Strippers
A stripper or exotic dancer is a person whose occupation involves performing striptease in a public adult entertainment venue such as a strip club. At times, a stripper may be hired to perform at private events. Modern forms of stripping minimize the interaction of strippers with customers, reducing the importance of the ''tease'' in the performance in favor of speed of undress (the ''strip'').
