 Owner/Creator,
Shawn Frances Lee, designed these exotic
dance classes to be suited for the enthusiastic
amateur as well as the aspiring professional.
Specializing in all forms of Exotic Dance,
these classes are structured from an honest
dance and acrobatic base. Although they
are not merely "fitness classes"
, they do include fitness based safety and
injury prevention qualities.
Different
levels are available, ranging from the absolute
beginner to the acrobatic pro! Shawn has
taken this unique style of movement, and
carefully broken it down into easy to learn
choreography that any woman can learn, even
if you have never danced before.
Urban
Fertility Dancer's personal goal:
To
create a series of home instructional DVD’s,
and an instructor training program, that
is not only a form of “alternative”
dance exercise/fitness, but also inspires
a safe, creative space for all women to
explore themselves and their natural sensuality
in the safest, most
supportive,
and effective environment possible.

 Shawn
has a background in numerous types of movement
training. Her childhood training began at
the age of 2 with tap dancing. It continued
throughout childhood to include ballet,
gymnastics and ice/roller-skating. She became
an AFAA certified group fitness instructor
at the age of 18. A musical theater major,
Shawn continued to train heavily in dance,
especially Fosse style jazz. Her love of
dance has always continued, adding salsa
and hip-hop into the mix in the recent years.
Her love of theater, acrobatics, and dance
led her to her most recent obsession, the
aerial circus arts, in 2003.
She
ardently trains and performs in various
apparatus, including aerial fabric aka silks.
Aside from all of her technical training,
Shawn’s passion for Fosse, Cabaret,
and Burlesque led her to work off and on
as a real Exotic Dancer for over 10 years.
She taught herself to "Pole Dance"
in Las Vegas at the Crazy Horse Too, where
she worked with and knew a very young (and
not of legal age yet) Jenna Jameson. In
total, Shawn danced in over 30 clubs across
the country, not only in Las Vegas but also
in New York City, Phoenix, Los Angeles,
and Guam as well. During this time, she
became quite well known in the underground
club circuit for her polework and elaborate
stage performances.
She
retired from dancing many, many years ago
when the focus in the business became about
"lap dancing" rather than the
stage performances. Personally,
Shawn preferred the old-school business,
back when it was a “non-contact”
sport.
 No
other exotic aerial dance instructor and
choreographer internationally has such a
unique program, incorporating technical
and exotic dance choreography, group fitness
training, aerial circus acrobatics, and
aerial circus safety/injury prevention.
Shawn's classes have grown non-stop over
the last 5 1/2 years, merely through word
of mouth and the Internet. She also works
with a large number of exotic dance professionals
who need to prepare for exotic dance contests
and the strip club feature circuit.
Shawn
has become well known in the underground
of exotic danceas "the" authentic
exotic aerial dance instructor and choreographer
in the industry. Her trademark style of
combining provocative yet tasteful choreography
with amazing pole acrobatics and floorwork
is appealing to the adult industry and non-adult
industry alike.
