What is a Feature Talent Showcase? Talent Agencies will often showcase several or more of their feature entertainers at a hosting club which will benefit from the increased traffic the feature entertainers provide. These clubs are often club chains which can further benefit from the close look they will get of the visiting features some of whom they will book for their own featured events. Features typically pay their own travel and other expenses to these feature showcases, gambling that they will be able to line up road trips with the visiting club owners and managers they will be meeting and dancing for at the hosting club. So why should some of you house dancers be interested in a feature showcase? Simple...You will have the chance to meet the owners or chief talent scout of the agency close and personal. In the middle of November, 2001 I was Pure Talent's photographer at their Feature Showcase at Regina's in Springfield, Missouri. Ten to fifteen club owners showed up to watch the features perform here and every club made at least one booking. A house dancer from one of the St Louis Metro East Clubs followed me to the event. She was able to meet the owners of Pure Talent and the club allowed her to do a special set for them. Some of the Regina's house dancers interested in featuring were able to meet the owners of the agency and have special photography done both for the agency and magazines catering to the exotic dancing industry. This event will be covered in more detail in a later issue of the Looking Glass. My stories and pictures are now being published in both "Exotic Dancer's Bulletin" and "Xtreme Magazine".

Schools of Dance

Pure Talent School of Dance offers its highly regarded program that prepares aspiring dancers for what is expected of them as feature entertainers.  Since the world of house dancing is as different from Featuredom as apples are to oranges, the school of dance could well make the difference between success and failure in an entertainer's career as a feature.  So check out the Pure Talent web site below for more information on their School of Dance.

Universal Talent has its school of dance, but it's run a little differently.  Here house dancers aspiring to become features can work in Universal Talent's own Club, Frank's Chicken House in Manville, New Jersey and earn money as they learn the ropes of featuredom.  To learn more check their web site out below and give Eleanor a call.
