DANCE AGAIN

Picture this…

I’m making dinner. What am I making? I don’t remember. That’s not the point.

I’ve got some new dance tracks on and I find myself choreographing and dancing around the kitchen. I’m pulling out some double pirouettes, attitude turns, balances, hip circles etc. while holding a spatula.

I’m immediately transported back to my dance training glory days when I would be at the studio for hours a day after school, several days a week. Then I’m back in college, where after I’m done studying for my finance mid-terms, I’m at the gym choreographing for my dance club till the wee hours of the morning. And then it hits me. I want to…

DANCE AGAIN!

Once I began doing burlesque full time about 18 years ago, my dance training took a back seat to my performances, travels, teaching, studio ownership, dance company direction, etc. Yes, I was still dancing, but every dancer knows that training is KEY! So, let’s DANCE AGAIN!

This class is for dancers who used to dance. If you get it, you get it. This is for anyone who has a basic knowledge of dance and jazz technique. Class will include a warm up, technique and a fun combination that is sure to make you smile.

My first class will be November 21st, 12-1pm PST, on Zoom. All you need to do to register is send $15 via Venmo or PayPal. I will then send you the Zoom link.

Get ready to DANCE AGAIN!

And PS…dinner was delicious!

Fear No More

We have been taught to fear the erotic. – Audre Lorde


As women, we possess erotic power. It is a power that has been weaponized against us and a power that we have been taught to fear. We have a limitless resource of strength dwelling within us that is yearning to be expressed.


The world is suffering from a lack of divine femininity. The world needs US. The world needs YOU. Let’s do this together!


In my new class, *P* CONFIDENCE, we not only learn how to CONNECT to our inner power, but to TRUST it as well.


Over the past 8 weeks, I have seen my students flirt with freedom and even EMBRACE freedom. When they remove the layers of doubt, fear, judgment, shame and expectation, I see them become lighter and STRONGER before my eyes. I have witnessed them step into their vulnerability, strength, power, and CONFIDENCE. I have also seen an incredible group of women come together to CHAMPION each other and SUPPORT each other on this journey. It has been beautiful to watch and I want to share this with you.

Here’s what one of my students said:

‘ …something is different. I am carrying myself with a different energy and a new found sense of pride….I exert less energy throughout the day…because I am accessing my inner power rather than trying to seek/obtain it.’

-Stephanie – *P* Confident alumna 

Join me for an 8 week movement and lecture series that will CHANGE YOUR LIFE! Class begins on October 25th and runs through December 13th. All classes will be held on Zoom and will be recorded if you have to miss a day.


If you are feeling scared or nervous, that is GOOD! Use that fear in a productive way and REGISTER to make a change today!

Strong Womxn

There are many kinds of power, used and unused, acknowledged or otherwise. The erotic is a resource within each of us that lies in a deeply female and spiritual plane, firmly rooted in the power of our unexpressed or unrecognized feeling.

-Audre Lorde: Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power

New Session begins October 25


Do you want to feel more grounded in your life? Do you want to feel more supported in a community? Do you want to connect to your divine femininity? If the answer is yes, then P U S S Y Confidence is for you!

I taught my first P U S S Y Confidence class back in 2014 when I saw the need arise for it in the burlesque world. Immediately, after that first class, I knew this was something for ALL womxn, not just those interested in being on stage. So I began to develop these ideas and concepts over the years and have worked deeply on myself to take these lessons to heart. And now, I’m so excited to present another offering of this 8 week online course!

Connecting to your power is essential right now. The world is topsy turvy and we have lost our way. The world has dimmed the light of femininity, only to exploit it for capitalism and selfish reasons. Well, I’m here to tell you that the power that you desperately crave is within you! We just need to peel back the layers to access it in a spiritual striptease.

Over the years, 18ish to be exact-ish, I have worked hard to bring authenticity to the stage. Not only have I removed many physical layers of clothing, I also had to remove the layers of doubt, fear, judgment, expectation, hate, shame and apology. I want to lighten your burden. You don’t have to carry this weight any more. Instead, I want you to be layered with love, acceptance, generosity, confidence, power, vulnerability and strength.

I want to live in a world where the phrase ‘strong woman’ is redundant. We are strong. We are powerful. We are dangerous. It is time to connect to our power. To plug in and flip that switch. The world needs us. The world needs you. YOU need YOU.

If you feel a spark of nerves and excitement even thinking about your power potential, then join me for P U S S Y Confidence starting October 25th through December 13th. We will meet every Sunday 11am-1pm PST. All sessions will be recorded so you won’t miss a thing if you can’t make it one day. We will also have optional Happy Hours on Wednesdays to get to know each other better and have informal discussions. And you will also gain access to our private FB community, where womxn from all over the world support each other and share in their challenges and their triumphs. 


All classes will feature a presentation, a centering practice and a sensual movement portion. There is absolutely no experience necessary. 

Space is limited. Register by Oct 18th for a $50 discount.

Looking forward to partnering with you on this path of empowerment and P U S S Y Confidence!
