BTW, calling yourself a 'dancer' as opposed to a 'stripper' is analogous to a porn star calling him/herself an actor/actress: in an objective sense, perhaps it's true, but in reality, bullshit.

Sorry, but I can't let this one go unanswered. I call myself a dancer, because dancing IS what I do. Exotic dancing, but dancing nonetheless. 'To strip' means 'to disrobe; to remove one's clothing'. That's part of what I do, to be sure, but I don't walk on the stage, take off my clothes and stand there. The dancing is the performance part of what I do. If the patrons want to just look at me naked, they could just view my pics online for free. Instead, they pay money to watch me perform, to dance. More times than not, I'm not actually 'allowed' (technically) to show the full monty. In my job, it's more about the dancing, the entertaining than the near nudity. I don't care how hung a dude is, if he can't dance, he won't make it in this line. I call myself a dancer because it's what I am.
