Explore our PDSM Competition Categories! Pick your poison…

We are proud to offer you a variety of different Stripper Style categories. For the initial video round, competitors may select: Sensual, Show, Strip Tease or SS Twerk. In the live final, there will be the former 4 categories, as well as: Upcoming Sensual Performer; Upcoming Show Performer; Upcoming Strip Tease Performer and Upcoming SS Twerk Performer.

Downloadable information packs for individual categories are available below. This is the same information on the website and in the PDSM Manual, but it only includes information relevant to the given category to make information more digestible, concise and clear.

  • Sensual

    Let your seductive side run wild. The slower, oozing, gooey, teasing, raunchy or slutty elements of Stripper Style. Sensuality to the maximum!

    The aim is to create a hypnotic and erotic experience.

    2024-25 JUDGES: LAUREN ELISE, ANNIE NORRIS & PRECIOUS.

  • Show

    Bring the entertainment value of Stripper Style and wow audiences with impactful floorwork and pole tricks! Encompassing the variety of ‘club stage show’ styles, so you could go for high energy, dynamic movement (typically found in US show clubs or a ‘power heels’ style) or mind-blowing, elegant, aerial flow (typically found in Aussie style). Ballistic tricks all the way or a ratio of choreography to tricks (like ‘Old School’).

    The goal is entertaining tricks in SS.

    2024-25 JUDGES: SABRINA JADE, CHERRY & PRECIOUS.

  • Strip Tease

    Peel those layers all the way…Titillate and tantalize the crowd, make them beg for the reveal. All the tease, building to stunning reveals. Make the audience wish they were that piece of fabric by teasing it some more or flinging it away in the most splendid of fashions.

    Any strip tease style is allowed, as long as you wow and seduce the audience and your movement is drenched in SS intention.

    The aim is to undress to impress.

    At least 2 items of clothing must be removed. Full nudity is welcome but not a requirement.

    2024-25 JUDGES: CHERRY, KITTY VELOUR & ANNIE NORRIS.

  • SS Twerk

    Make it bounce, gyrate and shake! A celebration of booty bounce which is derived from Black culture. Twerk was introduced to strip clubs by women of colour. This ass-tastic movement has become really important in stripper styles, popularised in the 20-21st century by predominantly Black strip clubs from Atlanta to the UK. This category pays homage to the origins of strip club twerk and wishes to give it its own deserved spotlight.

    The goal is to use SS Twerk in floor & pole work to entertain.

    2024-25 JUDGES: SABRINA JADE, LAUREN ELISE & KITTY VELOUR.

  • Upcoming Performers

    *These categories are ONLY for live final. By invitation only*

    Dedicated categories for developing Stripper Style movers! For competitors who show great promise and get the chance to compete against other competitors of a similar movement and performance level.

    There are four ‘Upcoming Performer’ categories in the live final, mirroring the original categories: Upcoming Sensual Performer; Upcoming Show Performer; Upcoming Strip Tease Performer; Upcoming SS Twerk Performer.

    To have the opportunity to compete in these live final categories, competitors must apply to compete in one of the other original categories in the video round (Sensual, Show, Strip Tease or SS Twerk). Competitors are selected based on a fair ranking system: the top 3 competitors from the lower quartile of overall marks in each category will be invited to compete in each of these categories for the live final. Upcoming Performers will be judged under the same mark scheme as the category they originally applied for.There will be an option to opt out of the Upcoming categories in the application form if you would rather not be considered / only be considered for the original categories.
