Get a fresh perspective
Get some one-on-one time to focus on whatever it is you may currently be working towards. I pride myself on being able to see my students through a unique lens that allows me to help them approach tricks and movement in a myriad of ways they may not have considered before but that will allow them to unlock hidden potential. I love helping my students figure out nemesis moves, piece together routines for competitions and so much more!

T E A S E
One of the most important weapons in a stripper’s arsenal is the art of TEASE—driving your audience mad, convincing a man to hand over his rent check for just a little bit more. This Valentine’s weekend come learn a slinky, stripTEASE choreo you can take home to your significant other or to taunt the masses w on the socials. Stretchy fabrics are the MUST. Bring a second pair of panties, a pair of tights/pantyhose/thigh highs (not worn, just to use in choreo), bra that easily pulls off (i.e. no sports bras) and heels.
Erotica: Just the Tip
This unique workshop is the precursor to the full Erotica™ series, which focuses on guiding students towards uncovering their own sexual self-expression as it relates to movement and dance. Students are given a taste of a few of the Five Foundational Movements in addition to the Erotica™ methodology. To see a list of studios where the full series is being offered follow the link below.
Slither & Slink
Slink is a dynamic dance style that focuses on seamlessly blending both smooth and punctuated movements. In this 90-minute workshop students will learn basic heel work and beginning edgework around the pole while improving their balance and control in their movements. Students will learn a choreography to combine all elements that they will then have the opportunity to perform and record at the end of class. Suggested attire: sandal heels (avoid boots as they can reduce ankle range of motion) and outfits that bring out your inner Bad Bitch energy (thongs and pasties are permissible but not required). Get ready to slink and slay your way around the pole!
