Join the Happy Vagina Project and Burlesque Queen Chérie Coquette for a new six-week workshop. Explore and unleash the power and wisdom of your inner sexpot personalities using simple dance moves, costume play, and fun.  

Inside every woman is combination of sensual personalities and archetypes. Together they are your inner sex pot. These personalities have different strengths and goals and their own unique set of guidance and support. The trouble is, for many women, most, if not all, of these personalities no longer have a voice on the committee that guides our inner knowing. You know, that committee in your head where fear, and confidence, work you, and mom you and all the other yous squabble over life decisions. Our society has shut down the full expression of female desires, and needs, as well as our connection to sensuality and the body. Feminine power and grace is inextricably linked with sexual and sensual power and grace. When we squash desire and sensuality we squash a core part of who we are - our feminine essence. In this way we are cut off from the power and the guidance of these archetypes and all they have to offer in supporting us to live our fullest life. 

Your inner wild woman, she's got things to say, places to guide you and wisdom to offer that can help you take charge of your life and your goals with no regrets. Your inner goddess, she's your wise woman, serene, calm and confident in what she deserves. She will help you to stop enduring what doesn't serve and ask for you what you need. Your inner tease and girl next door have equal measures of knowledge and power to share. Are you listening?

I know sometimes...

• feeling safe and sexy in our bodies is challenging
• connecting to our libido, our desire, our joy de vivre in the fray of life can feel like an uphill battle
• making time for you, and connecting with who you are is not always simple
• thinking of ourselves as "not sexy" or worrrying that we will make an ass of ourselves trying is all too common

What if... 

• you felt connected and comfortable in your body
• you could conjure your inner goddess or wild woman at will
• you could allow your libido, your desire and fire for life, to live awake and burning inside you
• you felt confident in your own unique version of sexuality
• you could give a lap dance with confidence
• you could live your life standing strong in the power and wisdom of all of these archetypes, and every other piece of yourself. 

YOUR INNER FEMININE IS WAITING FOR YOU TO HEAR HER

In this six week workshop we will explore and awaken our feminine essence by using burlesque dance and character development to unleash the girl next door, the femme fatale, the wild woman and the goddess within. Using classic dance moves, "peel" techniques and character play we will connect to and embody each of these sensual archetypes to wake them up and connect to  the power and strength they can each offer. 

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Each week will consist of...

• a dance warm up
• a lesson and guided meditation on the archetype for that week
• basic burlesque dance moves and costume play that relate to that archetype
• play time to choreograph, embody and experiment with each archetype
• reflection time 
• laughter, silliness, fun and a no expectations environment with 9 other amazing women
• an opportunity to dress up and play with costumes if you desire 

No dance experience is necessary to participate

All dance moves are challenge by choice. You can peel as much or as little as you like.
