'der Strip' and 'der Striptease' can both refer to an erotic performance in which someone takes off their clothes to music. In this meaning, they are very similar. 'Striptease' is the more precise and complete word for the performance. 'Strip' sounds shorter and can be used in everyday language as a shortened form of it. However, the words can be confused because 'Strip' can also have other meanings, for example a short picture story or a narrow strip. If the context is not clear, 'Striptease' is more unambiguous.
