While they are young and very pretty, most of the dancers seem to think they're doing a drag show. My advice to the management is to better inform the dancers about the expectations of customers. Given the closing of the so many of the DC area strip & sex clubs and the most unfortunate closing of Club Atlantis, we who live in the Baltimore area hope for the best for Spectrum. Last night customers didn't even hand the dancers their dollar tips - the customers were throwing theme onto the floor of the dancing area. On the first floor several dance simultaneously in a little central stage-pit area and despite the close proximity of the customers there is very little interplay between the customers and dancers. They are certainly not trying to be sexy - for most they are coyly gyrating and frantically wiggling. We transplanted ourselves to New York, and in 2011 gage started the Spectrum in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to resist the closure of DIY queer venues in the city.
I feel like the dancers at Spectrum are largely in their own world. It was certainly a first to see a black dancer in a Baltimore strip club, but I'd like to see a dancer with some muscle, a big cock - or especially a hard cock - and perhaps some relatively masculine dancers. I wish Spectrum would get more variety in the dancers. There is supposed to be an amateur dance contest on Thursdays at 1030pm and when you enter the doorman often gives you a raffle ticket although as best I could tell, there is never a drawing. Although one should, there is no overt pressure to tip, and all of the staff (doormen, bartender, and dancers) are very friendly. They seem to be enjoying themselves, most are enthusiastic dancers and several wear touches of costume. Most of the dancers are small in stature(both in body and cock size) and pretty effeminate. The dancers remind me of those found at Heat, the recently closed DC strip club - and I hated Heat. The neighborhor is safe and not intimidating. It's certainly a small hole-in-the-wall but it has a certain charm. Each time I found on-street parking within the block.
