Farwell Bay Area

On Friday the 13th, of November… nine of us gathered at our home studio - Atomic Allure - for a last dance #untilwemeetagain With so many of us transitioning out of the Bay Area right now, it was so incredible to have this evening together. So grateful for Donna Jane for allowing us to be in the space and Chelsea for the leading the warm-up and Suguey for teaching a super fun choreo place. We laughed, cried, heel clacked, and hair whipped. I am forever changed because of this room and the people in it. Feeling full and loved.

Save our Safe Space!

Dear friends and family,

Please consider donating to my home dance studio, Atomic Allure.

If the Covid-19 pandemic and the movement for the liberation for Black lives have taught us anything it is that a safe community is one that comes together, a loving community is one that protects each other and an intact community is one that supports one another.  With the continued closures and no definite open date set by Alameda County, we are in need of your help to sustain our community safe space. We are raising funds to cover the bare essentials of rent and insurance through our closure. Through the past few months, we have offered free and donation-based classes with all the proceeds going to our instructors to help with living expenses. We are hoping we can open our doors soon as we know the energy in the space and dance and movement are therapy and essential right now as we fight for real change in our community and nation.  Anything you can give will help or if you are unable to give, sharing the link to show support.  We will continue to do whatever we can, applying for aid, offering free classes, support groups, and whatever else we need to keep our community together.  Anything you contribute will not only be held in so much gratitude but will ensure that once we can gather again we will have a location to return to. 

In deep love and solidarity, 
Atomic Allure

An Overdue Update : The Bay and the Virtual World

In late September of 2019, I moved back to the SF Bay Area. Immediately, I began teaching at my home studio, Atomic Allure. I’m so grateful to have a space that still feels like home, even after being gone for a year. In September, I introduced a new class called “Vertical Barre Vixen,” fusing two of my favorite forms of fitness - barre and pole. The two complement each other very well, creating a mind/body connection and fine-tuned conditioning. We also work on pole climbs and descending pole passes, typically on spin.

And then came COVID19 and shelter-in-place was mandated for all of the SF Bay Area. My class has since morphed into “Virtual Barre Vixen,” starting March 2020. While we are not in the same room physically, the connection, community, and good vibes are still felt. It has been such a source of joy to work with students throughout quarantine! I’m continuously amazed at everyone’s grit, commitment and consistency.

Starting this month, May 2020, I am adding a series called “Pole Elements,” where we will explore foundational moves through the different elements of nature - earth, water, air, and wind. I am excited to explore new themes and continue our practice together, even if we are currently far apart.
