Striptease came from the English word striptease, by combining two words (to strip — to undress + to tease — to tease), this name is used for an exotic or erotic dance.
While music plays in the background, the dancer undresses lightly in a very seductive and erotically exciting way. This style of dance implies a public performance, i.e. a performance in front of a large audience, most often intended for that purpose in nightclubs. In Serbia, the English word stripper is used for this type of dance – in translation, one who strips.
GENERAL FEATURES:

As well as at private home parties, yachts, limousines. Striptease depending on the performance can be spontaneous or carefully planned in advance. With a special uniform, special effects, music, smoke, special lighting, spontaneous or carefully planned movements. Most often, strippers are rented for bachelorette parties, birthdays.
Striptease involves light, rhythmic, undressing, while the girls, under a rush of emotion, cheer for the stripper to take off more clothes. A stripper can prolong undressing by using various prolongation techniques, such as wearing multiple layers of clothing. To emphasize, the focus of the dancers is all the time on the erotically suggestive removal of clothing, and not on the final state of the stripper’s nudity. In the past, a striptease performance would end when the stripper reached his underwear. Today, strippers continue to dance even when they are in their underwear.
There are several types of striptease. Apart from the most common classical dances performed by amateurs, there is a large number of different character forms. For example, American, Japanese and English
traditions that are based on lap dances to dances around the bar, dancing in the casa, dancing on tables and podiums to complete nudity. The newest direction of striptease is neo-burlesque
(example Dati Von Teese).
