For those who have danced, we know that the dances we remember are the ones where we feel connected.

Think back and remember those moments when you were with that one person that you cared about more than anyone you’ve ever met. The person that made you forget about work, about life, and about the world around you; the best dances have this same feeling. It’s the same, intense relationship to the person standing across from you.

Dancing is much more than the steps: any good teacher can teach a dedicated student what the moves are. The best dancing is about “connection,” and just as in life, is something that can’t be faked.

4worldlovers:
We help women of all ages and fitness levels feel more feminine and confident through embodied movement in order to live a more turned-on, joyful and fully expressed life.


Like you are not enough unless you change your body in some way

As you listen to your body you’ll be more likely to:

Care for your body (like eating healthier food and getting more sleep)

Stay in environments that you’ve outgrown (like a job or relationship)

Moving slowly works deeper muscles rather than relying on momentum making this a better workout for strength training. Over time you will become stronger and more flexible than you ever thought possible no matter your age, size or fitness level!

A slow and sensual workout brings us back to the present moment and helps calm your nervous system, reducing anxiety and stress. Focusing on what your body is feeling also helps alleviate an overactive “monkey mind” and you become less reactive, more calm and loving over time.

Slowing down helps you become more aware of your senses and become more sensual (meaning you are more aware of your 5 senses - not just sexuality). When you heighten your experience of the senses, you feel more alive and more easily able to tune into what feels good to your body.

STEP 1 • Purchase and book your First Class. This is our ORIENTATION class (Virtual or in-Studio) for $15!

STEP 2 • Book a Discovery Session call with us so we can serve YOU in the best way.

STEP 3 • BECOME A MEMBER of our Community and fall in love with your body and your life!

Celebrate your next bachelorette, birthday, divorce party or girls night out with Sisters in Motion!

It’s a lot of fun, a little naughty and a great adventure.

Are looking for a fun, non-competitive workout that feels so good you can’t wait to come back!

Work in a male-dominated, high-power careers and feel they have to “man-up” to get ahead and feel disconnected from their femininity (ie. their sensuality, emotions, intuition, sexuality).

Want to connect with an incredible community of bad-ass and supportive women, creating deep friendships that last a lifetime.

Have recently gone through a life-changing event like a new baby, a divorce or break up, a move, or a loss of any kind and want to learn to express emotions in a new and empowered way.

We are dedicated to creating a space where we celebrate bodies of all ages, shapes, sizes, ethnicities – not just skinny, athletic, or dance experienced gals.

People who are NOT interested in cultivating the power of their feminine (yin, flow) energy

People looking to compete in pole competitions (we love our bad-ass, competitive sisters...it’s just not our focus!)

Women struggling with sexual trauma or abuse that has not been addressed with a therapist. Some of our students come to us on the recommendation of their therapist, but it is only after they are in a stable place in their healing process and are ready to reclaim their bodies and sexuality without being easily triggered or feeling unsafe in their body, then they are ready for our classes. Although our teachers are trauma informed, they are not therapists. We highly recommend you check with your mental health provider before you start any of our programs.
