Can Plus Size People Twerk?

Written By Iya Thomas

Yes, plus size people can twerk and look damn good while doing it. A chance encounter during Shapely Ski led me to Kenyatta Harris. After learning she’s a plus size pole fitness instructor who also teaches twerkshops in a plus size friendly environment, I had to check it out. I jumped in the Jeep and made my way to the Awakenings Pole Fitness Studio in Philadelphia, PA. So often we want to try something new but we feel limited because of our size. I’m here to tell you to throw your inhibitions away, open your mind and get moving. Here’s a recap of my experience.

Kenyetta teaches out of Awakenings Pole Fitness. Visit their site to see what classes are coming up. To connect with Kenyetta, feel free to follow her on Instagram.
