“We see dance as a celebration of human body in motion, and what a better way to celebrate and appreciate it than in the nude?  We also think that by removing clothes, we’ll get rid of preconceived notions of how we are supposed to move according to the social status and social group associated with clothes . . . we want to give your body full freedom in motion and let you move the way you are . . . nudity will only add that authentic, raw feel, as in many tropical cultures, as well as in . . . Ancient Greece, dance was often performed naked.  And as a pleasant side effect, you’ll probably learn the moves better than at any other (clothed) class, because you can’t cheat your moves naked.” (Video https://vimeo.com/152935166) – https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nudance-naked-dance-movement-class-tickets-27968363127

“Being naked in a waterpark was odd, but not as odd as we had expected . . . The weird part was the naked buffet afterwards, queuing up to be served roast beef by fully clothed 19-year-old staff members who were desperately trying to avoid making eye-contact with their exposed patrons.” - https://lucyfeltham.com/2016/10/24/featured-content-2/

“Hello, my name is David and I live in a major city on the East Coast of the United States.  I’m a graduate of a big public US university and ‘elite law school.’  Successful attorney, writer, happily married, grown son, homeowner.  Age 60. . . I have never felt comfortable wearing clothes. . . From an early age . . . I was nude indoors and very often . . . I would go out to our large back yard, and be nude outdoors.  It was just so much more comfortable! . . . At my college, there was a big hillside . . . where college students, including me, could enjoy each other and the sun, in the nude.  That was my first experience with public nudity, and certainly not my last! . . . Here in the United States, the laws vary from state to state and even city to city.  However, there are many, many public beaches where nudity is not only tolerated but encouraged and I have enjoyed that. . . being nude at public beaches, or among friends or at home, alone or with my wife, are all important to me.  I am open about my body and am very happy to spend my days nude and sleeping at night in the nude.  I am in fact an enthusiastic and outspoken advocate for nudism, and if that also makes me a naturist, I would be proud to be designated as such.” - http://www.nakedwanderings.com/2016/11/10/279/
