Dance! I'm obsessed with dancing these days, trying to do it every single day. It makes me feel happy or expresses my sadness, it connects me to my body or helps me escape my mind. Finding fat dance role models is hard, so I was really excited to see this in my feed. #Repost @fatgirlshiking ・・・ Inspiring Dancers: @fatgirlsdancemovement "is a relentless fem-led online movement towards body positivity and self-love through the celebration of dance." . "We are not professional dancers. We are everyday women who represent everyday America who aim to show the world that Fat Girls CAN. Fat Girls DO. Fat Girls DANCE." [fatgirlsdance.com] Check out their website & participate in their "1 dance every week for 1 year" choreographed dances! Hiking flash mob anyone?! . Cathleen says, about why she started Fat Girls Dance, "I was interested in seeing the effect of the actual practice and lifestyle of a dancer on plus size women. Not for health reasons, as exercise, or as a means to lose weight. I wanted to know how the lifestyle of dance effects every day plus size women. Not just the physical strains it puts on our bodies. It’s more than that. I want to know how our minds, hearts, and spirits will shift when consistently faced with something we think we can’t do. Either because it’s too hard, too fast, too intense, or just not “for” us. And then, time and again, discovering that we were dead wrong." . #fatgirlsdance #trailsnotscales #fatgirlscan #bodypositive #bawdylove #fatgirlmagic #effyourbeautystandards #fatgirlscandance #losehatenotweight #noBS #seethe67 #outdoorjournaltour #goldenconfidence #alternativecurves #plussizevixens #nobodyshame #plussizeathletes
