Description

Ever passed by a group of women in a pole dancing class and thought, “That looks fun…but I could never do that!”  This episode’s for you.

We reflect on our journey with dance and the powerful lessons that this practice has taught us. From playing with intuitive movement and attending ecstatic dance classes in Bali to stepping into our first choreographed exotic dance class, we discuss:

• How we got into pole and exotic dancing and what it means to us
• Utilizing playful energy as a gateway to sensuality
• Shifting away from shame, comparison, and concern for “how it looks”
• What comes up when you’re in a space with other women and sensual energy
• The connection between building self trust and pole dancing
• The interplay of softness & the strength
• How to hold confidence in your body (even when you’re just walking to the mailbox or in the grocery store)
• How to be okay with failure
• The connection between dance, vulnerability, and intimacy

Go check out some local exotic or pole dance classes in your area and let us know how it goes!

And if you're in Denver, CO – we’ll be hosting our half-day retreat, The Liberated Woman on Saturday, August 27th.

This retreat is very much inspired by what erotic dance has taught us: confidence, releasing shame, and reclaiming liberation to become embodied women.

We’ll be using cacao, meditation, sensual movement, embodiment, and dance to guide you in processing your emotions and bringing your entire system into a new way of being.
