It’s Time to Burn the Old Narratives and Define a NEW Version of What Strong and Sexy Means to You
A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER:
I know this sounds kind of corny, but Catalyst Movement Arts is truly founded in love. After experiencing so much healing through pole, somatic movement, mindfulness and sensual practices, I realized that there aren’t many authentic community spaces for women to explore sensuality and reconnecting with our bodies in a more holistic way.I wanted to create a space where women could walk through the door exactly as they are at any given moment and feel welcome - with no judgement, no expectations, and absolutely no competition.
I wanted to create a space for women to be themselves, even if that’s something they’ve forgotten how to do. A studio space that nurtures a new, more loving, and kind relationship with themselves and a place to let go everything we’ve ever been told we have to be.
Catalyst Movement Arts is on a mission to help women take back their sensual power and take pleasure in their bodies - just for us!

MEET ANDREA
Founder & CEO
“I fell in love with how much nurturing and freedom I found through sensual movement.”
As a movement teacher and performer for over 7 years, Andrea has adopted a holistic approach to sensual movement to nurture ourselves in a balanced way, mind/body/soul.
Along her journey, she fell in love with the sexy, embodied, sensual aspects of pole dancing. In addition to teaching pole and sensual movement, Andrea has performed in numerous pole shows where she loved bringing her raw, vulnerable, erotic style of movement to audiences around the country.
After experiencing tremendous healing and self-discovery through mindful sensual movement, she’s now passionate about sharing the transformative power of pole dancing with her students. Andrea is a relentless encourager of body acceptance, self-love, and reconnecting with our most authentic selves. Her favorite part of teaching is when students come up to her after class and say that they felt so free!
