    Default Any Black Strippers in here?

    I am interested in stripping but have heard from my friends who strip and from reviews online that it can be very hard for black strippers to get hired or even do well.

    I am having a hard time to find a club in NYC that will hire me (although I've only been looking for a few weeks). Does anyone, black or not, have any advice to give? I'd really appreciate the help!
    Also if anyone knows of places that doesn't discriminate racially.

    I'm thin, proportioned and petite so I think I can actually do well if I find the right place - but I feel like I'm too thin for black clubs and too black for mostly-white clubs.

    im in the new england area , and the black dancers i work with do great! the guys love them. if you are in a mostly white club you will probably do well i think, being different and exotic looking i think black girls are beautiful and i've never heard of a club denying employment based off of race ( but maybe I'm just naive :p)

    i guess i am just nervous about how cut throat things are, i know people won't outright say "you're black we don't want you", i just think they'll say that i am not what they are looking for.
    i just want to find someone in NYC where i can do well and not have to worry about that you know? maybe i am overthinking lol

    I'm black and I do very well. It has nothing to do with race, you just have to carry yourself well and act classy. Not assuming you are but there are girls who act ghetto and trashy as well as look that way but rather blame it on race if they're black. And just so you know, any women of any color can be ghetto and trashy.

    The sad fact of the matter is that most clubs have relatively low quotas on how many black girls they will have on their roster and how many can work each shift. You might be better off waiting until after the holidays are done and go back to those same clubs - with busy season winding down, there will be less girls and possibly it'll be easier for you to get hired.

    Lol @'too black'!
    I can't be of much help as I am in the UK but from what I've HEARD,if you're a new stripper Shanna is right-it can be a bit daunting to be the new girl at a club especially if you haven't danced before, and if you have the added stress of worrying about not being right, or picking the wrong club that won't work well for you it could be stressy. But if you think you can handle the obstacles, try it and see what happens-you may get lucky & find a club that works well for you.
    It may or may not be relevant but where I've worked-guys either want a dance or they don't, and if you go up and do a hustle, no matter what you look like, what race/figure/age/'type' you are, if they decide they like you they'll want to see you naked.

    It can also sometimes 'help' if you're the only black girl, you automatically stand out from the rest, if you're confident and sexy.
    In the club I'm at currently, there are two regular black girls. One is a consistent high earner, she's cheeky. VERY tall, massive afro hair, not thin not fat...I think it's her mainly her hustle that gets her dances.
    Another one is a BIG girl-not big booty , big everywhere, really nice girl actually and really pretty face, doesn't reach top but she earns good enough-reason I mention her is she's quite funny, if she goes for a customer and he says no she goes 'Is it because I'm black?!! It's because I'm black isn't it!!!' I've heard her say this so many times and I'd say at least 50% of the time they think she's funny and they go for a dance.

    maybe i'm too political for this, but what is the deal with everyone saying ghetto (i lurked the forum for more answers)? what do you mean by that? it seems that everyone is saying that there is a specific type of black girl these clubs are looking for and i don't mind playing a role for the job, but i just think it's fucked up haha. to me the ghetto is a place, not an adjective or a describing word.

    Default Re: Any Black Strippers in here?

    Im dark skin and ive only had one club in my whole entire dance career in mass turn me away BUT I went at the wrong time when a well known racist housemom was there, went back tried again different person boom hired. Idk how NYC is always been too scared to dance there lol, but Ive danced in CT and Mass and have done pretty well. Infact, Im visiting family in CT now for the holidays and have been doing extremely well. If you dont mind driving I think it would be worth a shot Oh and one more thing straight hair does wonders! I love to wear my hair curly just easier and less heat BUT the one time I didnt get hired at the club in Mass my hair was curly, when I went back the second time with it straightened they loved me, mind you it was a different person as well but still anywho good luck

    I think your pics are great! I'm black and I have had some experiences with not being hired or being hired but my race was definitely an issue. When I tried working in a club in Canada once they hired me but warned that they don't usually let coloreds work their because they start shit. Really, they used the word colored. And when I worked at Deja Vu they only let three black girls work a shift. My most recent experience with race was not directed towards me but still quite apparent. I work at a rock club in Portland and one night their were more black customers in than normal, but they weren't doing anything bad just playing pool and sitting at the bar. It was my turn to dance on stage and I asked if I could hear Red Hot Chili Peppers but the DJ said that the owner requested only death metal be played until the black people left lol I guess they forgot I was black too. I have never worked in NYC so I have no idea what the clubs are like their. I hope you find a place to work and make lots of money!

    Agree rockin' body, adorable face. You'd do well. Play up your gorgeous skin and crazy toned body with gold flecked lotions or dusting powders!! Before anyone crucifies me, here are some I recommend that do not leave a greasy residue or trails of shimmer on customers: A great lotion is this shimmer lotion at Victoria's Secret. It isn't part of the main collections it's always in the section where all the mini version of sprays are by check out. Its in this silver skinny tube with a pink cap. Its not greasy, not even moisturizing it just leaves behind this beautiful glowing subtle shimmer thats stays put. Another is Sally Hansen shimmer spray. Its usually by the leg makeup cans but its just pure gold shimmer that sprays out and stays put through a hairspray-like aerosol. Lush has a nice Jasmine scented gold powder I use that's not glittery just shimmery. I'd recommend any three products. Play up your skin, wear sexy, expensive smelling perfume to your auditions. Dress nicely and exude confidence.

    Your body is great!! You will definitely get hired in Manhattan. All those clubs you mentioned are in Queens. The earning potential is higher in Manhattan so start there. There is no quota at any of the NYC clubs I've worked at with black dancers. Most of the black dancers are just very thin like you, no big booty or any of that. You got this. IF you do not get hired, it's only because clubs are getting slammed with out of town girls for the peak season which is now.

    Kayla, your a good looking young women and I mean every part of your anatomy.

    I would recommend that you apply in the white Clubs.

    If your "well spoken" stay with the upscale Clubs you'll do very well. Who wants to go to a club full of "stepford wifes" LOL.
    Haha, thanks! I am thinking that white clubs will be better now too with the advice i've been given, which means manhattan. i just have to find the right one now!

    I have encountered prejudice in this industry from the customers and possibly the managers. I see it as something thats near impossible to escape just part of life overall - But the majority of my experiences are free from prejudice because I realize there will always be managers, staff, and customers who are attracted to me no matter what my skin color.
