If you are interested in modeling and fall somewhere in that size range, can be available for a fitting at Go Figure's San Francisco store sometime in the next few weeks, AND can be at the event venue by 4pm on the day of the show (3/29) please send me email at jessica at bigmoves dot org. Please note, this is an unpaid non-professional modeling job, but it is loads of fun. Event details below.

Abundance should be appreciated, not avoided. That's why there's A Taste for Dance, now entering its seventh season with a spring-themed event. Enjoy a lavish chocolate buffet, generously stocked by chocolatiers, bakers, and candy makers from around the Bay Area while feasting your eyes on dance that comes in all sizes of delightful!

Big Moves Bay Area is proud to present our most extensive chocolate tasting performance line-up to date with jazz, lyrical and hip hop performances by Big Moves' own Phat Fly Girls-West Coast, the sexy burlesque stylings of Rubenesque Burlesque, belly dance by Raks Africa, plus solo performances by Big Moves dancers. A flabulous plus-size fashion show from San Francisco retailer Go Figure rounds out the evening. Long-time fat activist and co-author of "Great Shape: the First Fitness Guide for Large Women" emcees. As always, there will be the chance to win some cold hard cash in the split-the-pot raffle as well as the opportunity to learn some phat and fly moves of your own during our traditional end-of evening mini-dance lesson.

All proceeds from "A Taste for Dance" benefit the programs of Big Moves Bay Area a volunteer-run not-for-profit fiscally sponsored project of Intersection for the Arts, a 501(c)(3) organization.
