The Art of Taking It Off—With Intention, Grace, and Glamour

Striptease isn’t about what you remove.
It’s about what you reveal: confidence, mystery, humor, and the quiet power of owning your presence.

In Striptease for Burlesque, Exotic Dance & Every Day, legendary performer and Headmistress of the New York School of Burlesque, Jo Weldon, transforms the simple act of undressing into a masterclass in theatrical storytelling. Whether you dream of the stage, plan an intimate surprise, or simply want to move through your own life with more flair and fearless self-possession, this program gives you the tools to make every garment—or sweatshirt—part of the performance.

Jo teaches you how to strip with suspense, style, and star quality, whether you’re removing:

• A wedding gown (dramatic, slow, dripping with symbolism)
• A business suit (sharp, sly, subversively sensual)
• Jeans and boots (casual turned captivating)
• Men’s clothes (playful, androgynous, full of swagger)
• Or even glasses and earrings—because in burlesque, every detail is a moment

Each routine is part choreography, part improvisation, so you can layer your personality over Jo’s expert framework. She breaks down:

• The choreography of removal: What to take off first? How to drape it? Where to pause for maximum effect?
• Body angles and gaze: How to conceal to reveal, how to use stillness like sound
• Expression & timing: When to smirk, when to smolder, when to let silence speak
• Costuming logic: How everyday clothes become costumes when worn with intention

Beyond technique, Jo shares cultural context, performance philosophy, and practical wisdom—including how to choose a stage name that resonates with your essence.

This is striptease as ritual, rebellion, and radiant self-expression—not imitation. No experience needed. Just a willingness to lean into your allure, on your terms.

Perfect For:

• Burlesque newcomers crafting their first full act
• Exotic dancers refining their removal artistry
• Partners wanting to surprise with intimacy and elegance
• Anyone ready to trade self-doubt for the kind of glow that comes from owning your power

Because true seduction isn’t in the skin you show—
it’s in the confidence you wear like a second skin.
