what makes us different
tHERE IS POWERFUL ENERGY IN SHEDDING THE EXPECTATION TO MAKE YOURSELF PALATABLE FOR OTHERS. AND WE WANT YOU GIVE YOU A SPACE TO PRACTICE.
smash MAINTAINS A COMMITMENT TO BODY NEUTRALITY, INCLUSIVITY, AND UNAPOLOGETIC SELF-EXPRESSION. WE REJECT THE IDEA THAT FITNESS IS MEANT TO ACHEIVE A VISUAL OUTCOME. We move for joy, empowerment, connection, and healing. we seek to promote movement as a means of practicing peaceful existence in our bodies.
our influence
OUR choreography draws influence from hip-hop, Pole, floor work, somatics, reiki, yoga, and rECENT dance trends. The movement targets muscles responsible for storing stress and trauma, makes you feel sexy, and is fun as hell!
OUR MUSIC CHOICE IS AS BOLD AS OUR MOVEMENT. songs are explicit and have sexual themes. It’s meant to feel permissive— indulgent, rule-breaking, and seXUALLY expressive. Our songs are recent, recognizable, and easy to move to.

meet the creator
I created SMASH in 2021 after feeling unsatisfied teaching other formats of group fitness. At this point in time, I had been journeying through a process of radical self-acceptance, coming to peace with my body, and making a loud statement about what it means to exist in the fitness space in a big body. I have always connected with sexuality as an avenue for expression and healing. Other formats seemed chained and I wanted to create something that truly offered the opportunity to break the rules. They had some soul, but they lacked permission to express the carnal rawness that women are rarely granted to opportunity to get acquainted with. By trade, I am a licensed clinician social worker. I provide mental health therapy to adolescent and young adult women. My approach to therapy is somatic experiencing (the experience of being in your body). I believe that emotional and soul healing cannot be achieved without becoming present and comfortable in one’s body. When we learn to befriend and eventually master our bodies, we can be unstoppable. I am also a wife and mother. There have been times that I have felt limited by these roles. Through SMASH, I have learned that the truth about these roles is that they make me a more expansive person, not a limited one. I want every SMASH participant to know that they are not defined by their titles and that no matter your profession, age, size, background, sexuality, or fitness ability, you’re allowed to feel good in your body. It is my hope that this format brings you deep self-connection, freedom, and the sensual pleasure of uninhibition. Love,Chelsey Dotson
