Show photos!

Hi! Here are a pile of photos from my floorwork set that if I post on IG I will likely get deleted for 😂 they are by Veronica Bonderud. She is crazy talented. Enjoy!

The Grit video

Hi y’all, I was going to post it but then Vimeo was glitching and then I forgot and now it’s a million years later. Here’s the floorwork performance from Glamour and Grit! Song is Tonight by Black Atlass

“Nude”

Hi friends!

I have received the footage from Cherry On Top’s Glamour and Grit showcase and I’d like to share it with you. It’s been a long time since I’ve shared a burlesque video and I’m really pleased with how the act went. I can nitpick a few things in the details of the technical side of the performance but overall, I think t...

Hello, once again

Thank you for hanging out while I’ve mostly existed and worked on settling into what feels like a whole new existence over the past couple of years. I have a bunch of photos from an end of summer shoot I did with Sarah England of Peach Dreams Boudoir, and this seems like the best place to share them at the moment!

I recently ...

Retro Strip Show footage

Hi friends!

Here is my performance from Retro Strip Show ❤️

Password: sweetstripperjesus

Also, I’m going to make a tutorial video! I’m thinking the Titanic. Open to requests, though!

Livestream Retro Strip Show!

Hi friends! If you aren’t coming in person to the show, you can livestream the event with us this Sunday. I am so stoked for it, the band sounds amazing, singers are rad, dancers are my favs, and I have been prepping for months.

Because you are so supportive I have a couple price tier options for you that aren’t full price.<...

20 (ish) minute targeted leg and core work video!

Hi!

As I failed to record the whole movement session, here is a recording guide for the first part of the work, which is a lot of the more challenging stuff. Use it on the days where you don’t have time to block off an hour and want something efficient to get your body firing, or use it as a warm up before stretching, or active muscle r...

Recording from movement time on Sunday

Hi friends! Okay, full disclaimer, I messed up and missed the first 20 minutes of recording. So, as soon as I’m back in town I am going to make a 20/25 minute leg, back, and abs focused video recording to cover the exercises that are missing from this video. You will have it on Friday! It will also be a great “get some movement in” length ...

Zoom link! See you Sunday!

Here is your link to the livestream! Let me know if you have any requests or injuries you’d like to be mindful of or to work on rehabbing (or both) either by commenting here or private messaging me, or by telling me in the class. It will be about an hour long, maybe a few minutes extra so we have ample stretch time at the end. Make sure you ha...

Sunday Movement Time

Hi friends!

I’m running a zoom movement class this Sunday as a trial for a monthly group class. I polled my IG but not everyone who responded is on here so I want to check with you also.

Does 1 pm work for you? Or would you prefer it later? There will be recordings saved for you to download.

Zoom link to follow! It will be...

A thank you treat

Hi! It’s been ages, I know.

Firstly- I am *for real* going to do a Titanic tutorial for all you pole friends.

Secondly- My sincere gratitude for sticking around while I’ve been absent. I’ve gone through a lot of changes in the past year (or several) and my focus went to recharging and restoring for a lot longer than I expected....

Conditioning Overview

Hi friends!

I had a couple requests to make a post about conditioning and also hip mobility/openers and luckily enough, my conditioning routine has a good chunk of hip stability (because that’s where the mobility comes from) and openers involved.

This is a 45 ish long video where I demo different movements and tell you ...

Jade Split!

Here is a jade split tutorial! Specifically, a butt shelf jade split.

You need a solid outside leg hang for this move.

Invert to your outside leg hang. Don’t forget to squeeze the heck out of the pole into your body with your tricep/arm, it is very key. When you have this contact point into the side of your body, it makes it very ...

Pole Acquired!

Dear friends,

Thank you so much for your patience as I waited for Platinum Stqfes and then X Pole to rectify their error and send me a pole that I could use. It took three months but now we are here.

I have had tutorial requests and I’m adding to the list! Please comment and let me know what you would like to see. It can be pole, ...

Floor spin tutorial!

Two spins for your floor work fun times. A butt spin and a side hip spin. These are really dynamic and super fun to incorporate into choreography, and they aren’t terribly difficult, either!

Here is a link to a choreography I made for a level one floor work class. I do include a knee spin as well, which I don’t cover in the video beca...

A performance video + thoughts on performing with limitations

Hello, my friends! I am officially dancing again, and it very much looks like I’m going to be able to avoid surgery which feels nothing short of miraculous given the chronic pain and immobility I went through in the late summer and into December. I am extremely grateful.

I have half of one of my shows I did on Thursday to shar...

Hip stabilizers

Hello!

Here is a movement series taught to me by my physiotherapist. The focus is on stabilizing the femur within the hip socket, which helps to reduce cartilage wear and tear during all the wild range of motion things we do with our bodies!

You will need a long resistance band that you can either make into a loop, or already has l...

Hello friends

Thank you for bearing with me during this weird time.

While I wait for hip surgery, I have decided to start making short movement instruction videos focused around conditioning and stretching different muscle groups. Videos will be around 15 minutes, maybe a little less, maybe a little more, depending.

After my surgery (...

Updqte

Hi all

So, some of you are connected to me on my social media accounts and got the update yesterday but not everyone is, so here it is:

My hip has a labral tear and AVN of the femoral head. Potentially some other stuff but we need more tests. Basically, my blood supply to my bone has been compromised due to the tear in my cartilage a...

A club video!

Hi all,

First off, apologies, I meant to delay charging on this month as well but I have been massively adjusting to having a job again and the energy it takes to do said job!

I’m not sure what I’m going to be posting on here in the future. My body is pretty taxed with work, and I’ve been dealing with my hip flexor injury bein...

Movement Time Recording

Hello! While my billing cycle is paused for the month, here is June's Movement Time. You can download it so you'll have it with you wherever you are, or you can stream through here.

Once I have a work schedule I can anticipate, I will likely do weekly streams for warm ups and body care (think rolling out and gentle stretching), so I thin...

Paused for July

Hello, nice human beings <3

I'm pausing the billing cycle for July. I'm having a little recharge, a refocus, and apparently the club is opening again on July 8th, so it'll be a readjustment, too!

I will be back!

Take care, and please keep as cool as possible in the heat wave if you're in the PNW.

Tiny break

Hi friends,

Thank you for your patience. My bird passed away and I am grieving pretty thoroughly. I am trying to do as much movement as possible but I am very focused inward right now and might not have a new video for a week or so. I will process these feelings and come back when I feel able to connect again. I will also likely record so...

Movement Time- On the splits side

Hello! Here is last week's recording. It is geared a bit more towards splits than upper body flexibility.

I will be doing one more live session this Saturday, and then I will be moving towards creating mini conditioning and tutorial videos, as my in person teaching schedule has ramped up again.

If there are any requests you have,...

Fish Flop Tutorial

Hello!

Here is the elusive fish flop!

What you should be comfortable with before attempting this advanced level move:

Scorpion roll, shoulder stand (legs straight) and ability to roll out of shoulder stand through chest stand position.

Key muscles to condition beforehand:

Abs- five minutes

Glutes- ...

Headstand tutorial request!

Conditioning: triceps, core, straddle.

Push-ups, planks, pikes, toe taps, etc! And be sure to not overdo it too many times. It it’s a lot of load on the neck. I’d say three attempts in one day is a good number! And do this against a wall if this is a new skill.

Have fun!

Floor combo

Hello!

So, building some skills together: shoulder stand after shoulder roll/scorpion roll. When you get to the point where you can solidly lift your legs, your exit has two options- rolling over your back and shoulders, or rolling over your belly in a half fish flop. This is a really safe way to start exploring the technique of a fish flo...

Have any floor work requests? I’m here to help!

Don’t forget to warm up!
