Art of the Reveal with Jolie Goodnight

Learn the artful removal of costume pieces with intention, presence, and style. Whether you’re unfastening a bra strap or slipping out of a glove, how you take it off is just as important as what you’re taking off. In this class, We’ll explore the foundations of classic striptease reveals, from garment handling and timing, to body angles and stage awareness using techniques for smooth, graceful, and deliberate removals.

Stay connected to the audience, control your pacing, and use every gesture as an opportunity to build anticipation. Under the expert guidance of Jolie Goodnight, you’ll turn every peel, slide, and shrug into a captivating moment of theatrical seduction.
