WATCH: Nude Dance Competition Shuts Down Nightclub

A video showed women stripping their clothes during a dance contest at La Covacha nightclub in Miami, which caused the city of Sweetwater to close the establishment temporarily. The footage went viral on social media Tuesday.

The nightclub closed its doors Wednesday after the scandal behind a dance contest in which participants removed their clothing to win tickets to a concert — featuring Cuban reggaeton duo Yomil y el Dany. The women competed for $900 tickets to the Aug. 12 show.

In the clip, three women are seen removing their clothes and dancing to music, while spectators, including the club’s DJ, yelled, "Take it off!" Facebook removed the video Tuesday.

Idania Llanio, the Vice Mayor of Sweetwater, commented on the suspension of the club to local news. Law required city officials to close the club based on the nudity.

"Based on what we saw, it was clear something has to be done right away," Llanio told NBC affiliate WTVJ Wednesday.

Sweetwater police Major Aquiles Carmona said La Covacha’s owners could appeal the suspension and restore its operating license.

The club broke a county ordinance, which prohibits adult entertainment of any kind without a proper license, Carmona told el Nuevo Herald Wednesday. La Covacha is only authorized to function as a restaurant and nightclub.

The Sweetwater Police Department received several complaints regarding the nightclub’s incident, the majority of city commissioners considered the dancing appalling, Camona said.

Commissioner Manuel Duasso claimed the video "made the city look bad." He said citizens of the city called the incident shameful.

"I, like other citizens, think that this is a scandal," Duasso told el Nuevo Herald Wednesday.

Miami event promoter Rolnier Tito shared a different sentiment. He distributed the video on Facebook, claiming the dance competition was "something normal" throughout the Miami club scene, a kind of "tradition" that originated from the downtown Miami club Mekka and the Atarazana Nightclub.

"Show business has its own lifestyle. The people who are outside of it can see it as something that is wrong, but this is something that has been happening in discotheques for a while now," Tito told el Nuevo Herald.

The video amassed hundreds of Facebook comments. Some commenters said the dancers displayed a "lack of dignity," while others remarked on the women’s appearance. Tito called the event harmless, saying people had an affinity for that type of entertainment. He said some of the Facebook users enjoyed the video.

"There are people in the entertainment industry in Miami who have a more open mind for this type of promotion," Tito said, emphasizing that "30 percent" of commentators considered the video to be entertaining.

La Covacha's secretary said the owner, Erick Rodríguez, is out of town in Argentina and the club does not condone the behavior displayed I the video, according to WTVJ.
