I’m Jennifer McCumber, author of Freedom V, feature columnist for ED Publications Magazine and I’m leading the movement for exotic dancer development at clubs across the country as well as online.
Here are a few basic steps to help you get started with the hiring AND the auditioning process at your chosen strip club!
Step One: Go shopping for a few basic outfits that compliment your figure.
If you can, take a man and/or girlfriend with you who will give you their honest opinion. You could also find an employee at your local lingerie or adult store to help you. You will need 4-6 inch heels – but make sure they are comfortable. You may also need medical tape to wrap your feet underneath where the shoes will likely chafe, to prevent certain spots from getting chafed and blistered the first night.
Always have an extra G-string or thong on you as well, along with a full backup outfit. Make sure you ask your manager what types of G-strings they allow.
Make sure that if you do not have your driver’s license and social security card or birth certificate with you at your interview, that you do have it at your audition, or before the first shift that you work; by law the club will need to make copies of these documents. Be sure you get your originals back, and store them under lock and key!

Becoming a Stripper is a professional, chic business for women starting out in their careers!
Learning how to become a stripper has saved countless women and their families from the harsh alternatives like bankruptcy, poverty, or not putting food on the table for their families. It has also served women in being able to afford a college education when their families cannot. I’m Jennifer McCumber, author of Freedom V, feature columnist for ED Publications Magazine and I’m leading the movement for dancer development at clubs across the country as well as online.
Now, I know you’re excited about getting hired as a stripper, so it’s time to go to a strip club yourself. You might as well have a look at clubs you might want to dance in, so choose a club relatively near you, either in your own city or, if you prefer, just outside your usual traveling circles.
It’s probably best to go with a friend, especially a male friend, since some strip clubs frown upon unescorted ladies (competition for the working dancers) and some services are only allowed with a male client present. You might be allowed in if you tell the hostess you are considering working there, but don’t count on it. If you do go with a female friend, make sure she “gets it” and can be supportive of your interest in becoming an exotic dancer, and will take you seriously as you explore this opportunity.
It’s a good idea to check out new clubs during times you would want to be stripping, because clientele and general atmosphere are surprisingly different on different days and at different times of day. Though you are going in as a customer, remember you are also thinking of working there, so be sure to present yourself well. Be respectful that the dancers are working, pay for their time if you want to talk with them about their experience working in the club, and let them know you are thinking of being an exotic dancer yourself so they will tell you what you need to know.
The following are some good questions to ask:
1. What are the names of your top managers? Which manager is working now? Could I please speak to him/her?
2. What time is the best time to come in and audition?
3. Do I need an exotic dancer’s license? Where do I get this? Do I need to bring my driver’s license and/or social security card?…

From women who’ve worked on Wall Street to women paying their way through college, exotic dancing has saved many women’s lives, careers, and even their children from the alternative of moms loosing their homes and even their jobs in this economy. All without having to compromise their moral values like in much of the infamous myths about this profession!
If you are apprehensive about doing this business of exotic dance I completely understand! Or maybe you have taken the plunge and there are people in your life that have a big problem with it. This apprehension happens mostly because society has always trained women to do only what is traditionally considered ladylike, socially acceptable, and polite. This is why most women in the previous century were either teachers, nurses, or secretaries – not that those things are bad at all – but what if a lady didn’t want to do that? What if she wanted to be an engineer? Too Bad – secretary school for her! Women were also told to cover their ankles and shoulders because it was provocative. I say that trying to control women’s decisions, lives, and limiting their options of FREEDOM for the sake of ego, power, and medieval ideals is the most horrid evil around! However, things are a lot different now than they used to be, and there are quite a few examples of this.
Here I am as a Hooters Girl in College!
Consider the following points of reference.
Working at Hooters. Before I became an exotic dancer, like so many young college women today, around my sophomore year in college I became a Hooters girl. The truth is that exotic dancing is very similar to a Hooters waitressing job; really there is not a huge difference between the two. You wear tight clothes, show cleavage, promote a fun atmosphere – and you get hit on by the clientele quite a bit. At Hooters there are many beautiful women all working in one place, and men come there seeking interaction and entertainment.
At Hooters, there are beautiful, friendly women working there that men avidly come in to talk to. These women give men a “GFE”—girlfriend experience—with an attractive young lady who will simply sit down with them and talk to them about their day. This is exactly what exotic dancers do. We will show men or women that we are interested in who they are and what they have to say, not just in selling them our looks, food, or drinks.
There is, however, one major difference: the income! It’s amazing that I worked hundreds of hours at Hooters during my two–year stay, but within the first few months of being a dancer I made much more money than I ever could have dreamed of making at Hooters.
This is just one example of how exotic dancing is like any other established, respectable business. It all comes down to sales and marketing: The business aspect of exotic dancing is like running and promoting any other company, and it is the best business education you can get as a young person because there is little risk, no going into debt, no overhead and you have no employees. Just you, starting with the basics and learning how to be independently wealthy without the headache of having to get a business loan or please investors on the chance that you might make a profit.

Now doesn't this make politics a lot more fun? 
Who are you thinking about voting for in the election of 2012? That is a very personal question and one meant for your personal reflection rather than public acknowledgement. Since this will be the most important presidential election of our time most likely – I have felt the need to reveal some riveting stories, facts, and unique perspective as politics greatly affects the survival of our exotic dancer industry – and how much money you can bring home as a stripper!
When I was in college and in my early twenties, I was as liberal as liberal could be. I was part of the new “social media liberal arts college movement” that was harkening the arrival of what would be Barack Obama, our agent of change. I remember when his book, The Audacity of Hope, came out about one to two years before he ran for president. I read it ferociously, agreeing with the ideologies of leading with fairness for all.
The reason? Simply this: I was rebelling against hypocritical religious dogma, judgmental social circles, and closed-minded individuals that told me how to run my life. I was brought up in extremist churches where drinking, dancing, and watching rated R movies was a sin. Sex before marriage was a sin. Listening to secular music was sinful as well.
This is what the media, my friends, and some of my college professors told me about how being liberal was different than being conservative - and I fell for it!
I became a music major and surrounded myself with the creative, the dramatic and the liberal. I began to abhor people who looked down on homosexuals, women’s choice, and a plethora of other things that seemed to be fun to do in college!
I was dating a guy at the time who proclaimed he would vote for Hillary Clinton and take advantage of government programs. He was the kind of guy that wanted to milk “the system” if he could. He could never keep a consistent job. He always quit everything he started.
Even though I developed these strong political beliefs as a twenty-something year old, I didn’t have the slightest clue about what national debt meant. I even had one of my graduate school classmates tell me that the national deficit wasn’t a big deal – and that people blow it out of proportion as to how it affects us as individuals in this country.
I hadn’t the slightest idea what stock market values and tax rates meant. I always made below $20k per year working part time in college to pay my living expenses as I had an academic scholarship that paid for a large portion of my education.
I always thought that the stock market and tax rates would have little to do with me! After all, I wasn’t some company on Wall Street or part of the percentage of the population that gets taxed 35% of their income, not including whatever their state income tax was. I grew up in Florida, which doesn’t have state income tax so I didn’t even know that state income tax existed – and must be filed on a separate form from federal income tax.

Some things never change!
From women who’ve worked on Wall Street to women paying their way through college, erotic dance has saved many women’s lives, careers, and even their children from the alternative of moms loosing their homes and even their jobs in this economy. All without having to compromise their moral values like in much of the infamous myths about this profession!
Erotic dance has been around since the beginning of mankind as part of many religious ceremonies. It appears to have begun as far back as the Cro–Magnon era. Historically, Ancient Babylon, India, the Orient, and the Middle East have practiced goddess worship in the form of erotic dancing rituals as part of their cultures’ religious worship. Evidence can be seen in pagan rituals such as dancing around the Maypole.
Exotic Dancing has been recorded in countries like ancient Egypt, Syria, and Turkey. In some cultures dance was performed for entertainment purposes, and in others, to appease the gods. In Egypt, dances were performed for the fertility goddess, Hathor, and in Greece, Aphrodite.

Let’s face it—the better you are at maintaining a good conversation, the more money you will make at your club. This will also set you apart from the other dancers. There is a vast array of beautiful women walking around; you need to have more than just looks. Personality goes very far in this business.
Here are some tips for conversing successfully with your client:
1. Listen. The key to being a great conversationalist is not about what you say, but what you don’t. Being a good listener is what it’s all about. Your client should be doing fully three-quarters of the talking, and you should be there for him all the way, helping him talk and skillfully guiding the conversation. Let him know you are listening by smiling, nodding, or commenting appropriately. Don’t let your mind wander or you will miss important cues and information you can use to make sales. By listening well to your client, not only will he have the experience he came to the club for (and possibly become one of your regulars as a result) but by listening and paying attention you will learn everything you need to know to make your ultimate sales with him. He will remember you as fascinating and captivating. Most importantly, he will remember you.

Mirroring is a basic and subtle human tendency to copy another’s expression, movements or posture during conversation or other direct forms of communication.
When people are talking, or simply sharing an experience together, they will often mimic each other’s posture, movements, vocal inflection, or even words or phrases. This subtle show of affinity is called “mirroring,” and though most people are not even aware of performing this social ritual, most people do it quite naturally and consistently. As an exotic dancer, mirroring is a tool that you can become aware of and adept at using to your advantage.
Mirroring is like a communication dance. Participants match gestures and responses during their conversation, as if in a dance. People do this naturally with both their silent body language and spoken words.

Probably one of the most effective – as well as most enjoyable – ways to show someone you are attracted to them is through the seductive art of flirting. It is a vital part of engaging your client in conversation, which I cover in detail in Freedom V, and it can be expressed though words, touch, posture, movement, or even a look. Flirting is one of the few means of communicating erotic interest while maintaining social propriety. Often the greatest power you can command through flirting is the ability to be subtle yet undeniable in your approach.
Sometimes flirting is done among friends as well, just to tell each other that they care. It is very important to show that you are interested in your client because it’s one of men’s basic needs– to be admired and appreciated for who they are and what they do.
Here Are Some Of My Top Flirting Techniques:
