A PEak Into class:
Join Pussy Empowered Dance: Performance CLASS
In community, you will feel supported on your journey of getting performance ready! Over the course of this series, we will prepare mind, body, and spirit for a group performance.
But rather than memorizing choreography, the focus of this experience is to tap into your authentic embodiment and expression.
Together we will create a playground of exploration. We will listen to how our bodies want to move, practice allowing ourselves to take up space and let ourselves be witnessed. We will also learn a Pussy Empowered Choreography that will invite you into a collective experience as we play with embodied affirmations that anchor you into your power.
In celebration of this journey, you will then have the opportunity to perform in front of an audience of paradigm shifting, intentional, supportive movers and shakers in the Pussy Empowered Community alongside some of LA’s most in demand performers at the next Pussy Empowered PARTY on Saturday, June 22nd at Haus of Ghetto Stiletto.
All levels welcome. All genders welcome.
What will We cover?
This course will include lessons on:
Taking Pussy Power out of theory and into the body in real time
Surrendering to Being: Cultivating presence and self nourishment through sensuality
Untaming Your Wild Hips: Liberating your curves and dancing from your Pussy
Parading Your Power: Expressing yourself unapologetically while getting comfortable being witnessed.

“Pussy Powah” is a celebration of all the dynamic sides of Pussy Power and womanhood. The theme for this performance was Intergalactic Boss Bitch
“I’m That Girl” is about rooting into our confidence unapologetically
“Attention” is about healing our relationship with taking up space and expressing ourselves freely.
Moments From Class:
Client Experiences:
“It's a series that's changed my life and is moving me closer in alignment to what I want for myself and my community in this world. I mean, it's not just the dancing, it's so so so much more than that. And I don't think people realize how important this type of work/play is. You know, it's joyful, work on ourselves. And it's tantamount to more magic in this world and change for the better”
– Kimberly, Founder of Sensual Alchemy
“One of the most liberating experiences of my life.
No matter what we came in the room with, how heavy our emotions were, how happy we were, how slow as molasses we felt, Alyssa just held space for us. She accepted us. She created this space where we were able to be with like minded goddesses and its just so liberating to come together and have Spice Girls fun, no judgment.”
-Moonflower, DJ, Author, Healer
“I feel me. I feel the most empowered I’ve ever felt. I'm feeling the most in love with myself I've ever been.”
– Caroline
“It unlocked so much for me spiritually, emotionally, physically.”
-Danellia, Multidimensional Mami, Artist, Birth Worker, Embodiment Guide
“I was ready to go, I was feeling myself. I was eating up all the attention and eye contact from the crowd. And I loved it so much. It was, it was like nothing I've ever felt before. And I felt so safe. I felt so supported. And welcomed by everybody. And so, so much love- my heart filled, almost exploded, basically exploded, actually. And then after the performance, I was like, let's do it. Again, I want more, I want more and more and more and more!”
– Bri, Artist, on her performance experience
“It was sacred to share the space of opening up, sharing the vulnerability of letting your sensuality or sexuality out through your body, however it wants to come out. To have that safe support and love is precious… And I feel like I got to reclaim parts of my true self.”
– Dawn, Belly Dancer, Healer

What’s the relationship between Performance & Power?
In my most recent podcast episode, we address just that. Listen in to my approach and the experiences of some of my clients on their journey from classroom to stage:
FAQS
Do I have to wear heels?
Heels are encouraged but optional! We will be training in heels from the beginning of our classes so you will gain a level of comfort with them before the performance if you so desire.
What if I’ve never danced/performed before?
How exciting! All levels are welcome in this class and whether you’ve never danced or you’re an expert, you will unlock new realms of expression and embodiment in this class. Perfection NOT required at any point.
What if I have experienced trauma around my sexuality?
Yes, sometimes on the path of liberation, trauma, shadows and old stories come forward along the way even in the midst of all the fun. As a trauma informed coach, it is my ongoing intention to hold a space that provides tools, feels safe and supportive the whole way through, no matter what your herstory is or where you are on your journey of healing. If you would like to discuss if this space is the right space for you at this time in your healing process, please feel free to reach out at sensual.radiance@gmail.com and let’s discuss.
What if I have to miss classes?
You can either make up the class you missed at the other location or Zoom in. It is encouraged that you don’t miss more than 2 classes since we will be preparing for the performance the whole way through.
What if I have a disability?
This class is designed to meet you where you’re at and can be modified in a number of ways. If you are wondering if it will be a right fit for you please feel free to reach out to me at sensual.radiance@gmail.com
What do we wear to class?
Whatever you want! As much or as little as you desire. You’re welcome to dress up or dress down. Its up to you!

About Pussy empowered
Pussy Empowered
An intersectional, wholistic approach to empowerment integrating mind, body, spirit & emotion. Sex positive & sex worker inclusive.
From inner truth —> physical activation —> to embodied expression.
It’s not just theory, it’s practical, tangible application to your everyday life.
Why Me? Why Now?
The patriarchy isn’t going to dismantle itself. Its up to US to confront where it lives within us and re-condition ourselves in alignment with what we know to be true: that the world will be a better place when more of us step into our power. Its up to us to decide that its time to level the fuck up and start dreaming bigger for ourselves and for the collective.
But it doesn't have to be all shadow work. And you don’t have to do it alone.
Embodying the boss bitch you are can be a rapture filled experience of growth in community.
What is Pussy Power?
“Power is the ability to affect change and achieve purpose.”
-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
POWER
Patriarchal models of power have centered ‘power over’. But this is not the only format in which the concept of power exists. In the words of Brenee Brown, there is also ‘power with’, ‘power to’, and ‘power within’. These uses of power are responsible for all kinds of amazing contributions to the world such as the impact of a grassroots movement like Black Lives Matter (power with), the ability of Kamala Harris to become the first WOC Vice President of the US (power to), and the commitment Cardi B has to being herself despite the haters (power within).
PUSSY
There are many words used to describe the female genitalia. But most fall short of describing the entire female reproductive system -external & internal. When I use the word Pussy, I am often referring to ie: uterus, vulva, vaginal canal, cervix, ovaries etc.
I am also often referring to femininity and the experiences that go along with the biological, societal, and cultural experience of identifying as a woman whether assigned at birth or not.
My work may not resonate with all who have a biological Pussy*, if for example you do not identify as a woman, but it might. And it may not resonate with you if you identify as a woman but do not have a biological Pussy, but it might.
This community is diverse in many ways
including
gender identity, occupation, and ethnicity.
The Movement Aligns for You If:
You have a vision for a future that respects & reveres the feminine on a personal level AND for the collective.
You’re committed to self growth & living your life by your own rules.
You don’t wanna just talk about it, you wanna be about it.
You are open minded and open hearted- willing to hear different perspectives and expand your awareness rather than resort to defensiveness.
You’re ready to level up, but you’re tired of centering shadow work.
You want to dismantle whorephobia.
You want to be on the leading edge of a conversation that address intersectionality, rather than gaslights the experiences of anyone who is not in a place of privilege.
Together, we create a new paradigm
Next class series begins April 18th, 2024

*A Note on Gender Identity & Sex:
In this container, much of our focus will center the experience of the physical space of pussy: ie uterus, vulva, cervix, ovaries etc.
Much of our focus will center the experience of being socialized as a women.
If your lived experience remains outside of either or both of these experiences and this conversation resonates with you, you may discern that this is the container for you. It is possible that this may not resonate for you and where you are on your journey of liberation.
