Shocking video shows a Dallas-area stripper hit her face hard on the floor after plunging from a pole during a performance – but she kept on twerking despite a broken jaw, chipped teeth, and a sprained ankle.

Video of the accident posted on social media over the weekend shows Genea Sky, a stripper at the XTC Cabaret in Dallas, performing before an audience.

Sky climbed some 20ft atop a stripper pole while doing her maneuvers before she took a violent plunge.
