The Beating Drum



The Beating Drum is a cabaret Burlesque Club for high-end clientele, discretely located parallell to a upper-class shopping street in Downtown Detroit

Organisation
The club focuses on attracting high-end clientele, with prices and quality to match, but doesn't exclude anyone at the door. The dance-shows are in the style of cabaret or burlesque, either with a single performer or a choreographed group. Between shows dancers are expected to mingle with the customers, and encourage them to buy them expensive drinks or a private dance.

Luka Semenov is the acting manager of the Beating Drum. Those who know him are aware that he is also the manager of one or two other entertainment venues in Detroit, which collectively are owned by a Ms Chakrabarti.

Oleg Gregorievich is one of three bouncers who's together keep an eye at the inside and the door, and is known to be sell drugs small-time on the side.

The club has two Bartenders who works the bar. One of them is Joshua Porter, the brother of Caleb Porter.

House Rules
Luka Semenov, the Manager, enforces a couple of house rules very strictly. Even to the point where some girls have been fired for not following them in the past.
 * Appearence: Come to work looking good and stay in shape. Curves are fine, but don't let yourselves go.
 * Fantasy: Never enter the stage or the floor when not in costume. Stay in character and always smile.
 * Gemstone: Leave your Outside-Self at the door, here you are a Gemstone. Always adress another dancer with her Gemname.
 * Dancing: Make sure to practice your choreography. Dance sexily, but don't take it too far. This is not a strip club or a brothell
 * Personal: No drama, no personal life, and especially NO BOYFRIENDS at the club.

Interior
The club is a smaller two-storied building, with the first floor being mainly taken up by a lounge, a stage, a bar, and the backdoor dressing rooms. The upper floor is VIP-only, with private-booths, one-person-stage rooms for private parties, and Luka Semenov's Office.
