This is not your conventional yoga workshop! Dancing in the Dark is an OPEN LEVEL dance format aimed toward helping you become more confident in your [sensual ] body & leaning into the impact of commanding a room with your presence as a mover, shaker & performer. We all have a unique alter ego with in us that tends to come out on occasion (often when no one is watching). Let’s give them the floor & find out a little more about they are! In this space we will learn about the art of dance and tease through delicious movement and creative expression (including a warm up, stretching, across the floor breakdowns, and dynamic movement combinations rooted in sensuality). This is a prime opportunity to unlock your sacral energy field by exploring passion, pleasure and playfulness! Dancing In The Dark is a safe & welcoming environment that encourages body positivity, non-censorship, intersectionality and inclusivity. With that you’re invited to dress in any attire that makes you feel empowered, sexy, and sensual (fishnets, booty shorts, lingerie, harnesses, thigh highs, an oversized t shirt, leggings etc). Let’s take up space, feed the fantasy & flirt with serving main course energy!

Teacher Bio:
An artist & creative first, Sam has always taken “the road less traveled” concerning her approach to teaching. She likes to think “teaching found her” as she initially hadn’t thought once about pursuing it until she received an opportunity in her early twenties to begin teaching dance for an after school program (over a decade ago). This experience sparked her curiosity to become a yoga practitioner turned instructor. While it took almost the entirety of her (yoga) teaching career- 8 years- to fully embrace her default to unconventionality, she’s recently found deep enjoyment through curating unique class sequences & workshops that empower others to express/experiment with their own individuality & authenticity. As a burlesque a dancer, singer/songwriter & producer with a background in Theatre; Sam innately gravitates toward incorporating mindfully curated playlists, thematic through lines and a hybrid of dance, yoga and sensual undertones into her classes.
