Join us for an all-day stripping intensive led by Alexandria of Click Your Heels, or just spend the morning with us for Stripping 101, a three-hour workshop!

Advanced ticketing strongly recommended, since space is limited. Get yours through Forbidden Tickets or Plura.

And RSVP on FetLife to let friends know you're coming!

One day, two workshops!

Those interested in stripping for burlesque, drag, and other performance situations should plan to stay for the full day.

If you're only interested in stripping for personal sexy times, you may take the first half of the day as an independent workshop, or plan to make the day of it!

Stripping 101: Stripping for Your Real (Kinky) Life

10am - 1pm

We all take our clothes off at some point! In this class you will learn to be more present, take control, and make the most of the moment, in both everyday situations - like taking off your jacket on a first date - plus video dates, spicy parties, and any X-rated times!

Practice makes perfect! If you want to feel more confident and less self conscious when taking off your clothes, come learn all the tips and tricks to avoid looking awkward. Look calm, cool, and sexy in any disrobing scenario!

Whether you plan to embrace the spotlight of the moment and capture all eyes and attention while you strip, or you just want to make sure you don't fall down or look silly, spend a couple hours with an expert to up your game.

Or maybe you’re just a confident, playful, extrovert who loves attention and wants to know how to draw the focus of the crowd at sexy parties and dance floors wherever you go. Yes! Welcome to all! This class is ideal for all the performers, professional, amateur, brand new, aspiring, or just performers at heart; anyone who wants to add seamless and magnetic stripping to their repertoire.

Learn a large variety of stripping secrets to help you look smooth and feel confident, get all the logistics out of your way, and make you eye-catching, memorable, mesmerizing. We’ll cover lots of common situations and circumstances that performers must navigate.
