Plan to bring an outfit that makes you feel sexy – something you could see yourself stripping out of. We’ll show you how to remove your outfit in a way that shows off your particular assets!

Good clothes for stripping out of:
- Dresses that can be removed over your hips (usually something with a zipper in the back)
- Button-down shirts
- Skirts with zippers, roomy elastic (that fits over your hips), or wrap skirts
- Thigh high stockings

Not so good for stripping out of:
- Dresses or tops that need to go over your head to come off
- Over-the head lingerie
- Pantyhose or full-leg tights

You should bring:
- a sexy outfit to strip out of
- dance shoes if you’ve got ‘em (or plan to take your shoes off – no street shoes allowed on the dance floor)
- a bad-ass, sexy attitude!
