The message was heard loud and clear and the studio has officially opened its doors to everyone regardless of background. I never imagined this simple idea would reach this many people and the credit for this shift belongs entirely to you. Please keep dancing and keep being exactly who you …

Seeing the count climb toward one hundred names is honestly overwhelming and I just never thought this would resonate this far. You all are the ones fueling this movement so please consider posting the link to your own pages to help us cross this threshold today.

I am a 60-plus year old grandma who has gotten a new lease on life with belly dancing. In fact, my doctor is encouraging me to continue to maintain fluidity of motion in my body. (PS: I am a "full-figured woman who has gained much self-confidence through belly dancing.) I am proud to say "I belly dance."

I am a member of a belly dance troupe & we call ourselves “Veils of the Nile “ we have troupe members that very in age & body type, dancing is all about how it makes you feel ... it’s expressing yourself regardless ❤️ Our troupe is a sisterhood we encourage each other ❤️

Belly dancers are beautiful women - no matter what age shape or size. It's a dance to be enjoyed by ALL women. There is no room in our beautiful belly dance community for a teacher who is judgemental about a dancers size and who thinks it is acceptable to body-shame!

I am a plus sized fusion dancer in Mpls. I have been dancing for about 10 years now. Without the great support system here in MN, I would have never found my way to dance because of my size and disability.

I am 63 years old with gray hair and glasses. I'm also somewhat "overweight". I've been dancing for 4 years and plan to keep performing for many more years. I love the friendship and support from my fellow student troupe members!
