The format is basically the same at all clubs. Instead of buying tickets like in the old taxi dance halls of the pre-WWII era, when you ask a girl to dance she'll tell a person at the counter to clock her in. The counter person will take a card from a rack and punch a time clock. For $.50 a minute, which works out to $30 an hour (there's a 10 min. minimum at most clubs), you can dance and/or sit and talk on couches with the girl(s) of your choice.

 You can clock in more than one girl at a time if you like, although I’ve rarely seen this. Of course you will be billed for the time you spend with both. The standard tip in the integrated clubs is to match the bill. For simplicity's sake, I round off to the nearest multiple of $5. The clubs are not allowed to serve alcohol, so the girls can be as young as 18. Most are in their early to mid 20's, a few in their early 30's, very few over 35.
