Good Gyrrl specializes in teaching women self-confidence through the empowering art of exotic fitness. We provide a full curriculum of exotic dance and aerobics classes for women, in the comfort of women of all ages (over 21), sizes and nationalities. We also feature master classes and specialty workshops that supplement our sensuality training course load and are taught by other industry experts (e.g. bellydancers, romance coaches, and authors, etc.). All classes are fun, non-threatening, non-intimidating and teach women to release their inner inhibitions and express themselves sensually within a supportive environment. Good Gyrrl classes are available in the dance studio or on location (in home or another venue of choice).
The Name & Philosophy
The name Good Gyrrl, refers to the notion that certain behaviors (particularly exotic dance) are only for “bad girls.” This is not true! Ordinary women (executives, housewives, mothers) can still be “ladies in the streets and vixens between the sheets.” Because they do not understand the power that they truly possess, good girls get a bad reputation. The name Good Gyrrl was chosen to show people (especially “good girls”) that being bad is not a bad thing and that being good does not mean that you can not be bad. What it means is that good girls are simply good at everything…including being bad!
The Mission
To promote fitness in a fun way.
To teach techniques that will help keep things spicy and entertaining at home.
To help women become comfortable in their own skin—to understand and embrace their sensuality and their sexuality and be comfortable with projecting it when necessary.
To help women better understand exotic dance as an artform—and to understand that sensuality training involves more than dancing sexy.
Reality Check: “Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 Killer of women of all ethnic backgrounds (and all American women). African American women are at greater risk than any other ethnic group, yet they are less likely than white women to know that they may have major risk factors. Diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, physical inactivity, overweight/obesity and family history of heart disease are all greatly prevalent among African Americans and are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including stroke. Fewer than half of African American women (41%) consider themselves well informed about cardiovascular disease.*”
