Not really. The person dancing is doing something wrong if there is something wrong with it. You have to prove that something is absolutely wrong. That clearly, in every one's mind this is nothing but WRONG, and that it should not be tolerated. Hiring people is actually good.
As for the bolded, there is so much wrong with it.
Because a person doesn't just get recruited. The dancers weren't (probably) sitting around doing nothing when they were approached by the people hiring them. They were probably professional dancers.
Which means they prepare themselves for this.
And if they are earning their livelihood by this, isn't that a good thing?
Since you are such a fan of analogies, here is another one:
The people who sell drugs are just trying to earn their living. The one's who buy it are the real douches.

There's nothing wrong with being a professional dancer. The problem isn't proffesional dancers exist. It's where they are used.
There is nothing wrong with selling drugs. There's nothing wrong with using drugs. People who buy drugs to use on the job are the real douches.
The person who bought the services/product and decided they should be used in an inappopriate way are in fact, the douches.

Then how is it sexist? Here is the thing. If the problem is the venue of the dancers and the dancers themselves, then it is just inappropriate. Not sexist.

No, the venue makes it sexist.
If you hold a buisness meeting at a strip club, it's sexist because it's exclusioary to the women in the buisness... or at best... being highly offensive to them.
The choice is essentially "Be offended or lose career oppurtunities."
It would only be just inappopriate if there were no women in the field/companies that take part.
Which if that was the case is probably a whole different problem.
