    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Katt Shea got the idea for this film after her then husband Andy Ruben made her go to a strip club after she lost a bet with him. At first, she was embarrassed because everyone thought she was an off-duty stripper. When she sat down to watch the show, she soon realized that their dancing was a valid form of artistic expression. That's when she decided to make this movie in order to show their true abilities.
