Bar
top dancing has taken popularity in a number of
entertainment outlets since the relaxation of rules by the
police. We would like to take this opportunity to draw
attention to aspects of bar top dancing following queries
from the media.
Some
entertainment outlets may be using the services of paid
dancers to perform on bar-tops, sometimes together with
patrons. Police would like to clarify that where there is
the use of paid dancers by the operator to perform on
bar-tops, this is considered a form of live entertainment in
which a separate public entertainment licence is required.
Police
would also like to remind entertainment outlet operators
that licensing conditions do not allow for performers to
mingle with patrons unless express permission has been
sought from the Police Licensing Division. Police will only
allow mingling if the performer has been endorsed by the
Singapore Tourism Board.
Police
seeks the compliance by operators of the licensing
conditions and will be conducting checks to ensure
compliance. We will take summons action against those who
are in breach of the conditions. Operators in need of
clarification or further information should enquire with the
Public Entertainment Licensing Unit (PELU) at 65575819 or
65575823
