WHAT IS SKIRT CLUB?

Skirt Club is for ladies only. It hosts a private members network for the curious kind; both intellectually and sexually. We exist to embolden women at a time when sexual fluidity is embraced. Society is turning a page in modern girl thinking of what “sexual attraction” can mean. Skirt Club encourages that freedom of expression, meaning members can explore safely within their comfort zone and be true to their own desires. Designed by women, for women, Skirt Club basks in glamour; free-flowing champagne, exclusive burlesque performances, Shibari demonstrations, and… much more. All our guests share a desire to learn what it means to be a woman from the inside-out. Knowing yourself and what moves you requires honesty and self-exploration; Skirt Club allows women to express themselves while managing risk – in essence, you are in control of your own destiny.
