Stripping while hula hooping
I don't mean lame twirling around hula hooping, I mean sexy on body moves.
Talent and control, not some obnoxious girl in the club swinging her lights half-hazardly around.
Anyone seen or heard of this going on in a club/VIP room maybe?
- Newbie here by the way.
I want to start dancing, and I know the hula hoop could eventually become a helpful asset, or maybe even to start off with.
Purely for seduction/to impress.
I'm aware a hula hoop is essentially a barrier ahaha.

If you bring a hula hoop to your audition, you will not get hired.
Re: Stripping while hula hooping
A girl at my first club did this once. She didn't do it right off the bat - it was after she worked there awhile and had already run the idea past some regulars who said it might be cool to watch, and she only did it onstage during her set. She had a collapsible hoop that she could stuff back in her locker. Honestly, people were like "oh cool" for like 10 seconds, but ultimately, I think only a couple people went up and threw money as tips on the stage. Hooping is "cool" - but the strip club isn't about being cool. It's about being sexy. The best that hooping can be - if you're super good and super flowy - is a little bit sensual. It has a "different" vibe to it for a split second, but customers are not going to be so turned on that they flock to it.
Bottom line: If you want to try something new for a night to draw initial attention, go for it - but don't expect some huge payoff or for it to last as a running gig.
Re: Stripping while hula hooping
Depends on the club, and the crowd.
It could be something for a stage show. Could stand out from the other girls. "ya know, that chick with the hoop."
I wouldn't rely on it, or over use it during a show. Could be something for a slow night or an over staffed night. Instead of using it as a barrier, maybe drop it over the head of a big tipper to bring him in closer, should work the custy on both sides of the hoop.
Worth a shot but get your hustle down first.

Re: Stripping while hula hooping
a lot of places won't even allow you to do that. i think it sounds a bit gimmicky, showy, and it would be hard to do it in a very sensual way. also, you would only maybe wanna do it for one minute tops, then start getting naked and being sexy like all the other strippers. guys come in to see hot naked girls being sexy, if they wanted to see that they'd go on youtube or go see acrobats. i'm not trying to be mean. if you wanna do something acrobatic in the club, take up pole dancing or learn how to do some cool floor tricks. oh, and definitely not in the vip unless the guys specifically requests it!!
Re: Stripping while hula hooping
I work at a club that has an aerial hoop and I have seen a hula hoop downstairs. But these girls are 11's on the 1-10 scale and phenomenally talented to boot. So it's not unheard of. But you have to be well established like some of these girls to get away with this. You mentioned you're a newbie. Don't even bother with it until you pick up some basic moves. You will look like an idiot at best and probably get laughed out the door if they even let you audition at all. Sorry but that's the way it is in most places unless you're in an uber dive.
Re: Stripping while hula hooping
Thank you all for your input!
Very helpful :)
Re: Stripping while hula hooping
I saw a girl do it and I loved it. She'd do it on her arms and legs and stuff too. The way she did it was mesmerizing AND sexy. I think it makes for a good stage show if you really know what you're doing

Thanks lady!! I think I really know what I'm doing ;)
Re: Stripping while hula hooping
A girl used to do this at our club last year. She got hired and asked management if she would be allowed to do it on stage. It had LED lights that pulsed to the beat of the music. She would have techno on and do it to pump up the crowd. Yes, it will grab attention, it's like pole tricks. But keep the hoop off the floor. Drunk idiots will try to take it and think they are king shit.
Re: Stripping while hula hooping
as part of a feature show it could be effective
Re: Stripping while hula hooping
IMO this is something that's girl hot. The other dancers and lady customers will think it's super cool, but I don't see it translating into tips/sales, since it doesn't build rapport with the patrons watching you and it's not like you are going to hula hoop during a lap dance. But I could definitely see it being a fun way to get through your stage sets!
Re: Stripping while hula hooping
Gotta agree with GypsyLace and ShannaDior - it's just not what strip clubs are about. Like Burlesque, arial hoops, silks etc it's girl hot, not guy hot. Men want you rubbing against them in a manner that looks like you are fucking them. Hula hooping just ain't cutting it. Go join a burlesque revue if that's what you want to do.
Re: Stripping while hula hooping
Why anyone would exert themselves for chump change is beyond me. ::) I'd rather work smarter not harder. When I go to work I go to make MONEY not to put on a damn circus act. We are supposed to be selling a FANTASY not a damn sideshow.
Re: Stripping while hula hooping
I hula hoop onstage at my home club, I have alot of regulars that want to see it but I only like to pull it out for a minute tops. People really enjoy double led hoops on super busy nights but honestly it has to be the right crowd- girls love it but old men just want to see my body so I don't even bother anymore. If you want to make the most money possible out of your stage do a lot of stripper tricks, floor work, and booty shaking. Things like pole tricks and hula hooping only make me more money on occasion and sometimes people want dances because they think its cool. Most clubs probably won't even let you hoop on stage, especially chains.
Re: Stripping while hula hooping
A girl at my club does it when its packed and does pretty good. She auditioned with it and the mgr loved it. Each club is different.
Re: Stripping while hula hooping
I've thought about bringing my fire batons out of retirement for feature style stage shows. However fire + alcohol + dudebros = potential disaster.
And it'd only be cool once in a great while.
Re: Stripping while hula hooping
I've worked with a few hoopers and even know a few tricks that they've taught me. I wouldn't necessarily audition with it, but let the manager know about it, maybe bring in your hoop on a slow day. There's one girl at my new club that does it, but they won't let her take off her shoes on stage and she has a hard time performing in heels. Just something to think about!
