9 dancers lighting up our lockdown

They’re changing the way women see themselves in Ireland. 

These 9 dancers are helping us realise our superpowers from the comfort of our own homes. They help women, like you and I, own our space and step into our boss girl energy one beat at a time. 

You don’t have to be a professional dancer to start struttin’ around like you’re in a Cardi B music video. Whether you’re a first-timer, a secret bedroom showgirl or a dance fanatic you belong here with superstars like these.

So slide into those cute booty shorts, turn up the volume and get ready to meet your new hype girls.
