sounds like a handful from a "stripper class." a few of my girls and i attended their intro class today, and i can honestly attest that i came out feeling 10x more confident than i have ever felt in my life. the experience was surprisingly invigorating, as well as nerve-wracking cuz i'm normally such a reserved person, with a refreshing element of fun! they cater such a comfortable and non-judgemental aura that facilitates the breaking of any boundaries you may have up. and just the unconscious and natural movements your body applies brings a sense of empowerment, harboring an increased confidence in your own skin. it was absolutely amazing. i signed up for their Level I course [;
