The mystery school is a place where whatever is going on for you will not only be acknowledged but welcomed! I have never known any other space where I can turn up and say exactly what is on my mind, and no one tries to fix it, or tell me I shouldn't feel that way, but instead I am received exactly as I am. From that place of pure acceptance a true freedom arises. It's difficult to capture in words, it truly has to be felt for yourself.

I want to name the embodied experience of the circle and the support in being in our authenticity and how I experience this. How I experience just being seen and witnessed. It’s been really potent. There’s an alchemy in this Mystery School that I have trouble describing, and that I so appreciate. - Sandra V
Kellita teaches so much more than dance.
This intensive is designed specifically for women who want to explore a transformative modality that reconnects them to their bodies, their sensuality, and what it means to be an empowered woman. - Amberetta
It’s like a decolonization for your eyes. The world has taught us to look at things from a particular lens, and this is the antidote to that lens. So much of our lives we have been gaslit, sometimes to the point where we think to ourselves ‘the experience that I feel, do I even feel it? Is it really mine?’. Kellita's work is the antidote to gaslighting, it is learning how to self-trust, to take off those glasses of judgment and misguided perfectionism, and learn how to see yourself and others, anew. It's a life-altering playground to explore new states of being, to make choices about them, and to include them when and as we would like -- it's the alchemy of experience. - Vitalia F
The Showgirl Awakening Life Practice (aka thinly veiled mystery school) feels like the most nourishing thing I've probably ever come across. So many things that I've done before have helped prepare me for this. I've done EFT for a really long time, and been exposed to constellation work and shamanism and a lot of Feminine Empowerment kind of stuff, lots of dance. I feel like this is so potently bringing all of these separate things together. And also the sisterly community. My experience of having my sweetness ensconced in a way that it can really gently blossom is nourishing me on a really deep level. - Amy P
There’s so much I enjoy about SGA Mystery School. I enjoy the exercises, that we can take it at our own pace, the level of engagement we have as a group, the psychosocial drama therapy elements, how the dancing both brings stuff up and helps to process and integrate it. Above all, I trust you, Kellita, and the process you evoke. I like the safety of the space you create and I really like that it is in a group with other women willing to really show up. - Fatima M
If you are searching for a way to FIND and EMBRACE your femininity and expression, you MUST try one of Kellita’s offerings! She is so loving and kind and gentle and a wonderful teacher, She will gently COAX out of hiding the amazing beautiful glorious flower that you are, that has retreated into hiding due to the inhospitable (to the feminine) culture in which we are living. - Kim G
I saw another burlesque show recently. It was a combo of electronic music and burlesque dancers. The dancers had gorgeous bodies and moved well, yet ultimately I was bored. SO unlike you and your students, who bring this incredible INNER LIFE, humor and intelligence to the stage. - Jane G
I am in a calm place and feeling a clear sense of more ‘freedom’ within me, which is very nice. I am enjoying those subtle sensations and remembering they are part of the ‘limitation removal service’ that was this whole experience! 😉 There’s more ‘light’ in here, more room, more space. You’re not part of the Sanitation Dept, you’re part of the Sanity Nation Department (or Sanititillation Department?) 🙂 Kellita’s Limitation Removal Service, ha ha ha ha ha. - Sunny D
Last week I performed a show with an amazing group of ladies. The piece I performed was to a 70’s kraut rock song and was inspired by snakes who shed their skins to emerge stronger, larger and healthier and by the idea of letting go completely. In the last years my body has undergone changes, i’ve gotten soft where there once was muscle and i worry now about the loss of “attractiveness” as i get older and about being seen when less than perfect.
Then i saw this picture and thought, “Damn, I look shiny and powerful as fuck!!!” I think this may be what the world needs now more than ever, for each of us to be imperfect but shiny and powerful. Thank you @kellitatheshowgirlshaman for all you have taught me and much love to my showgirl sisters and Jeff Spirer for taking wonderful photos. #showgirlawakening #snaked #shinyandpowerful - Kathy W
I’ve been meaning to create and perform a burlesque solo for years, but never followed through with it. Kellita’s Burlesque from the Inside out program finally made it possible. I couldn’t have created and performed a burlesque solo without the structure, the feedback and, most importantly, the love that suffused this class. - Joy R
Thank you so much Kellita for being the warm, compassionate, insightful mentor and friend to all of “your girls.” I loved the show and the progression I have seen in Katy Bella, Cherish, and others. Bella was a little nervous about me seeing her perform to the “Bitch” song. She needn’t have been. She has kept that side locked up long enough. I much prefer seeing her with attitude and strutting her stuff than being a doormat and being trampled on. I celebrate with her where she is and the journey she is on. My intention was joy and I felt that throughout the show. I was especially touched by Bella’s performance. I appreciate that you taught us to anchor a special feeling. Bella taught me how to reclaim it the next day. Seeing Bella celebrate herself and her body by showing it without the tease and with that gorgeous cape was exquisite and really struck a chord with me. I’m glad I knew how to capture that and have already reclaimed it. I don’t feel the need to perform on stage but I love having ways to celebrate my body and appreciate others doing the same. I just bought a ticket to the April 1 show and can hardly wait to come back for more. I was sitting where I could see you being the stage Mama to all of the performers. It was a special blessing to me to see your love and excitement for each of them as they expressed themselves in remarkable ways. Your newbies are an amazing testament to you and your very good work. - Mama Badonkadonk (mother of Bella B)
It doesn’t matter what you look like…it’s all about your confidence and how you are inside and that’s what makes you beautiful…I think everybody in society days that, but dancing with these women has taught me to believe that… - Sharon B
Kellita makes you feel like an experienced dancer, even if you aren’t! She knows bodies and how to break things down in order to express the pure, simple dance lines that are naturally in your body and it will feel GOOD. Like coming home to your own personal sparkly palace. - Lil L
Ultimately I am re-learning what it means to trust mySelf, love and appreciate and respect mySelf for who I am and that is what matters most. This is what I am integrating at this present moment with this precious new moon and one month after my coming out as my budding congruent self. - Lola B
WEEEEEEEEE OHHHH GEEEEEE AHHHHH!!!!!! I will be living off this performance high for weeks!!!!!! Ohhhhh my goodness, thank you THANK YOU to all who came out to support me tonight!!!!!! And to my AMAZING and TALENTED and BRAVE fellow soloists and showgirl awakening beings!!! Ohhhhhhh what a joy it was to share this evening with you!!!! I could not be more thrilled with the experience of presence and joy I had sharing my ferocious vixen self with you all tonight!!!! - Lola B
I can tell you a day with you has changed my life. I love me more. Thank you. You are the beginning of my Journey to Self love. - Pamina F
Thank YOU Kellita for guiding me through those magical one and a half hours. I guess, I have never heard my inner voice speaking so loud and clear like today. - Tina W
This whole process is so much more than I ever imagined. My breakdown was a breakthrough.
- Joey B
Thanks for not looking at me any differently than the size 2 next to me. It says a lot about the energy you exude and attract that none of the other girls did either. - Maddie Licious
I’m not a “joiner,” most of my friends are men, and I suck at maintaining friendships with other women, and even though my best friend is a professional life coach and I edit all of her stuff, I’ve always found the concept hokey. But this – YOU – came into my life at the right moment, and I really like the way everything you do comes from a place of caring and vulnerability, but with fun and humor mixed in. It felt organic and mindful and honest, and I found myself responding to it even on days when I really didn’t want to. So, thank you. I’m really glad I took the chance. - Melissa B
Thanks to myself for allowing myself to be who I am. Thanks to my whole surrounding for giving me this space and respecting me for it. And thank you Kellita, my dear burlesque friend and ‘Showgirl Awakening Shaman’, who taught me this way of living!
I have had the honor to be part of a 5 month long participation of Kellita’s Showgirl Awakening Program and this is what I have to tell you about it: Kellita’s work is through and through amazing. It absolutely changed my life to the better. It makes the colours more solid, the sweets more delicious, life and yourself – more beautiful and more meaningful. Are you ready to get in contact with your true radiant being? Then you are ready for Kellita’s Showgirl Awakening!!! - Koko La Douce
To walk into a sisterhood was amazing…
This is empowerment on a much bigger scale than I ever could have thought…
It’s like sexy on your own terms.
- Zoe Y
I’m so grateful to be a part of The Showgirl Awakening experience. It came to me at the time when I was finally (after 36 years!) beginning to feel love for myself, especially my body. I had dreams I was convinced were impossible, and now they’ve started coming. Learning from you and dancing with you is a huge one!
You are a fantastic teacher! So patient and loving, I have felt myself grow in self confidence and radiance. I finally feel able to work on releasing some very deep, painful childhood memories which I’ve let dominate my life. In your class, I’ve been able to tap into my inner strength to forgive myself and release so much pent up sadness.
I danced and performed a lot as a child but stopped suddenly. It feels so amazing to my body and soul to be dancing and performing again! I’m grateful to you for the part you’ve played in me feeling at home with myself and in my body. For years I couldn’t even look at myself in a mirror. - Bella B
