    Twerk is not isolated to a certain race, age or gender

    Bring that ass to class & I’ll show you how to Twerk 🙂

  • “If you have a crack, you can make it clap” – FiyaStarta

    aka Guys can twerk too!!! Come to class & I will show you how 🙂

  • Classes are small to provide an intimate & comfortable setting for everyone. If a class setting does not work for you, please contact me to inquire about alternative options (ex. private home lessons, private virtual sssions, etc)

  • The goal is for you to be comfortable! Wear whatever makes you feel free to dance like no one is watching

    For Twerk purposes, wear busy print bottoms (leggings, shorts, sweats). Try not to wear black or solid color tight bottoms if possible. Let your booty cheeks breathe 🙂

    Knee pads are optional, but highly recommended. We may be doing some twerks on the floor, so I want everyone to be protected & safe

    You can wear heels if they make you feel like your best you. I will not. I look like a baby deer in them, but do you, boo

    What I will be wearing is:

    • busy print shorts

    • fishnet tights (possibly)

    • knee pads

    • knee high socks

    • boots/sneakers

  • Luckily for you I’m not good at choreo either 🙂

    Classes are more freestyle. Choreo is usually based on the type of music that is being played. The type of music I play depends on my mood & the mood of the students for the day

    When you go out dancing you do not know what song will be played, so you freestyle in public. We will do the same in class

  • What a coincidence! So do I!

    Everyone’s privacy & bodies are respected in my class. Those who know me know I don’t play. If you do not want to be recorded, you will not be. Everyone’s safety & privacy is my priority

  • Any google search will show you plenty of people with a similar body type to you twerking successfully. No excuses

    The only thing required to twerk is an open mind, a positive attitude & a crack. That is all you need. I will help you with the rest

  • It depends! Classes can be held at various pole studios, dance studios, private rental spaces, homes & other locations, depending on availability of the space

    I do not have a dedicated location. This allows me to be flexible with my locations so I can be closer to those who are interested in taking classes. It also helps me to decrease my overhead costs so that I may pass those savings on to you 🙂

    Upcoming classes may be posted on this site, as well as on social media, via email & through texts for those who sign up for notifications

  • That depends! The type of twerking that we are doing, how much you participate in class & how much you weigh will determine how many calories you burn

    The more you weigh = the more calories you are able to burn

    One of my clients told me that her fitness watch said she burned 350 calories during her 60 minutes Twerk Boot-Y Camp!!!

  • Another coincidence… my cardio is awful too! Coming to Twerk Boot-Y Camp should help improve your cardio, but cardio is not required to take a class. It is mostly self paced, and everyone is allowed and encouraged to take breaks when needed

  • First, twerking only looks easy when someone who knows how to do it well is doing it. It takes a lot of practice to make difficult things look easy. Trust me. I am still learning different twerk techniques myself, & it is wayyyyyyyy harder than it looks.

    At the end of the day you can do whatever you want. I have seen plenty of people shake their hips side to side or move their chest some way & call it twerking. If you are happy with that, I am happy for you 🙂 . If you like it, I LOVE it :)

    If you want to improve your current twerk skills and avoid injury, come to Twerk Boot-Y Camp & I can help you.

  • The goal of Twerk Boot-Y Camp is for you to feel comfortable in the skin you are in & the body that you were born with & find a unique movement that only your body can create

    In this day and age we are too obsessed with every roll, dent, ding, dimple, cellulite, ripple, etc on our bodies. We want to look like unrealistic versions of what celebrities on social media look like, without acknowledging that we are amazing the way that we are

    Example: there is a certain type of twerk that looks A-MA-ZING on you if you have cellulite. Which one? Come to class & I’ll show you 🙂

    In Twerk Boot-Y Camp I hope to help all of you realize the amazing capabilities that your bodies possess & how all of those rolls, dents, dings, dimples, cellulite, ripples, etc are magical & make our dance movement uniquely ours
