Move that ass; it’s Booty Month! We’re getting into our summer groove with twerk moves and sexy workshops and series, all while preparing for our Summer Student Showcase!
It’s Booty Month at CED!
Each month at Cleveland Eclectic Dance, we focus on a different skill, style of dance, or body part in all of regular classes. This month at CED, it’s all about that booty.
In all of your classes this month we will include some kind of booty work. You will work on twerk moves in most of your pole and flow classes. In our fitness classes, there will be a focus on strengthening while also learning how to make your booty quake.
Upcoming Specialty Classes & Series
Striptease Basics: Undress for any Occasion
Thursdays, May 2nd-23rd 6:15-7:15pmpm
In Studio Only
We’ll go beyond learning a cookie cutter striptease routine during this four week series, and will work towards feeling prepared and confident to perform an impromptu striptease wearing whatever you already have on.
During this class you will learn erotic dance basics, posing, and formulas for clothing removal. We will put this all together into a loose routine you can take home, as well as working towards taking off your clothes with confidence on a daily basis. Our big goal for the end of the series is for you to realize just how sexy you already are, and what a gift you are already giving to anyone you undress for.
For the first class, please wear comfortable clothes that you can move easily in. If you are already confident in heels, please do bring a pair, but they are not a requirement.
This class is $50 for all four weeks, and is included on all Dance & Fitness Flex Passes and Unlimited Passes.

Add Acrobatic Chair Dance to your aerial repertoire in this 90 minute introductory class!

Leggings are required for class, and knee pads are recommended if you have them. Please feel free to bring heels if you are already comfortable in them. There will be an opportunity to try out the flow in heels at the end of class.
Space in this class is extremely limited so that the instructor can give students adequate attention and spotting during tricks.

Grounded Lyra Flow (Hoop-walking)
Thursday, May 30th 6:00-7:15pm
In Studio Only
Grounded Lyra Flow (“hoopwalking”) is a curiosity-driven style of movement Tasha is passionate about developing. Unlike most lyra moves, this practice typically involves keeping a foot on the ground.
Hoopwalking is a great way to add dimension to choreography, catch your breath during a long flow, and keep playing with the lyra while giving some upper-body muscles a break.
In this workshop we’ll discuss safety practices of handling the hoop this way, dance and movement philosophies Tasha has found useful, and learn grounded moves for you to implement in your own lyra practice.
This class is open to all levels.
Please wear form fitting fitness pants, tops or leotards.
This class if $30 per person.
