Live Clean. Dance Dirty.

Updated: Apr 17, 2020



Win our Live Clean. Dance Dirty tank & a FREE class.


Read below for information on how to enter to win.


Before we tackle the above mantra, let's address the elephant in the room—our name. People keep asking, what does seksé mean and how do you say it? You pronounce the é the same way you would with fiancé or Beyoncé—my muse. So something like “sek-say”. It must be said with attitude because that's what we are: fitness with attitude. Say it loud right now, wherever you are. I dare you! The meaning of seksé is a dare in itself. We dare you to try something new. We dare you to challenge the status quo of what is means to be “sexy”. We dare you to live your life unapologetically. Us founders dared to choose a name that was risqué (notice the é) in hopes it would galvanize people to DARE.

You may be curious about our backstory as well and why we created Seksé Fit. Also did you know this is a "livestyle" blog, not to be confused with "lifestyle". There is an explanation and purpose behind the names and how it connects to who we are as founders and a company (more on this in future blogs). Let’s start from the beginning with an original slogan that came before seksé and livestyle…

Live Clean. Dance Dirty serves as a great mantra for our clients, in and out of the studio. It’s also awesome on a shirt—a shirt that you can win (details below).


Live Clean

Be. A. Good. Person. Be kind to yourself, others and the earth. Take care of your body through healthy practices like fitness, diet, cognitive challenges and soulful or spiritual connections to yourself, others, and/or your religion (if you have one). Cultivate meaningful—long lasting relationships. Give back to your community and yourself; it’s ok to be “rationally selfish” (thanks Ayn Rand). Care about your environment and when it’s possible, do your part to recycle, shop locally, and eat organically. Don’t f*ck people over. Have standards and morals—that are true to you. Maybe you think cursing is bad, that’s fine and there’s no judgement (flipping the switch, how you like that?). We are adults, so we can do whatever the f*ck we want. We are not hurting anyone and doing our part to make this world a better place with our actions...LIVE AND LET LIVE. In all of this clean living, don’t try to be too perfect. Allow yourself to indulge occasionally. Most importantly, do it for YOU not your image. Good people like to dance dirty.


Dance Dirty

Don’t. Hold. Back. When you dance, let everything else around you melt into the background and unleash that sexy beast, that pent up energy, that fire within. Look inwardly at your desires and release them outwardly through dance. You are human and it’s your innate trait to want to feel sexy. There’s nothing wrong with that—damn it! Dance Dirty transcends the physical into our existential existence. One must live with moxie, intention, and gusto if you want to blaze a trail. People may try and hold you back so shake it up, get gritty, and be a contrarian, when necessary, and never, ever, try to “fit in”. Never, ever, hide from the spotlight or dim that sparkle. Don’t apologize for being YOU...EVER! Also stop being such a narcissist (geez)! Nobody cares about what you are doing... really. They’re too busy being a narcissist themselves and caring about what people think of them. HA! Ok, maybe we aren’t all narcissists, but if you think about it, everyone is insecure to some degree. People aren’t focused on you as much as you may think. People who waste their life criticizing or judging you, don’t have the courage to be themselves and they’re jealous, afraid, and unhappy because you have what they want—the tenacity and self-respect to live an authentic life. Yes, I wrote self-respect. If you have respect for yourself, you will live honestly and the most honest thing you can do is to BE YOURSELF.

Lastly when you come to Seksé Fit and you step on to our cushy performance floors, YOU BRING IT! If you struggle with confidence, Seksé Fit will help YOU reveal or develop YOUR swagger, YOUR rhythm, and YOUR individuality. Remember nobody has their eyes on you when you are dancing or working out; they are watching themselves. Hopefully, after experiencing Seksé Fit and the supportive and inclusive environment, you will feel empowered and will not give a f*ck anyway. You will be ready to OWN IT! Now go have the time of your life, you dirty little dancer!

When my daughter was around 13-14 she was obsessed with dance and had made it onto her local studio's dance team. She loved the competitions, the classes, the rehearsals, costumes, etc. But her dad and I had just divorced and I was starting over on my own after 10 years of not working and in an area with very expensive housing. Her dance costs were $900 a month and I just couldn't do it. For a while she worked to help pay costs, but between the divorce and trying to help pay while keeping a busy school and dance schedule, she eventually quit. She kind of spiraled and was pretty troubled for a few years after that. I have always…

I have struggled my whole life with shame and ridicule around sexuality. Stifling the sexual being inside has followed me up to my recent adult life. The past year or so has been calling me to step out and be myself. Accept myself as I am and accept that humans, ALL HUMANS, are sexual beings and it's so okay. While I have heard this calling loud and clear, and as you all may well know, stepping out of my comfort zone and truly starting to accept myself has been quite difficult.

I heard about Seksé in the media and again from Alex in one of her hip-hop classes. It was SO ALLURING. The confidence and acceptance shown at that studio…

I was soooo nervous to attend any class at Sekse. I've only taken one Zumba class in the bay area before this place opened. I've always wanted to dance. I remember begging my mom to take me to ballet. I think I was 5 or 6. That was a big deal for her to agree as I'm one of six kids and we were always told we didn't have the money or time for individual sports. But she knew I wanted to dance and she told the other kids to hush and she took me. Well, we were late because of the many kids. I opened the doors to my first ballet class and everyone turned to look at me.…
