"Exotic strip plastic" refers to a sensual dance style that originated in Russia, focusing on fluid, graceful, and expressive body movements, often combined with elements of floorwork, acrobatics, and contemporary dance. Despite the "strip" in its name, it is not about stripping but rather emphasizes the "plasticity" and beauty of the dancer's body through smooth, continuous motion. This style is a key component of exotic pole dancing, a broader category that merges the fluidity of strip plastic with pole work and other dance forms. Key characteristics Fluidity and grace: The style is defined by seamless, continuous movements that showcase the dancer's control and flexibility. Sensuality: It is a seductive and feminine style that allows for self-expression. Floorwork: A significant portion of the dance is performed on the floor, where movements are integrated into the choreography to create beautiful lines. Acrobatics and strength: It requires significant strength, flexibility, and endurance for both floor and pole-based moves. Choreography: It often involves choreographed routines that blend different dance techniques like ballet, contemporary, and modern dance. Related styles Exotic pole dance: A broader category that incorporates strip plastic and other styles onto a dance pole, creating a dynamic and flowing performance. Frame up strip: A sub-style that is more about sharp, precise, and complex choreography. Unlike strip plastic, it can be dark or extravagant rather than just sensual, and it often utilizes specific platform shoes called "strips" for certain movements.
