I am not familiar with that business model. I am aware of something that may be along those lines and that is a hair salon renting out chair space to a stylist. But I doubt the dancers rent pole space or that they even get to keep all of their “tips”. In your example I would assume the person using the space has a great deal of autonomy and has drawn of a contract with the building owner with terms mutually agreed upon.
The owner does not dictate what work will be performed; when it will be performed; how it will be performed; and what will be charged for the work.
I doubt very much if the dancers have that much input into the performance of their jobs.
They do. Back in the 80's the going rate was $20 to the house per night.
Some clubs charged more, some less but they all paid to do their trade.
It's a contract. Rental fee for use of the club.
