Celebrating empowerment and confident togetherness Kimberley McIntyre is offering her Bolero dance as part of the V-Day celebrations at Byron’s Main Beach on February 14 this year and is inviting other women to come and learn the dance.
It is a dance Kimberley created two years ago when her father was in palliative care and she says it is about ‘a personal cultivation of your own power and beauty within yourself’.
‘It’s not the answer to the world’s problems,’ she explained to The Echo.
‘The dance is a way to cultivate our own sense of power and agency. Rather than protesting, it is taking a stand in our own bodies and doing it together. It is an amazing dance to do together.’
Join the dance
Kimberly is creating a space to learn the dance in preparation for V-Day on Wednesday’s, 10 to 11am, on January 22, 29 and February 5 and again on Saturday’s, 2 to 3pm, on February 1 and 8 at the St Martin’s Anglican Church Haal, 38 Stuary Street, Mullumbimby. It is free or a gold coin donation to help cover the hire costs of the hall.
‘I can also come to your house where you can get your girlfriends to join us and we’ll have a cup of tea and learn the Belaro,’ she said.
‘I want to spread this love message. The dance has already been shared at four women’s workshops and I know it is received well and people really enjoy doing it.’
