Hello Ladies! 

I read somewhere recently that the average child laughs up to 400 times a day, while the average woman laughs only about 15 times per day. 

This month take time to remember the child inside of you.  The one that believed in fairy tales, danced in puddles in the rain, and chased fireflies barefoot in the summer nights.  Remember the times you laughed so hard with your best friend that it was hard to breathe.  Remember the hot sand on your feet at the beach, the awe of a great firework display, and the cool stickiness of a popsicle dripping down your hand. 

As for Angela and I, well we’ve been friends since high school… so we are planning to spend one night this summer recreating a part of our teenage years… inviting some of our girlfriends over for a night of 80’s movies like Top Gun and Dirty Dancing, looking at old yearbooks and pictures, and gorging ourselves on pizza and cookie dough.  Which I am sure will bring about plenty of smiles and lots of laughter…

As always, we invite you to explore our newsletter:  You will see updated class and event pictures in the Gallery; discover music that will get those hips shaking in the Song List section; and meet one of our newest instructors and read her about her journey in the Instructors area.

Warm Regards,

Angela Fuentes & Deena
Co-owners, AOED NVA & DC

Your Journey

What is the Next Step in your exotic journey?

Take a weekly class and workout the inner you as well as the outer. You know you will get unconditional support, exercise, dance, and fun music in this 1 hour class. Every new series brings women who vary in age, shape, and reasoning for taking this 4 week series. It has been the most wonderful experience and continues to be such a break from the everyday.

Like any workout, it's just getting in the car and getting there. Once there, though the energy and acceptance of everyone is so refreshing. Not to mention you will sweat! The hour flies by and we are all lifted. You are dancing to songs that are popular today and a few from yesterday. We keep up with what's current in the music scene. So, when you are in your car and a song you just grooved to the night before comes on the radio, you can smile as you are reminded of that great head toss you did in class!!

The Signature Workout is great for the woman who wants to exercise basic exotic dance moves and explore within through the moving meditation of exotic dance. If advanced movement is what you want, The CoreMoves Workout Series is a way to truly hone in on perfecting the moves while exercising. Kick it up a notch with the ChairMoves series, and get a workout you will feel the next day. Each workout does NOT require experience so bring a co-worker or girlfriend. You will need to wear exercise clothes and bring a pair of high heels!
