1st Sunday Classes
Dance Your Heart Open
Move your body and dance your heart open!
Slow down, soften and reconnect with the most magnetic radiant version of you.
Whether you want an uplifting JourneyDance, saucy BodyMagick Burlesque — or both! — these classes are designed to help you build deep rooted, unshakable Self Love that lives in your bones.
We dance to awaken pleasure, cultivate confidence and reconnect with our intuition and learn to trust our bodies -- not for performance, but for presence.
Sensuality here isn't about looking a certain way. It's about feeling fully, honoring all of your body and your emotions.
No dance experience needed, no pressure to "get it right." Just an invitation to be held, witnessed and celebrated as you are.
These classes are for you if you’re ready to:
💗 Deepen your relationship with your body
🔥 Awaken your inner confidence and sensual fire
🌹 Move through shame and into radical self-love
🌊 Reclaim your softness, strength, and sacred rhythm
✨ Trust yourself more — on the dance floor and in life
This is your permission slip to move, feel, and bloom!
JourneyDance is a sacred space to remember the wisdom of your body and the joy of simply being alive. Through intuitive movement, breath, rhythm, and a touch of wild magic, we invite the body to guide, release, and reveal.
This is soul play. A chance to shake loose what’s stuck, expand your emotional capacity, and come home to yourself in the most delicious way. There's no right or wrong here, just movement that feels true. One moment you might be grounding into deep stillness, the next you're spinning like a kid high on life.
Come ready to sweat, laugh, maybe cry (the good kind), and leave with a deeper connection to your body, your spirit, and the present moment. Your body is your temple and we're throwing a dance party for you
Burlesque Instructors and classes rotate among local and traveling performers. Bringing saucy movement and sassy technique to bump up your bliss on and off stage. Our classes are multi-level, suitable for experienced performers, newcomers and those who want to explore new ways of sensual expression.
Adjustments and modifications can be given for mobility and experience levels in all classes. Please contact us if you have any questions or desire modifications and we'll do our best to work with you. All skill levels, backgrounds and gender identities are welcome in our classes.

Your Instructors
Eva D'Luscious
High Priestess
I'm a champagne glass half full broad who also loves to please.
Since 2010 I've performed Burlesque, adding producer, MC and instructor in the following years.
I've been a Certified JourneyDance Guide since 2020, and added Facilitator Level in 2023. I'm honored to hold space for you to tune into your body and build trust with your own wisdom and power.
I'm known for putting students at ease and instigating a love of all things sparkly, uniting and uplifting through joyful movement. I've supported many people in revealing their sparkly selves, welcoming beginners and experienced dancers to my classes.
Sara James
The DARE in DERRIERE
I'm drawn to the glitz, glamor, and sensual empowerment of performance, and I'm known for my silky moves and have been called a timeless beauty.
But these arms do more than just take off clothes! In addition to aerial + burlesque performance and producing, I'm an aerial dancer and coach specializing in trapeze, silks, lollipop, and pole, with a strong emphasis on accessibility and creativity for all levels and abilities.
I'm no stranger to the stage, having performed for thousands in stadiums as well as in more intimate venues.
You can catch me regularly lighting up local productions like Jack London Burly Q Revue, Sinferno Cabaret, and many other saucy stages.
