STRIPPING 101 (from http://www.tuscl.com/) (\"http://www.tuscl.com/)\")
The Basics for Newbies
By
Celeste
FIRST THINGS FIRST!
So you have decided to give it a go. Good for you! Now to get started you first need
to find a club that you like. In order to do this you will probably need to enlist the help of a male friend. Most
clubs will not let you in without a male escort. Go to as many clubs as you can so that you find one you like best.
Go to the clubs around 10pm so you are able to see how busy it gets. Thursday-Saturday nights are the busiest.
Watch how the girls dance on stage. Make note of the music played and the girls attire. Usually the club allows a
big variety of music and costumes. Some cater to certain types of crowds though so be aware of that.
Next check
out the VIP section where the girls give dances. Get some dances for yourself to see what type of contact is
allowed. You\'ll be able to see other girls dancing in the room and just (subtley) watch what is going on. Some
clubs allow alot more contact that others and you want to be comfortable while giving a dance (should you choose
that club.)
Talk to the girls that work there. Find out the tip out rates ( how much you have to pay to work
there each night). Ask them how the management treats their employees. Talk to the manager yourself and see how they
talk to you and treat you.
Once you have found a couple clubs you like then find out what night their amatuer
contest is (if they have one). That is the easiest way to audition. Make sure you are on time, with your makeup and
hair fully done. Bring in some CD\'s with music that you like just in case they don\'t have what you want. Bring
an extra outfit and pair of shoes, in case they want you to start that same night.
Most importantly,
PRACTICE!!!!!!!!!!! It is hard to get used to new shoes so make sure you break them in. Grab a mirror and your
favorite songs and dance in front of the mirror so you can see what looks best. You want to look sexy so be sure to
practice going from step to step. If you are doing floor work (laying down, etc.) be sure to get into a standing
position smoothly and vice versa. Click here for Exotic Dance Lessons. They sell instructional exotic dance videos
and books for exotic dancers.
APPEARANCE
You have to look your best at all times. You are portraying a fantasy.
You want to be every part the lady and seductress. So let\'s touch on some things.
HAIR: Do something special.
Don\'t just wash and go. Curl it or straighten it. Get the frizz out, get your roots covered up, etc. Use fragrant
shampoos and conditioners or scented hairsprays. But don\'t overboard. Guys like to feel girls hair a lot so just
make it touchable.
NAILS: Be clean. Do a quick inspection before you leave for work. Take care of any dirt or
chipped nail polish. Get manicures and pedicures. You\'ll be surprised how many guys will want to massage your
feet so keep them soft with lotion and pedicures.
MAKE-UP: This can be tricky. You want to do your makeup darker
than usual because the clubs are pretty dark inside but you don\'t want to end up like Tammy Fae Baker either!! Do
your blush and eyeliner and lipstick a bit darker. Or if you prefer then use a heavy gloss instead of lipstick.
Always carry powder for the shiney spots that show up after a heavy dance session in the VIP or onstage.
PERFUME: Use it sparingly. Choose a subtle scent. The last thing a guy wants is to go home to his wife smelling
like another woman. So use light scents or body sprays and lotions.
BODY: Go tanning or use a bronzer. It makes
a world of difference in the black light. It makes you look healthier. Exercise. You are making money based on
appearance so take the time to make sure you look good. Use clear deodorant for sure!! Carry breath mints. \"Nuff
said.
CLOTHES: This is the fun part of the job! Be creative. Wear stuff that you are comfortable in. Try new
colors, experiment with new things. Thigh highs and garters are good accessories. To start off, I suggest getting 2
pairs of shoes. Black and white. They go with everything. Make sure to get slip guards. That is so important! Start
off with a low heel (4 inches) until you get used to dancing in them. Get 4 thongs. 2 black and 2 white because they
wear out fast since you wash them every night. I would say to start with about 4-6 outfits. Half should match the
black and half the white. Pink, white, baby blue, etc. go with white. Black, dark blue, red, etc. go with black.
Most girls carry a small purse with them. You can put your money in it, mints, powder, etc. Go to lingerie stores
and tell them you are a dancer. They will usually give you a discount. Save all your receipts to use on your taxes.
MUSIC
Pick music that you are comfortable with but also go with the crowd. If it is mostly older white men then
don\'t bust out with hard core rap. If you got a hip hop crowd then don\'t start playing country. You are
performing for the crowd and generally the more they like the music the more money you will make in tips on stage. I
usually try to do a slow song and a fast song for my set. Sometimes you only get to pick one song so make it count!!
ATTITUDE
This will make or break you so pay attention!
STAGE: Give lots of eye contact. Smile and wink and
make every guy feel as if you are dancing just for him. It makes the guy feel special and he is more willing to tip
you if you are having fun. Never look bored or unsure of yourself. Guys like confidence and like a girl who is fun
to be around. If you look like you don\'t want to be there then they won\'t want to be there either and there
goes your money.
FLOOR: Before you sit down, always ask if you can join him. He may have another girl he is
waiting for. Never order a drink without him offering. It is rude and guys hate it. Always wait for him to ask. Ask
his name and ask him about himself. Act interested. Touch his arm and make him feel important. Don\'t glance
around the room or socialize with other girls. Talk to him for at least 2-3 songs before asking for a dance. Always
be sure to say thank you for the dance or the drink or whatever. Show respect. You will gain more long term
customers this way. After you give a dance always walk with him back to his table to say goodbye and thank you. If
he is leaving then walk him to the door. Guys remember that kind of stuff and it makes a big difference. Trust me.
No matter how tempting it is, don\'t complain about your night or your problems. Guys come in to get away from
that. Don\'t lie and tell them you need the money for your car, rent, sick kids, etc. Every guy sees through that
and it makes you look very bad. Act like a lady and you will get treated like one.
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!

Seriously... there are some very good classes, at least one instructional
vid (which I own) around. This is a good thing to learn. You\'re hearing it from an ex-dancer.
Non-dancers,
who take this sort of instruction, not only learn to strip; they also learn how to walk across a room and rivet
every eye.
What I mean, is.. seduction is fun, but there are also other benefits-- poise, confidence, and grace,
among them.

Yes, but elegant,
old-style stripping is a graceful art form.
I REAALY wish the old Pink Pussycat schools were still around.

Dancing in front of a mirror is something only somebody with unhealthy self confidence can do and get
away without permanent consequences/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I\'ve seen the best dancers
turn to neurotic nerds when they see themselves dancing /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Just go
out there and do it. Ok the first few times the people around you will think something funny about you. And who
cares? THEY are the discophile monkeys who take it too seriously, YOU are the cool freeminded person making fun of
them in their own way /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I want to learn belly dancing. Maybe I could later segue into something more blatantly erotic, but I
always thought belly dancing would be fun. Good exercise too. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Belly dancing is what got me my 24 inch waistline, and flat belly. I was a profesional
bellydancer in So. CA nightclub shows for over 20 years. I quit a couple of years ago. Got bored with long drives
late at night. My stage name is Anbreen.
YES! DO it! It\'s GREAT for your body, you get to play dress-up, it
will make you strong and graceful, and your self-confidence will go through the ROOF!
Three pieces of advice--
1) practice,practice,practice, 2) start dancing before audiences-- even just family, as soon as you can. You improve
faster that way., 3) get or make yourself a costume as soon as you can. The costumes are designed to emphasize the
sound AND feel of the movement, so you\'ll also improve faster through kinesthetic feedback.
Two funny
stories-- one about a stage name, and one about an obnoxious audience mamber.
Stage name-- one of the dancers
used \"Khara,\" for along time. Actually, Revlon also named a perfume that. Til they found out it means sh#t in
Arabic. It means \"joyous\" in Greek, but you gotta be careful cross-culture.
Obnoxious-- one night, I went off
stage, and was dancing in the audience to the second beledi (fast section of music).
I was in a show at a hotel.
A guy stuck his key in my costume, and asked me to meet him after the show. I thought to give the key to the desk,
on my way to the dressing room, after my routine.
As I was on my way to the dressing room, a second guy
approached and propositioned me. I gave him the first guy\'s key. I always hoped the first guy would be in bed
with a bottle of champaign, when the second guy came in. <g>
Oh! One other thing-- an important part of the
dance is the veil work. getting hold of a three-yard piece of cloth and just playing with it really helps to develop
technique, even before you take instruction.
BTW-- I just judged a big bellydance contest in Long Beach. My 14th
year of judging. It was FUN! We also got a lot of TV coverage (slow news week?). <g>

Used to,
sometimes. Mostly Long Beach and O.C., though. Also, L.A.
BTW-- If you live around Pasadena and get motivated to enroll in bellydance lessons, I recommend
Kamala. She\'s one of the best in the business, and a VERY nice person. Her kid students have walked off with
trophies at the LOng Beach contest three years running.

I am in an MBA program at the moment, so no belly dancing for me. I ask
because there is a resturant in Pasadena called Burger Continental that has belly dancers perform at times. I

I have performed there. But,it\'s been awhile. I think Kamala, in fact, is there now.
My
friends and I eat there, a lot (LOVE the Jerualem salad!). And, my friend, John Bilezikjian use to perform there.
