How to Become a Stripper at the Best Strip Clubs: Getting Hired

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?…

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.

Hi It’s Jennifer again and in our last video called, My Stripping Stories and How Women Today are Approaching Pole Dancing as a Career, we talked about how women today are approaching pole dancing as a profession and saving their lives, their jobs, their homes and even their children from the alternative of loosing their homes and their jobs in this economy. And they aren’t just surviving, they are thriving on an amazing income that gives them the freedom to pay their bills, pay for their education, buy a nice home, a nice car and go on vacation!
You might say, Now wait a second – Do you expect me to actually take this kind of risk? To venture into a sleazy bar – dance in front of an audience – and then proceed to take my top off? That’s truly ludicrous!
But Wait – other than the fact that learning how to be a stripper is a respectable business in today’s world and that you don’t have to compromise your moral and ethical values that we talked about on our last video – Can you think of any other profession that allows you to go from nothing – having no knowledge about the industry or any formal education at all – to being able to audition after simply watching my videos for an hour or two, and begin making hundreds of thousands of dollars the same day?

Exotic Dancing isn't as bad as the stigmas would have you believe!
Many of my Stripping Stories on how women today are approaching pole dancing as a career will shock you – including my own. From women who’ve worked on Wall Street to women paying their way through college, you will learn why pole dancing has saved so many women’s lives, careers, their homes, and even their children from the alternative of loosing their homes and their jobs in this economy. The underworld of exotic dancing has emerged from a maze of mystery and misconception into the mainstream with media coverage from respected sources such as CNBC, OWN, FOX news and more.
The first time the opportunity to try exotic dancing was presented to me after I graduated from college at age 25, I swore I would never do such a thing. I thought it was wrong – dirty, unhealthy and unsafe. It was, perhaps surprisingly, my fiance who suggested it to me after he had consulted with one of our dancer friends about the cleanliness and high standards of our local business club. He knew I was on the “30-year mortgage plan” with my student loans and credit card debt, and he wanted to empower me. But – the point here is – like so many closed minded individuals today, I had never been to a club and I automatically assumed that it was nothing but pimping, whoring and drug use. I was abhorred at the suggestion and shot it down rather quickly.
Reluctantly we went to our local club and started talking to one of the bouncers. The bouncer thought we were really cool so he went and got the head manager. The manager could see that we were serious and professional, and finally he asked me, “What can I do to get you on my stage?” I was flabbergasted! I thought the prospective dancers asked him that question! Come to find out they do – but I stood out somehow.

Exotic Dancers come from all walks of life!
Exotic Dancers are certainly a special group of ladies! You work so hard every night — hoping that you can make something of your life, provide for yourself and a family, pay your way through school, fund a business or other hobbies, and ultimately– you want to be someone. In my previous post entitled, How to Decide Whether or Not You Should Become an Exotic Dancer, I talked about some of the pitfalls and pros of the trade and how to steer clear of making the most common mistakes that most strippers make.
This post adds to the concept of avoiding mistakes to make your career much more profitable. Night after night during my exotic dancing career I saw entertainers making the following 10 mistakes and it hit them right where it counts every time – their pocket book! They would go home broke, frustrated, or knowing they could have done way better. However, they kept repeating their mistakes not knowing what they were doing wrong.
Without further ado, you will find the top 10 mistakes that entertainers make below. I’ve committed my fair share of these myself and I am resolutely determined to help YOU to avoid the following heartache that will make you unsatisfied with your career and make your club want to fire you!
Don't be so serious - have some fun with your exotic dancing career!
1. Don’t talk about yourself and your problems with customers. The customer wants a fantasy experience of admiration, fun and erotic appeal. Your customers don’t pay a cover charge, rack up a drink tab, and purchase lap dances to hear about more problems! They have enough of those already! They come to a club to escape reality and find an attractive lady to talk to and interact with who is somewhat intelligent, happy, and maintains a sense of humor!
The Solution: Do a voluntary exercise –find a customer, go up to them and introduce yourself with a firm handshake and eye contact, and then sit there with that customer and find out about THEM. Get THE CUSTOMER talking by asking them questions. Then watch the dollars come in as the cares of the world are washed away by you instead of being enlarged by you! It’s a tough nut to break but if you are willing to take the risk to break or avoid bad habits the results will be life changing for you. I’ve personally witnessed the transformation many times.

How Mirroring Can Sell Lap Dances and VIPs – Part 6

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:

Sometimes you will have to initiate conversation and get things rolling, so here are a few good lines to try out. After you introduce yourself and have your initial small talk, ask them these questions:
1. So, what brings you out tonight?
2. How about that baseball game! (or other sport)
3. Have you been to these parts before?
4. Where are you from?
5. So, what have you been up to today?
There are a few subjects that you must know a little about to be able to hit it off with most any client.
