A female dancing group that aims to promote body positivity is looking for additional plus-size dancers to join their team.

Charity Holloway broke the dancing norms after founding a plus-size dance crew that goes by the name of 4Thirty-Two.

As the woman from Charlotte, North Carolina, explained, her group received so much praise and attention that they are always looking to expand their ranks by letting more dancers join them.

“There is no girl on this planet too fat to dance. I’m just looking for that little spark of light that I can turn into a star,” Charity said in an interview with Shake My Beauty.

“This could be their one big chance to dance and shine like they’ve never done before. If they are brave enough to turn up then they deserve a chance. Dancing saved my life and maybe it will save someone else’s life too.”

As the entrepreneur added, she founded the dance group after she was being told she was “too fat to dance” despite her undeniable passion for dancing.

“We are here to shatter those horrible expectations people have for us; those horrible thoughts, those unfavorable opinions and just break those stereotypes,” she added.

Speaking of the auditions organized by 4Thirty-Two in July, prospective member Torie said:

“I’m going to miss a line. It’s been forever for me since I danced. I was 18 and I’m 30-ish now, so forever. But when I get out there and dance y’all see the real me for the first time in forever.”

After two rounds of elimination and a few tough calls, the group took in four new members including Torie.

While the auditions were a major success, Charity admitted it wasn’t easy to let go of other participants.

“The one thing I struggle with as a judge is that we are built on body positivity. We want to encourage people, we want to tell them to love themselves, so when you have to reject women it is so hard,” she said.

“That’s why I say that I want to work on ways of getting people involved even if they don’t make the auditions.

“It was really hard to choose between those 15 girls. They were all so great but I do think that the four girls that we did choose are going to be awesome, they will fit right in.”
