"Please, don't do a burlesque dance for me!" said no man, ever. Ask just about any straight guy and he will tell you, watching the lady in his life do a sexy dance for him can be a major turn-on.
But what's not so obvious is what a turn-on it can be for you, too!
One of our favorite sex and lifestyle experts, Dana B. Myers, says practicing some sexy dance moves in front of a mirror -- even if you do it alone -- can be a great way to flirt with yourself and to boost your mojo. And to get us started, she recruited the help of a friend to show us a quick, simple burlesque dance routine.
For her "Mommy Mojo Makeover" workshops Myers helps moms rediscover their sexuality -- and one of the ways she does that is by teaching them burlesque moves.

In the following video Myers recruited the expertise of dance teacher and Soulesque owner Jazz Biancci.
