This performance is often accompanied by music and is typically done in a nightclub or cabaret setting. The goal is to create an alluring atmosphere while maintaining a level of artistry and skill. The art of striptease has roots in various cultures and has evolved over time. It is often associated with burlesque, a theatrical form that combines humor and dance. While striptease can be controversial, it is also seen as a celebration of body confidence and self-expression.
