Hostess Responsibilities in a Strip Club
The work of a hostess abroad differs noticeably from the familiar Slavic understanding of this profession. The duties of a hostess in a strip club include creating a pleasant atmosphere and keeping guests company so they feel comfortable and enjoy their time, which encourages higher spending.
Girls in this role must be able to dance, because they not only entertain guests but also perform on stage, creating a bright show. Pole dancing includes one topless performance, and in the last seconds of the track — a brief striptease with full or partial undressing and a quick exit. During the evening, there are from 2 to 4 shows, as well as private dances and work on consumption, offering guests alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, champagne.
Why is the hostess job important for a strip club?
Hostesses in strip clubs play a key role in the entire show. They are not just dancers, but those who create the atmosphere and make the evening unforgettable for guests. After performances, the girls sit with the visitors, start an easy conversation, and subtly encourage them to order drinks, which helps the club increase its revenue. Of course, every venue has its own rules, but the general concept remains the same: in any strip club, the girls perform on stage, dancing and attracting attention.
Main duties of a hostess in a strip club
Hostess-dancers may perform topless or fully nude (which is less common), and sometimes they appear in bright and sexy costumes. High heels are an essential part of the image, and the degree of nudity depends on the specific club and country.
In some strip bars, large-scale shows with carefully choreographed routines are organized, where the girls in matching costumes make an impressive entrance to the stage for the so-called “Entrée.” These are bright and memorable performances that can be seen in high-status venues ready to invest in rehearsals and costumes. In ordinary strip bars, such complex shows usually do not happen, but every girl knows her hostess duties in the club and tries to make her performance special.
