‘Sassy’ School of Strut claims to boost body confidence by encouraging women to dance around to Destiny’s Child in heels

DOES the idea of dancing in your underwear in front of a room full of strangers fill you with dread?

If so, you might benefit from signing up to Zoe McNulty’s School of Strut – an empowering, sass-filled dance class aimed at boosting body confidence and self-esteem.

The nationwide workshops – side effects of which include “increased levels of sass and an unprecedented rise in self confidence” – were created by International Fitness Presenter Zoe after years of worrying about what other people thought of her body.

The aim was simple: Help women feel empowered, fun, feminine and fabulous – while “finding and releasing” their inner diva.

The classes – which have soared in popularity over the last few years – are specifically designed to help women develop their self-confidence.

They involve learning a sassy dance routine, first in trainers, before switching to heels – hence the strutting.

The heels are optional, however, and there’s also “strut practice” to make participants feel more comfortable.

After which, the “finale” routine is performed to an empowering track – think Destiny’s Child, Queen Bey or Whitney Houston – which according to Zoe is “where the magic really happens”.

According to the website, School of Strut “takes full responsibility for any seemingly out of character actions made by Strutters as a direct result of coming to class.

“These actions may include the purchasing of bikinis, dancing on tables, being intimate with neglected partners, procreation, marriage, divorce and other life changing occurrences.”

Strut alumni can’t stop gushing about the classes either, with one calling it “such a pleasure to dance alongside these beautiful women” while another said: “I ‘just embraced’ the moment and strutted my stuff, highly recommend it to EVERYONE.”

And while all you’ll need to wear is comfy clothes to dance in, some Strut School students have even been strutting their stuff in their underwear.

And they’re not the only ones keeping it real.

In a bid to encourage women of all shapes and sizes to feel comfortable in their own skin, celebrities and influencers are taking the movement one step further by posting their own body positive videos – which involves them dancing in their knickers – online.

The likes of Chessie King, Louise Thompson and Taylah Roberts have all been getting involved and have been praised by followers for “being transparent and real” online.

And the movement seems to be taking off, with the stars tagging other pals to also take part in the practice.

Earlier this week, we told you about the blogger who edited her snaps to suit body shamers’ ideals… and the results are absolutely terrifying.

We also revealed an Aussie model, 24, has been praised for ‘normalising flaws’ with candid changing room selfie.

And we showed you a vegan poster girl revealed her diet ‘brought on the menopause’ and says she’s back to eating burgers.
