Stripping. The act of sensuous self-manipulation and gyration around a metal pole (usually in a strip club) with the intent of stirring up lust in the people viewing the dance. The pole is an integral part of the dance because it assists in some maneuvers and because it furnishes a central gathering point for people either to watch or to present tips.
Any attempt to pole dance without stripping is mere trifling.
