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're joining us on 1st Sundays to experience JourneyDance and Burlesque, or on 3rd Sundays for JourneyDance only, these classes are designed to help you build Self Love -- not the Instagram kind, but the deep, rooted, unshakable kind 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!
1st & 3rd Sundays we JourneyDance at 11am.
JourneyDance is a sacred (but never serious) 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.
Think of it as 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—let’s throw a little dance party in it.
1st Sundays also include a drop-in Burlesque class at 1pm. Instructors and classes rotate and often feature guest instructors from Portland and beyond.
May 4th join Obscura Fox for Enchanting Isolations! In this workshop, we will delve deep into the realm of intentional movement through body isolations, guiding you to connect with your body in profound ways. Through a series of dynamic exercises and short choreography combos, you will discover the power of deliberate motion. Our focus on refined movements will unlock a whole new realm of expression.
Prepare to decipher the secrets of isolating different parts of your body, allowing you to create mesmerizing and fluid movements. From head rolls to chest pops, hip isolations to shoulder shimmies, you'll learn how to move with precision and fluidity, commanding attention with every nuanced movement. We'll explore how to channel your energy and focus into each movement, allowing you to express yourself authentically and connect with your inner rhythm.
Adjustments and modifications can be given for mobility and experience levels. 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 to celebrate their sensuality, power and joy in our classes.
This is your protected space for all parts of yourself to be heard and welcomed. Moving Limiting Beliefs out of your body, tuning into messages that it's time to rest, set boundaries or celebrate wildly, exploring new movement and expression to live in power, pleasure, joy and resilience.
Let's Dance!

High Priestess
Though I'm known as the High Priestess of Tease, I'm a champagne glass half full broad who also loves to please. Whether it be through BodyMagick Burlesque classes and performances, or guiding women into their power through dance ritual, I bring Bling & Blessings wherever I go!
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.
Obscura Fox
The Unseelie Queer of Scare-Rousal
I am a mesmerizing force, weaving together decades of experience and deep-rooted cultural rhythms. With over a decade of experience in American Fusion Bellydance, I bring a unique blend of movement to the stage, seamlessly weaving in my Caribbean heritage's rich, soulful rhythms.
My work is a spellbinding fusion of dark, mysterious, and sensual artistry. As a first-generation Bajan-American, dark-skinned, fat, queer, femme, I embody powerful authenticity, and my performances captivate with an alluring mix of mystery and magic.
In addition to dancing, I am a producer (Umbrae Noctis & JamBallah) and movement instructor, and have just begun service as a Board member at The Burlesque Hall of Fame.
