Dancing in the Pandemic

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Mar 26, 2021

When the pandemic hit last year, one industry that was especially devastated was live entertainment, including people who make their living in the strip club industry. For a recent episode of Death, Sex, and Money, Anna Sale investigated the Texas strip club scene. She spoke with dancer Jessica Barrerra about her livelihood and how drastically the pandemic has affected her line of work. This is an excerpt from the full episode, Masks On, Tops Off: Inside a Texas Strip Club.

This segment is guest-hosted by Anna Sale.
