Baile Privado


Explanation:
it depends on what country you are in, in Mexico and Puerto Rico it can be called Baile privado (private dance). In Mexico, the girls that do these type of dance are sometimes called (in slang) "tableleras" or "teiboleras" it is a term based on the word table, because the type of dance is a table dance.
