Q&A for How to Audition at a Strip Club

Yes, they will. Ask at the interview for more details.

Sadly not! You have to be able to dance, pole dancing often just comes to you eventually but is never required.

Some clubs will allow such, but might not. You would need to ask the club before auditioning, to decide whether or not that is something you can handle.

It varies from state to state. Look up regulations for your state online.

A lot of clubs accept barefoot or plain flats. If you can't wear heels, ask the club you are auditioning at if you can wear something else instead.

Different clubs have different policies. Many strip clubs just require you to be topless. You'd have to ask the club you're auditioning at exactly what the job requires.

Many strippers have stretch marks. Unlike what most people think, strippers don't have "perfect" bodies. So do your best. Just remember to smile, and hold your shoulders back and your head high. Be sexy, be happy, and you'll be fine.

Of course! Some men (and women) prefer curvier bodies to stick thin ones.

In the UK, you must be at least 18. Some places require you to be 21, such as in Las Vegas. You will need to check the local, state or provincial rules to be certain.

Be an adult, for sure.

Most clubs do not do applications. Usually, in order to get a job at a strip club, you will have an audition, which can entail anything from being eyeballed by the manager in your everyday clothes to performing on stage after hours, or even performing for customers! The manager will then tell you if you got the job or not.

No, that's not generally part of a stripper's job, though some shadier places might offer that as an extra 'service'. Feel free to ask the employer exactly what the job entails.

It depends on how big and where it is. If it's just a tiny scar on your lower back I doubt people will mind, however if it's a large surgical scar or something, that may be a problem. It will also depend on the standards/policies of the individual strip club. Talk it over with them, see what they say.

The attraction customers have to strip clubs is to see women in nude or semi nude, which almost always includes breasts.

You don’t need to have sex, but you will probably be asked to strip and remove your clothes. Some interviews may have you stripped down and out of your clothes straight away. You may want to dress to impress, so make sure your lingerie is flattering. Go for something plain in dark colors; you can wear stockings if you wish.

This is usually referred to as a "gentleman's club."

If you live in any of the 50 United States, you have to be at least 18. Some clubs may require you to be 21, but that would be the individual business's decision, not a state-wide mandate.

Usually the auditions are held in the strip clubs themselves. So, contact the strip clubs in your area to find out when they're holding the auditions.

Not always, but makeup can help to hide it or get an outfit that is sexy on you and still hides the marks. Even if you buy a sheer dress, bikini or pants outfit that covers everything, you will hardly see through it if it's dark colored.

The best way would be to call around to the strip clubs in your area and ask them directly, also depending on where you live, all the strip clubs might be only topless. For example, Topeka, Kansas is such a state where if alcohol is served, it's topless only (though some clubs are sometimes old enough to fall under a Grandfather Clause, meaning before the law was changed, like for example Baby Dolls in Topeka, Kansas allows totally nude dancing and serves alcohol despite the law as they have been in place for many years before the laws were changed.)

It depends on what you mean. Bear in mind that the manager will see you with lingerie or even clothes-less, so they will see what you show them. You can hide some things as stretch marks or even tattoos with makeup and for your body, you could just wear fitting lingerie.

Strip clubs will generally want their dancers to be at least 18, though many would prefer 21 (especially in clubs that serve alcohol).

For your audition, you don't need to be able to pole dance, just walk around the pole and act sexy. Once you are hired by a club, you will likely be taught how to do so, as it is a stripper's signature move.

No. A lot of women (and men) don’t know how to use the pole when they audition and/or first start in the industry. Don’t worry about learning how to use the pole! Once you get hired, if you decide that is something you do want to learn then go ahead and learn. But it is not required to know any pole tricks.

Of course! No one is “perfect”. No stripper is “perfect”. There are female strippers with slim and bigger bodies. Some people like bigger women. You can still make money.

No, you must be at least 21 years old to drink in Miami. This is required by law.

Yes, you can still get hired even if you have stretch marks on your thighs, or anywhere! Most strippers do, no one is “perfect”.

No! Of course not. In most clubs that is not allowed. If you and the customer agree to meet up somewhere else outside of your job, that’s your business. But don’t let anyone push you into doing anything sexual you don’t want to engage in.

Not usually. Getting plastic surgery is on you (with your own money) and not on the club. But feel free to get your body done! It doesn’t matter what other think, just what makes you happy without harming others.

No. Don’t buy dancing shoes because you may not get hired and you may not want the job after all. Just bring a pair of your favorite heels you have at home. As a female, you most likely have at least a few pairs of cute heels. Bring one of those! Stripper heels can be quite expensive. Once you get the job and are sure you want to do this then, yes. But just bring a pair of heels that you like.
