Pretty BIG Movement's workshops are an opportunity for dancers of all genders and all body types to form community and liberate themselves through movement in a no-judgement environment.  

In this workshop dancers will build confidence while learning the foundations of the heels technique. Students of all levels are welcome! Dancers are invited to wear all black.

Pretty BIG Movement LLC (2008) is the 1st international full-figured dance company based in New York City. Specializing in various dance genres such as hip-hop, jazz, African and modern, Pretty BIG Movement has created a space where full-figured dancers can be seen as the true artists they are. After realizing that there were no stable platforms for voluptuous dancers like herself, Founder and CEO Akira Armstrong used her confidence and experience to build her empire known as Pretty BIG Movement.
