If you are like me, you think valentines is a commercials holiday and you do not need to show your significant other a specific day. Since internet is still big here comes the fake holiday to appreciate anybody. if you are like me you randomly send the guy you are into “His flowers” while he is at work or with his boys. But, hey that is just me. Let us rewind to when I went to dance classes every weekend. All the heel classes were promoting their Pre-Valentines classes and party. You Know me, I had to go to each one back-to-back.
When those Valentines day classes hit the dance studios, you know what that means. It means the choreography will be extra sensual and it could be floor work, chair dance, just you just dancing in your heels. This is all for your significant other or just for yourself. They would have a cute setup for us like heart balloons, hearts on the table and two bottles of wine or champagne for us. Even one year, Body language Art of seduction had Bedroom Kandi came into class, but ill get into that later. Plus, they always set the mood with whatever R&B that will bring out your sensuality out. That you are dancing for significant other in the room but starting a bit with some wine or champagne. Sometimes, there was chocolate cover strawberries and sometimes just alcohol.
One year, there was Bedroom Kandi shop was there and a raffle to win some toys. Bedroom Kandi has 38 Products of toys we learned about and how to have used them, plus She showed the other products that Bedroom Kandi also had offer. Then, we learned the choreography to whichever song at the time.
Throughout the years I went to every Pre-Valentines/ Valentines day class and Party because it did not feel like valentines to me. I got to let out the sensual part me come out with whatever music at the time. In the back of my head, I was like “I can’t wait to try this on so so “at the time. No men have got that lucky and I do not know why. Well, maybe it will happen in the future, I could not tell you because I cannot see beyond today. Overall, I felt like a new woman after class and having the biggest smile after class because the energy is simply different. I would not trade the experience for anything and got more in tuned with myself every year.






I had a pleasure working with Sherema on her company cultured movement. What is cultured movement? You asked, it’s a 
where do I begin? I discovered sammie on Twitter when I broke my foot dancing. I had friends but everyone has their own life. You know when ustream was a thing, he would literally record and write on ustream making mixtapes. It may sound weird but I felt like I had a friend while I was stuck at home with my broken foot. After that, I was just intrigued about him. Fast forward to two years ago when sammie and tank went on tour together. I was like yes, both of my favorites on tour together . I went so hard for the both of them that I lost my voice and my throat hurt the next day. But, it was worth it cause they put their all on stage and I met sammie after the show too. Now, let’s go back to last night, he put on an amazing show and I wouldn’t expect anything less. But, I got to meet him again. I got him gummy bears cause I knew that was his favorite. I got him gummies and I was excited to give them to him then I realized it was Swedish fish I was ready for the show. It felt like r&b heaven that i would relive again if I could. 
thank you sammie!! & i recommend his shows and music cause he gives his all in everything he does … His IG is sammiealways snap chat is sammieleighbush Twitter:
