BE Movement

Balance Elemental (BE) Movement was developed to provide a safety based fitness system focused on the natural elements (Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, Fire) with personal support for students to release their inhibitions and body bound emotions through the development of their own individual dance style using the vertical pole and sensual somatic dance movements.  

I currently offer ONLINE LESSONS to help students develop their exotic dance skills in private at their own pace as well as provide feedback and encouragement through email or scheduled chat session.  My classes provide the student with an entire exotic dancing training system or simply complement your current local dance training with additional tricks, variations, and modifications.

I offer private sessions, semi-private sessions, workshops, and parties in both pole and exotic dance fused with one of the five elements to cultivate whole body balance.

Classes are progressive, focused in one of the five (5) elements, and consist of sensual whole body movements to warm up the body and create a calm, sensual atmosphere as well as a guided meditation to activate the elemental attributes and release any associated body bound emotions.  Students will be presented with nice (PG rated) and naughty (R rated) movements and modifications for personal expression at their level of comfort.  Each class will also include the required strengthening exercises, level specific pole tricks and sensual somatic dance movements (ie transitions, floor work, or wall work).
