Workshop
Crystal Black: Liquid Motion®
This open-level class utilizes elements of fitness conditioning, sensual movement, and dance theory to provide the student with a total mind and body movement experience. In this 60-minute class, students will learn the Liquid Motion® Fundamentals to build a foundation for floor work and wall work. The class includes body conditioning, lateral movement drills, intricate floor flows, exploration of sensual movement, and an understanding of total body awareness—or as we refer to it, Liquid Motion®!
Crystal Black (she/her) began her burlesque career in September 2019 under the guidance of Jacqueline Boxx, Nona Narcisse, and Cherie Nuit of Essential Tease. Through burlesque, these amazing performers guided Crystal into unlocking a new level of confidence and creativity that she never knew existed. As an award-winning pole dancer and aerial studio owner, burlesque was the missing element in her life. Crystal Black will absorb you into her light. Her artistry strives to tell stories that highlight the brilliant and complex spirit of the world. She is a queen! She is black! She is beautiful!
