Hey ladies, so you know we’re all about body positivity and expressing ourselves however we want here at TCF! So its only right we shared with you the Fat Girls Dance Finale! Not familiar with the Fat Girls Dance Movement?

FATGIRLSDANCEā„¢ (FGD)–an organization with a stamp of approval by writer and producer Shonda Rhimes–is a relentless fem­‐led online movement towards body positivity and self-Ā­love through the celebration of dance.

DOVE REAL BEAUTY PRODUCTIONS & FATGIRLSDANCEā„¢ PRESENT: THE FINALE!

Created by playwright; novelist; and blogger Cathleen Meredith, FGD is a year long online challenge that began August 2016. Cathleen describes FGD asĀ ā€œa radical act of fearlessness in a world where plus-size people are socialized to be afraid, silent, invisible, and a punchline.ā€Ā The challenge? To learn one dance every week for a year. Some of the toughest choreography, only shot once, with no retakes.

It was a social experiment: we wanted to know what would happen to plus size women when they are consistently faced with something they think they cannot do, and then, proven wrong every single time.Ā Cathleen

This year has been a whirlwind of success for the movement and all those involved. To celebrate they are having a 2-day finale.
