The Dance Lesson That Changed My Life
Darlings,
About five years ago, while in the midst of a huge personal transformation (a.k.a. divorce), Sister Goddess Sally Blenkey offered me ballroom dance lessons with her husband, Alex Tchassov, as a Christmas gift. Saved Mama’s skinny little ass, she did, by giving my feeties a vehicle to soar, to sing, to celebrate, to learn to dance.
Dancing is not an intellectual activity. You cannot know of the butterfly within unless you take her out for a spin and let her flap. And you gotta know that I knew as much about a business plan as I did about tango – exactly nothing. This does not matter when your goal is to soar. Everyone has a butterfly within. Giving her space to fly gives wings to your dreams.
I feel like a queen in Alex’s arms, and I promise you – you will too. The Evening of Dance Seduction is more than a lesson in dancing – it is a lesson in partnership, trust, and owning your beauty. So grab your dancing shoes and allow yourself to be seduced by the beautiful art form of ballroom dancing.
With so much love and pleasure,
Mama Gena
When’s the last time you had the privilege of feeling as though you were pure poetry in motion? On Monday, May 23rd, from 6:30pm-9:30pm, Alex Tchassov will be hosting “An Evening of Dance Seduction,” designed to allow you to give full expression to your own joy, right on the dance floor, and learn the principles of pleasurable surrender, in the arms of a trained professional.
This event includes an introduction on how to enjoy dancing with anyone (even if you think that they—or you—have two left feet), exercises that encourage you to own your beauty, and practices in basic social dance patterns. The evening then culminates with a dance; Alex has invited a group of trained male dancers, who will each invite you onto the dance floor to be swirled and twirled. You will have the opportunity to dance with six different men. This is an ecstatically fun evening that replaces the stuffy notion of ballroom dancing with one of seduction, where you can practice the art of pleasurable surrender in a completely safe space. The price of this evening is $125. See www.alexandsally.com for details or call (347) 248-2533 to register.
Alex also teaches private lessons in NYC (Chelsea). To schedule a lesson, call Alex at (646) 515-4360.
And, if you’re looking for a workout that will leave you feeling head-over-heels in love with your body, Sally teaches Burlesque Bikini Bootcamp on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday in NYC (www.burlesquebikinibootcamp.com). On Saturday, May 7th, Sally is offering a one-day intensive on adoring your female form, called “The Boudoir Bunny Make-Over.” This event kicks off with a Burlesque Bikini Bootcamp workshop, where you’ll learn to appreciate every facet of your unique body type, followed by a champagne brunch with choreographers Lady Chardonnay and Pink Champagne, where you’ll dig deeper into the specific science of reframing your attitude toward your body—beauty and femininity comes in every shape and size! The day culminates with a styling session and makeover and your own Boudoir Bunny photo shoot. Allow this empowering photo shoot—and gorgeous photos of yourself—to transform the way you feel about your body! Call (347) 248-2533 to register.

6:30pm until 9:30pm
A legendary evening is just around the corner. Do you want in? Alex Tchassov has a very special experience planned for you. Designed to make your heart race, your senses sharpen, and allow you the practical experience of actually dancing with at least five different trained guys — all of whom want you to practice the art of relaxing, receiving, and responding.
The evening begins with a special warm-up designed to elevate your own sense of your divine feminine. Alex will then introduce you to his principles for delicious and pleasurable surrender. We will then invite our wonderful dance partners into the room — then the party begins. It does not matter if you have never danced a day in your life — Alex will teach you everything you need to know in order to enjoy the rich and sensuous experience of being danced around the floor. All of these lessons are designed to crack you open, to give you a divine taste of what this really good surrender can feel like — with the intention of you using this experience to invite more into your life!
We are super lucky that our evening will culminate with a show starring three-time U.S. and World champions Jose Decamps and Joanna Zacharewicz – who will enchant us with their exquisite, sexy, dramatic, and gorgeous dancing! The price for this evening is $150 – however, if you pay before the end of May, the discounted rate is $125. Call (347) 248-2533 to either pay by credit card or make arrangement to send a check.
Want to bring even more positive energy into your life? Consider joining Alex and Sally’s dance troupe “The Pocohos.” Some of our members are experienced dancers, and many never danced a day in their life before they met us. We rehearse on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7pm until 8:30pm in Chelsea Studios in NYC. We will resume rehearsals in late August 2010 for a performance in the Pocono Mountains on October 17th-19th, 2010. Many troupe members have said this is the most fun they have ever had in their adult life. The larger goal of our dance group is to participate in glamorous choreography, even if you think it is too much for you. We want you to really think of the image you would like to project and use the rehearsal period to become the person of YOUR fantasy — and through this, get a newfound sense of your own beauty and confidence. Anything is possible if you set your mind to it. Our next dance performance has a Madonna theme. For more info, go to www.alexandsally.com or give Sally a call at (347) 248-2533.
Off the Deep End of Pleasure
Darlings!
Okay, so I went a little off the deep end this spring.
But, hey–
Wanna come with me?
What Goddess doesn’t want to see these things in her calendar?…love, money, sex, and dancing?! Intrigued?
Here’s a sneak preview of what will be landing in your inbox in the next month. The upcoming e-mails will be packed with all the details; for now, I want to get them on your pleasure radar…
Love: Jill Rogers returns to Mastery next week, after which she will teach her brilliant workshop — The Seven Sacred Steps: An Experience In Loving — on Monday, May 24th, from 9:00am to 1:00pm. Oh, this sister has got something really good going on here. She has captured the art of capturing the heart of a man in a way that sources both of you from your divinity. Jill has taught me to stand even more powerfully for my desires. Allow her to do the same for you.

Money: If one of your desires is to be rockin’ with your finances — I’m talkin’ ripping the lid off of what you believe is possible for you and your finances, learning to RESPECT your money by spending less and saving more, and doing this in a totally pleasurable way — Barbara Stanny is your WOMAN! You will NOT want to miss her incredible Overcoming Underearning Workshop on Monday, June 21st, from 9:30am to 5:30pm. Cost is $399 until May 28, 2010. On May 29th, the cost jumps to $475.

So I have dedicated my spring to opening the doors of sensual expansion for all of us by inviting Dr. Steve Bodansky, one of the authors of “Extended Massive Orgasm,” to come to NYC. He will be speaking at Mastery, and also offering one-on-one sensual sessions from June 15th-19th.
