🌈🏳️‍⚧️ For all women and all LGBTQ bodies🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🌏YOU are welcome as you are. You don't have to be skinny or feminine or strong or anything else to have fun and feel sexy! No experience needed.

In a world that says pleasure is pointless and our bodies are for producing results, profit, or carrying our brains around, come spend a day in the radical act of loving your body exactly the way you are, right now.

💖What if you could move your body to music in new ways, that expanded both your physical self-expression and your relationship to your erotic self?

🎶We focus on floorwork, walking, standing, crawling, mind-body connection, organic movement, improvisation, authenticity, building confidence, and intentionality. Bring your questions, goals, concerns, curiosity, and desires!

This workshop is open to all levels.

If you have taken the shorter version in the past you are especially encouraged to attend. A section of time will be set aside to address your custom wants and needs.

💞 This class is Limited to 24 students to ensure personal attention, space, and time!!!

❤️‍🔥Connect your sensual heart to your body by moving in new ways to inspiring music. We practice allowing ourselves to find our inner sensual being, gaining confidence and movement vocabulary. Flexibility, strength, and musicality are all taught in an indirect way, while we focus on your body's desires for movement and expression. Awaken new sides of your sensual self through movement and musicality in this slow and welcoming format. Suitable for all levels and abilities.

✨This is a body positive, safe, welcoming environment.

In the expanded day-long version of this workshop, in addition to everything above, we will also cover:

1. education on stretching and caring for your body in your regular life
2. extra focus on improvisation, and strengthening the mind body connection that allows us to be fully present in our dancing
3. addressing mental blocks that interrupt our musicality or take us away from the pleasure of our body in motion
4. how to stay fluid and in the zone while removing outer layers of clothing during movement (such as sweats or t shirts)

🎒 Info for attending:

🚪 Doors open at 10:10am. Introductions start at 10:30pm. Doors close after opening circle, approximately 11am.

👣 Be prepared to be barefoot. Socks optional.

💦 BRING a bottle of water for yourself. Yes there is a refill station. If you would like to take notes, please bring your preferred materials for that.

👕 WEAR LAYERS of clothes you feel good in, that stretch and move with your body, and that help you connect with your sensual energy. How we dress affects how we feel in our bodies.

"Stripping" is NEVER required. Nudity is NOT allowed. AND wearing clothes that YOU feel sexy in (whatever that is for you) will make a big difference.

As we warm up our bodies, booty shorts, boykini bottoms, wrestling shorts, bikini tops, sports bras, crop tops, etc. are all good options for those who feel comfortable. DO wear at least two layers over your crotch at all times, i.e. underwear and a second layer (or not-flimsy swimwear with two layers built-in is also great).
