How to Dance in Your Underwear & Feel Damn Sexy

I'm usually not wearing a shirt.
It's somewhat of a joke between family that I'm a nudist. My sis gets a kick telling people I do ballet in the nude. 

And it's true. I love fashion and buying clothes, but I also love, and prefer, lounging around in undies. Sometimes nothing at all. It's just easier, ya know? Especially now that I live in the tropics. It's just too humid to be bothered with clothes.

No need for socks anymore, but back in the day I loved lounging in these toe socks.
I also love dancing in the buff. I don't think it's that I specifically get naked to dance, but that when I'm naked I tend to dance.

It happens a lot before a bath or shower. Like I said about the naked ballet, I've practiced plenty of arabesques and port de bras nude. It helps to see my body unrestricted.

In Nia we learned to look at our bodies in the mirror and hold no judgement. Yes, we had to stand in front of the mirror and stare at our body (clothed) and play observer, not critic. Then it was suggested that we do the same at home, but naked. 

I do this all the time, have been for years (as most of us probably have), and getting better at noticing the beauty - my own beauty.

So let's get down to the nitty gritty and talk about dancing in our underwear (or naked!) and feeling beautiful while doing it. 

♥ If it helps, cover or put away the mirrors so you can really be in your body instead of judging your "technique." Trained dancers, you know what I'm talking about.

♥ Set the mood with lighting. That could mean turning off the lights and lighting a few candles or hanging fairy lights and dancing under their twinkling magic.

♥ Spritz on your favorite perfume to awaken your senses.

♥ Put on music that makes you feel sassy, sexy, and confident. Lately, I've been gobbling up burlesque music.

♥ Sway your body, circle your hips. Let your hands run through your hair and make their way down your curves.

♥ Do what feels good, even if it seems weird. Smile, laugh, wriggle on the floor.

♥ Think about the sexy, brave, confident woman you're becoming and embody that. Let it permeate every cell and light you up inside.

If there's ever a moment when you feel insecure, tell that insecurity to eff off! You're dancing and nothing can stop you. 

Now own your beauty. Dance your beauty. 

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You" −Dr. Seuss

After your gorgeous dance session, lounge around in your undies :) 

If ya want, stop by and tell me how it went. How did it feel to dance inside your own beauty?
