Strippers are performers who entertain audiences by dancing, often in a provocative manner, typically in venues such as nightclubs or private events. Their performances may involve removing clothing, and they often use music and choreography to engage viewers. Strippers can work independently or as part of a larger entertainment company. The profession of stripping is often associated with the adult entertainment industry, which includes various forms of entertainment aimed at adult audiences. Strippers may also be referred to as exotic dancers and can perform in a variety of settings, including strip clubs and bachelor parties.
