“We organised this event to ensure women know that they have the power to overcome any situation and grow with their scars.”
In a fun and vibrate atmosphere, Nicole Muller, from Pinnacle Palace, provided participants with a dance workout class that helped them loosen up and also aided the women on how to throw a punch but still look sassy while doing it.
“We wanted to empower women not to be victims but rise and be victorious – although we know this will not happen overnight,” she explained
“We firstly have to be confident in our own skin.
“The dance workout was to make exercising fun while you lose weight and also gain some techniques, like how to defend yourself but only when needed – we don’t promote violence.”
