exotic dancer

Removes clothing professionally

Exotic dancer is a euphemism for stripper—a person, usually a woman, who performs erotic dances and removes clothing for an audience.

The term sounds more professional and appears in employment contexts, club signage, and personal ads where *stripper* might seem too blunt: She listed her occupation as exotic dancer.
