America's Most Wanted founder and dancer Lorenzo Fezzo has seen some bizarre things during his eight years of stripping.

“When I went to dance once for a private party there were a bunch of 18-year-olds at the door naked,’’ says Fezzo, a Latin and younger-looking Fabio doppelgänger. “I'm dressed as a cop and I knock at the door and they open the door and they're all naked. They're all naked. That was probably the hardest party that I've ever done and the craziest one. All the girls were very beautiful. It was hard not to be turned on.’’

Fezzo, a Scottsdale resident, runs America's Most Wanted, an exotic dancing company with 10 dancers between the ages of 21 to 30 who perform at clubs and private functions throughout the Valley. But before he caught the dancing bug, the 30-year-old was installing and repairing air conditioners.

“I started doing it for fun,’’ he says of dancing. “It was just extra money ...I was working for another company here in town but they weren't treating people the right way so I decided to open my own thing and I've been in business for about eight years now.

‘‘It's been good for me. I have a really good reputation here in Scottsdale and we have a really good show. We do a very tastefully provocative kind of show which is better than just going up and humping the girls. We do more acting on stage.’’

America's Most Wanted perform Wednesdays at Shepherds in Phoenix and Fridays and Saturdays at Anderson's Fifth Estate in Scottsdale. In addition, they typically perform at three or four private parties every week.

Fezzo — who has danced with famous exotic dance troupe the Chippendales — says the women at the private gatherings have had some amusing requests.

“I dressed up one time as a baby because it was a baby shower,’’ he says, laughing. “I had to come in as a baby and act like a baby. It was pretty hilarious.’’

Though he says he's open to most requests, Fezzo says he's turned down numerous sexual propositions.

“We get it all the time,’’ he says, shaking his head. Fezzo admits that the guys are often treated like a slab of meat at a barbecue showdown.

“You get the girls who are, like, in love with you and just want to slap your booty,’’ he says. “You get hit on all the time.’’

But can dancers date their customers?

“My only policy is that you do not do anything in a club with them,’’ Fezzo says. “You do not take them behind the club. If you're going to be doing anything with them, take them away from the club and never let other girls know that you have a girlfriend ... Most of the guys that work here, they've met their girlfriends through dancing.’’

However, it's difficult for women to have a relationship with a dancer, Fezzo says.

“Women have a hard time trusting you,’’ he says. “I have a girlfriend who I have been with for a year. She understands me and we have a really good relationship. In this business, you have to be honest 100 percent.’’

Fezzo — who once scored a $3,000 tip for dancing at a private party — says he hopes to settle down and leave stripping within the next five years. In fact, he's currently enrolled at the Toni & Guy Hairdressing Academy where he's learning to become a stylist.

“I love being around people,’’ he says. “Even doing (hair). I can make jokes. I can act like I'm a little bisexual. And people love the accent. The older ladies love me because I make them feel good. I make them feel special. It's a lot like dancing in that way.’’
