    Default I want to be a famous Exotic dancer

    I know the title sounds like a fourth grade paper.

    Dose anybody know how you can become well known for your work as a dancer?
    Become very popular like may west and maybe marylin?
    Learn how to do sexy crazy tricks?
    Improve on your shows?
    How to get booking at differant clubs around the states?

    After seeing a couple of exotic shows. I want to do something more with my dancing.

    You just have to work VERY hard, toning your body, toning your skills at the Pole and learning to be very creative with your shows. You need to get some titles - as in find competitions and work work work until you get to the top of them. Titles are everything in getting bookings that will earn you recognition, I think so anyway.....Titles, and having something unique and creative, having talent, adn working hard.

    Or, you can be a complete bloodsucking, parasitic golddigger, like Anna Nicole Smith.

    That'll make you famous.

    I mean, either way, though.

    Damn, a little pent up aggression there, no?

    I think we all would put up with a little wrinkled skin for hundreds of millions of dollars.

    Anyway, I agree with Pooka...

    Hmm. Theres a few girls on here that are in Miss Nude "insert-location-here" competitions. You might search for some threads by them, I know Cally is one of them. There entry requirements are probably not "look model like and perfect" but your odds of winning would probably be greatly increased by having a well proportioned and toned body. You'll need enough muscular strength to compete with some very strong girls on the pole and what not. I'm not full of knowledge on this subject I'm just going by stuff I've picked up reading about competitions.

    Make yourself well known on the net. Hunt down and do as many contests and competitions as you can. Have merchandise made and sell it! Shirts, stickers, photos, etc.... Its all about getting yourself known. Start local and spread out... town, then county, then state, etc...

    There's a feature-training school in Florida...it's called Pure talent I think? You should start off by featuring, for sure.

    Once you're a known feature, it's all marketing...you know, Dita's not the best or prettiest dancer out there by far, but she is a marketing machine! Do as Dita does, lol.

    neither. you're expected to be exceptionally well-proportioned and toned. they don't judge on how slim you are or how big your boobs are, but they do judge very heavily on how well proportioned everything is.

    one of the main categories is your "beauty queen image" which is your overall beauty and how well you fit the beauty queen stereotype. they judge you on hair, grooming, makeup, teeth, smile, nails, skin... everything.

    Do you REALLY want to be a "famous" exotic dancer anyway? Be careful for what you wish for as you just may get it and realise it wasn't what you wanted in the end. Are you prepared to deal with your "famous" exposure as an exotic dancer "down the track" ... 5... 10.. 15 years from now ? What is your overall plan ... what do you plan to do as this "famous" dancer?

    I just think by the tone of your questions (as such) that you have "stars in your eyes" and don't really know what it takes to be and continue to be a feature (thus a "famous" exotic dancer).

    Have you spoken to any current and/or past features ?

    I actually want to dance, model and maybe do some movies, write a couple books. I really want to show the beauty of dancing! But yea Gold Coast lately I have been having stars in my eyes. I see all these beautiful talent women. Making so much money and doing so much with dancing. When these women perform thier exotic acts. they put me to a shame. Josephine baker started off with her banana dance. Than she became famous. Why cant I. Dancing so far is becoming the most easiest job I ever had!It is kinda like riding a bike. Yet I wanna do more tricks with it. After that iccendent with that woman on the train. I can not deal with people dying in my care. So I dont think I can go be a nurse anymore! I do really like dancing,

    I know being famous comes with a lot burdens. I actually do not know the burdens for a famous exotic dancer for todays time. I thought about what will I do 5-15 years down the line. I thought people will talk about you , be in your business anyway, so what could be so differant! I did think it will be so bad! IT you look at times now! I think exotic jobs are becoming more acceptable!

    But I have not really talk to any feature dancers. I really do not know anything about them, but the get paid extra to work at a club. Because the bring in fans.

    i know a few girls who have been dancing for many many years and have won some very prestigious titles and become very well-known (and highly paid) faces on the australian stripper circuit.

    i personally think the reason you see so many girls who have won comps/done magazines years and years and years ago who are still stripping now, is most likely because it becomes very difficult to gain employment elsewhere when everyone looks at you and says, "oh, that's miss nude australia or the penthouse pet of the year". i've lost a job before because they found out who i was, and i'm certainly nobody famous.

    it's definitely something you have to take into consideration. becoming a famous dancer is NOT easy. it takes an incredible level of hard-work, dedication and discipline. it is not like lapdancing or dancing in a club where anyone can do it and make money with a relative amount of ease. you have to compete against a lot of other girls who want this just as badly as you do. competitions cost a LOT of money... you don't usually get paid for them, and you spend a FORTUNE on costumes, props, lights, smoke machines, fire tricks, etc. and once you win competitions and get that name, you have to constantly keep up that level of discipline to not only maintain your body image, but also to keep your shows fresh and exciting.

    if becoming a famous dancer is something you really wanna do, then go for it. it's something i'd like to do one day maybe. but it seems to me you're looking at it as an easy, glamourous ride to lots of money and lots of fans.... and it really, really isn't.

    Do you get sponsor? Or can you get sponsor? I kinds figure it was not like lap dancing in the club. That is why I want to do it! Wow honey you got fierd from your job because of that! What type of job was you doing? The hard work and displine will be no problem. I rather work hard at something I enjoy doing than something I do not! I know there will be lots females. Who will want the same title. If this is what you have to get to make more money. What consideration do you have to consider? What are the pro and cons? What are the things that I am overlooking about becoming a famous dancer.

    it was a job working as an entertainer at childrens birthday parties. even though i would've always been in costume at these parties and barely recognizable, they found out i was 'darcy foxx' and fired me.

    umm as far as i know, it's not easy to get sponsored. as far as the miss nude australia pageant goes, i don't think anyone gets sponsored. all the girls have to fork out their own money for it, and it's usually upwards of a few thousand dollars for each pageant.

    when i said it's not like lapdancing, i meant it's not EASY like lapdancing. it's not just a cushy ride to fast cash. there's just so so so much more involved with it than that.

    pageants are stressful and hard work. the miss nude australia pageant runs for 5 nights. in the pageant you need to do a swimwear parade, an evening wear parade. then they do this thing where they individually judge your body parts, so you have to stand there topless while all the judges rate your boobs, then turn around and let everyone judge your butt. then you perform a 3 min sensual & erotic 'introductory' strip, followed by a 15 minute performance in a glitzy costume, then another nude parade.

    pros: extra money (although you REALLY need to get a LOT of titles before it becomes that much extra), you get to travel

    cons: can seriously impact your chances of finding work afterwards, bitchiness from other girls, having to put in a whole lot of extra effort to make sure you maintain the image you have created for yourself

    fame itself has both its pros and cons so i didnt list that in there.

    i'm not trying to talk you out of it or anything, just trying to help you understand that it's not as simple and easy as it looks.

    Sorry Darcy If I came across mean. I really need to stop using a lot !!!! marks. I really am thankful for you sharing to me. All the things that comes with the title. Not to mention the hard work to get there, and the pressure I that is in that type of competitions.

    I really did not know anything about how to become a well known dancer. I just wanted to do something beautiful and differant with dancing and be well known for it! I really enjoy performing exotic dancing. I just thought it will be very cool to be well known at dancing! Like gold cost girl said all i seen was stars. This is the first place. I decided to do some research on becoming a famous dancer.

    Josephine Baker is my idol! You should know she was a dancer comedienne above all. She wasn't a burlesque girl gone international star. She was a Broadway style performer who worked in the chorus and over years worked her way up! She was amazing!

    So my larger point is, if you feel the call of mainstream entertainment and the fame that goes with it--Go for it! See what you do well. You won't get nationally known just by exotic dancing but if you make it your springboard you can get there.

    Yea I just dont want to do just one thing, I want to act, model, movies, maybe travel and become well known in other parts of the world. I cant sing like christina, but I can carry a note. These woman start off dancing then go to modeling than acting, than next thing you know they famous. I just like image that is now of Josephine Baker, Marlyin Monroe, May west. These women may not have been given a lot of credit during thier time. But they made hell of a lot money. Plus who ever holds the title of thier royalties are banking off of them! It seems like you make money off of little stuff when you are famous. I know Josphine Baker was richer than most men in Europe. Well un least until she kept adopting so many children.

    Better by far to be a WEALTHY exotic dancer.

    (And if you also become a famous one on the way good luck to you).

    Why not set yourself financial goals like buying your own property of whatever? After all dancing is a career with a shelf life. What's better at the end of it: a suitcase full of headlines saying leilanicandy is Miss Nude _____ (fill in the blank) or looking at bricks and mortar and thinking "dancing paid for that".

    If you want to become famous, I suspect being an exotic dancer is not the easiet route - if you can dance, sing or act, why don't you try more directly for those professions? Having a hit record for example is more likely to bring you fame than being a dancer. Use your earnings to pay for singing lessons, then send a demo into the record companies.

    Which brings me back to my first point - set yourself a financial goal and go for it. It's more likely to bring you tangible benefits than being 'famous' - whatever that might mean.

    Phil.
