SF: Erotic Movement (by Click Your Heels)

ALL bodies, ALL genders, all orientations, all ages, all ethnicities! YOU are welcome as you are. If you've ever thought sensual dancing looked fun and you want to try, this is your chance! You don't have to be skinny or feminine to have fun and feel sexy! No experience needed!

Erotic Movement is all the amazing sensuous movement used by pole dancers between tricks, burlesque/boylesque performers, pop stars, and go-go dancers everywhere! It is easily adapted to express your personal style, your mood, any type of music, and any body.

We focus on rhythm, floor work, improvisation, personal expression, building confidence, and intentionality. Bring your questions, goals, concerns, curiosity, and desires!

This is a body-positive, sex-positive, safe, welcoming, environment. Class is two hours long, including warm up and cool down, dancing and talking

Info for Students:

Be prepared to dance barefoot. (No shoes are allowed in the studio space.) Please bring a bottle of water for yourself. If you would like to take notes, please bring your preferred materials for that but it's not necessary - if you just want to move and listen, that's ok too.

Wear layers of clothes you feel good in, that stretch and move with your body. "Stripping" is NOT required however clothes that you feel sexy in make a big difference. After we're warmed up, booty shorts, boykini bottoms, Speedos, wrestling shorts, bikini tops, bras, crop tops, etc. all are good options for those who feel comfortable.

We offer a sliding scale, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance.

The regular ticket is $25. This is what most people should pay.

The $15 ticket is offered for those for whom the $25 ticket would be a barrier to participation. If $25 is too much, we take your word for it! Just pay $15.

Have a great salary? Feeling generous? Paying at the $35 level allows us to make the discounted ticketing available to others who need it. :)

So - that's it! Choose the level you can comfortably afford.

If cost is a barrier at any point on the sliding scale, please use the Volunteer List at the bottom of the listing to request a scholarship seat.
