: a moving masterpiece; a fight in my body between strength and grace. And I love to share that emotion with the world!


What plans do you have for the near future?

Well if you're talking about Thursday, Friday, or Saturday at Club Erotica, I see a lot of fun and dancing in my near future!


October 2016 -- Meet Rose!


Tell us about yourself

I'm very mysterious! You'll have to come in and ask me yourself :-) I'm at the beginning of my dancing career, so I have a lot more future than past!


What days do you typically work?

We don't have schedules here, so I could be here any day. I most commonly work Thursday - Saturday, but Tuesday's not uncommon.


December 2016 -- Meet Blaze!


Tell us about yourself

I'm a full-time student (well, when I'm not dancing). I also just got a new German Shepherd! Can you help me name my puppy?


What do you do when you're not working?

I'm up for all kinds of adventure! My friends and family never know what new hobby I'll take up, or where I'll travel next. I'm also very athletic -- despite standing still in my video :-) I'm a total gym rat, and very knowledgeable about nutrition and exercise. If you want to lose weight and get in shape, get a room with me; I'll give you some tips -- and demonstrate the results.


What days do you typically work?

We don't have schedules here, so I could be here any day. I'm mostly a "weekend girl" -- Friday and Saturday, though you might well find me here Sunday (especially on game days) or Wednesday.


February 2017 -- Meet Kassidy!


Tell us about yourself

I'm passionate about pole dancing! My goal is to become a feature entertainer -- and eventually have my own pole studio so I can teach others.


What do you do when you're not working?

I love meeting new people and having fun with my friends! Sounds simple, but that covers a lot of ground.


What days do you typically work?

We don't have schedules here, so I could be here any day. I don't just work weekends; I'm often here during the week as well. Come in with your sweetheart for Couples Week and we'll share your complimentary wine bottle. (I promise I'll only take a sip!)


March 2017 -- Meet Cassie!


What do you do when you're not working?

I am a devoted cat mom -- 4 little fur babies keep me pretty busy! Sometimes I leave them home and go out with friends.


What days do you typically work?

We don't have schedules here, so I could be here any day. I don't just work weekends; I'm often here during the week as well.


April 2017 -- Meet Maddie!


Why do you dance?

There's nothing I love more than just being myself - if I weren't on stage, I'd be doing the exact same thing in front of my mirror at home. So why not share? I do my own thing, and try not to compare myself to others. More than money, that's the root of all evil. The only person you need to beat is who you were yesterday.


What's your greatest joy in life?

I'm happiest when I make others happy! The best feeling in the world is when someone feeling sad looks at me -- and I see their whole face light up. I love a challenge -- that's how I learn and get stronger.


What do you do when you're not here?

I love to travel -- and take my baby with me everywhere (he's a Pit Bull). I live intensely, and don't believe in limitations. You'd be surprised what I can do! Once I designed a prosthetic limb for a friend who'd been in a bike accident; he's active and walking today because of me!


What days do you typically work?

We don't have schedules here, so I could be here any day. I mostly work Thursday - Saturday, though.


May 2017 -- Meet Alex!


Why do you dance?

I just love this environment! Everyone is so nice and supportive here. They say if you love your work, you'll never work a day in your life, and it's definitely true for me. Sometimes I think I'm having more fun than the customers!


What's up with the Miley Cyrus tattoo?

Sometimes I think she's my Mom. And sometimes I want to marry her! I hope that explains everything clearly.


Are you a dog person or a cat person?

I'm a rat person! I have two little pets -- Pinky and Brain. (Pinky is hairless!)


What days do you typically work?

We don't have schedules here, so I could be here any day. I'm pretty reliably here on the weekends, but come through the week as well. I'm everywhere!
