    Default dancer/business licenses& background checks

    Hello everyone,


    I've been interested in doing some travel dancing, but was worried about the business licenses required in states. For example, I think Texas requires business license or maybe even a sherrif's license? If some states require a business license, I could put in the name of a restaurant or something...? But if some states require you to have a letter of being being hired at somewhere in that state (like a gaming or non-gaming sheriff's license), what's the likelihood of in a routine job background check that a business license and sheriff's license will show up? I mean for a routine background check for getting hired at a day care or health facility or such? Anyone heard of horror stories? I'm not going to travel dance in a state that would specifically require an "exotic dancer" or "adult" license, because that would be too obvious if it were on a background check. Any suggestions? I'm just trying to figure out how risky it'd be...if I should just stay put in my state where no license is required, or go take the risk?Thanks so much for your input, and sorry if my question is not so clear and a bit muddly.

    I can tell you that as off right now licenses in West Palm Beach, FL will not show up on background checks. They don't put the applications into the computer, so a person doing a background check would have to go into the record area and actually ask to see if you'd put in an application.

    What will show up varies from place to place. Your best bet is to call the licensing places and ask them if their records go into any sort of computerized database, and if that database reports anywhere that might lead to the license showing up on a background search. Keep in mind though that a lot of people have to be licensed for a lot of different types of work... like the sheriffs cards in Vegas aren't just for exotic dancers - so people don't really question those.

    Great thanks for your info! Good to know. Does anyone know if Texas (Dallas?)licenses or Vegas licenses go into a computerized database (well maybe very likely because those are huge cities...). I know i'm being so paranoid lol! Thanks

    Yes in Dallas, they do fingerprints and background checks. Houston doesn't license anymore because of the new law so it's all full bottoms and bikinis, same for San Antonio. But Dallas is still topless that's why they do the background checks.
