As we know from Wednesday's episode of The Golden Bachelorette, the men vying to win Joan Vassos' heart are athletic — but are they "Chippendales striptease" athletic?

Viewers will learn the answer to that question next Wednesday on the fourth episode of Joan's "journey." Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive clip of the sexy group date, in which the Golden Bachelorette and former Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe reveal to the men that they'll be performing a Chippendales-esque dance routine to raise awareness for Stand Up To Cancer.

The announcement comes with a surprise performance from some of the "OG" Chippendales' dancers, who have no problem executing some steamy moves despite their Golden status.

From there, Joan's dates — Chock, Pascal, Jonathan, Dan, Keith, Gil, Mark, Charles, and Gary — get a lesson in some classic Chippendales moves, including the "body roll." Watch the full clip above.

EW was on set for The Golden Bachelorette's "Bare it All for Cancer" revue, and Joan shared that while she had "mixed feelings" about the striptease date at first, she ultimately appreciated the opportunity to raise awareness for Stand Up To Cancer. "My husband died of pancreatic cancer, the fact that it's for a charity makes it all good for me," she said. As for how she was going to choose a winner, the Golden Bachelorette told EW that she just wanted the guys to have fun. "It's not about who's going to be the best Chippendales dancer or who reveals the most. In fact, I would prefer that they reveal less," she added with a laugh.

Prior to the performance, Pascal told EW that he had no qualms about strutting his stuff in front of a live audience. "I’m open for anything. I’m very comfortable about who I am," said the self-described "high-maintenance" Frenchman. "On top of it, it’s for cancer — so knowing that, I’m going to do my very best."

The Golden Bachelorette airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
