As far back as I can remember dance has been a part of my life. Movement was one of my first languages. As a young girl I spent most of my free time alone dancing in my room, with or without music my soul expressed the emotions deep in me through movement. It was when I watched a dance recital at my school that I realized how much I loved dance and a feverish desire to seriously study different forms of movement took over me. I followed that fever well into my twenties taking ballet, modern dance and lyrical dance classes; movement, no matter the form it came in, has always felt as natural to me as breathing.
Movement is essential to all living. Movement to me is as great a gift from the Celestial Planning Committee as language. Yes, it is a blessing that we get to be creatures that can contort, manipulate, and train our bodies to do amazing wonderful things; that those can be choreographed into a dance that tells a story arouses me! Speaking of arousing. You do know what they say about lovers that are good dancers, don’t you?!
Arousing Movement!
Yes, being a good lover requires being comfortable with your movements, being in control, feeling free and capable enough to move your hips, and knowing that within you lies a natural ability to have your body move precisely how you want it to! Before you connect your movements with those of your lovers it is essential that you connect with the eros of movement outside of the bedroom on your own. That you empower yourself through movement and that you tap into the sensuality of movement for yourself.
Sign up to take classes – of the sensual variety!
Classes are a great way to awaken movement’s erotic creativity. As someone that’s taken all sorts of dance classes throughout her life I think that if you want to learn how to move sensually modern dance, ballroom, burlesque, chair, pole dancing, aerial yoga, and belly dancing are great ways to connect with the eros of movement. Most studios offer great introductory rates for sampler classes and really it could take as little as one class to motivate you to start moving again.
Let yourself just move!
Head into the room that you have the most space to move and that you feel most comfortable dancing around alone. Turn your iPod on then keep pressing next until you reach a tune that makes you move. Turn it up and just move! If your body feels moved by something that you would normally not dance to just go with it. Let the music guide your movements without even thinking about what you are doing or how you look. Allow yourself to move freely but make sure that if your inner critic tries to join in on the dance that you ask it to sit this one out.
Try to get to the point where the only thing on your mind is the music. Keep moving without thinking but try to listen for emotional cues within your movements. The music for sure will cause you to feel or to want to react but instead of doing so in your mind with your thoughts let it come out through your movements. Yes, your movements can be as big or as small as they need to be to embody your emotions. What you’re shooting for is for your emotions to come through your every move.
Kind sorta like this…

Moving spontaneously to music is something that comes natural to all children sometimes even before they know how to control their limbs. You can still tap into this natural ability. You can learn to trust where your body wants to go with movement; in the room dancing alone and with your sexual partners too! With or without music your body knows how it wants to move; liberate your body’s movements by allowing it to lead you. Really! All you have to do is get your mind out of the way and move!
Let the movements of others arouse & inspire you!
Personally, I get turned on by watching all sorts of incredible things that people can do with their bodies from the acrobats in the circus and ballerinas to strippers and athletes pushing the limits of physical endurance setting records. I always feel more sensual, more empowered and a lot more ready to attempt to be erotic with my own movements after watching others push their movements to the maximum. Going to see live sensual dance performances is ideal for getting the juices flowing so if you can, get out there and enjoy that experience, but when you can’t there’s Youtube.
Here is an example of movement that I find arousing, erotic, sensual and inspiring!
Being bold and free with your movements outside of the bedroom builds confidence in our body’s ability to move properly when we are trying to be arousing in the bedroom during sensual moments.
