Can I learn how to dance on the job?

Yes. In fact, this is the way most dancers learn. Not only will you see what is expected of you, but you can then copy and modify the routine to your own taste and style.

Question

Can I become an exotic dancer if I am 18 years old?

Community Answer

Some clubs allow dancers over 18 if there is no alcohol. Clubs with alcohol usually only hire over 21. That is mostly in the US though. It is different in different places.

Question

If I have some stretch marks, is that bad?

Community Answer

When it comes to scars, scratches, and marks, It's best to try and cover this the best you can. Dancers are to have somewhat flawless skin, so using make-up or other covering products can help with this until you can get rid of the blemish.

Question

Can I cover stretchmarks around my back, stomach, breast and shoulders with tattoos all around my body?

Community Answer

No, this won't work. If you have a minimal amount of stretchmarks, you can use foundation to cover them up. However, if you have a lot, you may want to reconsider the dancing job.

Question

What do I do if I found out my parent is an exotic dancer?

Community Answer

Be a source of support by being accepting and non-judgmental. They're earning income in a well-paying job that probably won't ever go out of existence. Even AI would find it hard to replicate desirability for other human beings in a role of exotic dance. The real question to ask yourself is why it bothers you so much and then to talk to them openly and respectfully about it.
