Parties
Full legal names, business names, addresses, and contact information for the venue, agency (if applicable), and dancer to ensure correct legal identification and service details.
A written agreement protects both parties by documenting pay terms, rights to images and recordings, scheduling expectations, and dispute procedures. It supports accurate payroll, reduces misclassification risk, and provides a record useful for resolving wage or legal disputes.
Each signer should verify classification, tax withholding, and any venue-specific policies before signing to avoid later disputes.
The manager or authorized representative executes agreements on the venue’s behalf, confirms payroll and tip-handling procedures, and ensures compliance with local employment and licensing rules. They should be listed with title and contact details for enforcement or notices.
The dancer signs to accept terms including classification, compensation, schedule, and image release. The dancer must provide proof of identity and age and read any consent, privacy, or non-disclosure clauses before signing.
