Is stripping good or bad for the women who do it? According to sociologist Mindy S. Bradley-Engen, there's no simple answer. An exotic dancer's experiences can be both empowering and degrading: at times a dancer can feel like a goddess, at times ashamed and dirty. Drawing on extensive interviews as well as her own experiences as an exotic dancer, Bradley-Engen shows that strippers' work experiences are shaped by the types of establishments—the different worlds—in which they work. A typology of strip clubs emerges: the hustle club, the show club, and the social club, each with its own distinct culture, expectations, and challenges, each creating circumstances in which stripping can be good, bad, or indifferent. Going beyond the warring rhetorics of exploitation and empowerment, this book provides a rich and complex account of the realities of exotic dance and offers a fascinating, thought-provoking consideration for both academics and general readers.

Ms. Mirat has investigated top clubs around the United States over the last eight years to find out the truth about the life and business of exotic dancing. The book reveals how to become the best dancer in the world of Exotic Art. Nada's out to show that "strippers" should not be a profession that's whispered about in polite society. "Dancerettes" as she calls them, are a smart and incredibly talented group of actresses. The only difference is that their audiences are smaller than those of the big screen. It is a lucrative career if performed properly, and the book, The Art of Exotic Dancing focuses on the high class clubs in the U.S.A. that allow no physical contact -- just the fantasy and the illusion of erotic entertainment.
