Winifred Robinson speaks to body inclusivity champion Trina Nicole about founding the UK's first plus size dance class The Curve Catwalk. Trina loved to dance as a child but when puberty hit she hid herself away under baggy clothes. By her twenties she realised she was missing dance but the classes she found didn't feel comfortable with or accepting of plus size dancers. 

So she launched her own. Now the Curve Catwalk runs classes in London, with pop-ups happening Birmingham and Manchester and Trina has built an online community of 8000 women. She has also has featured in a Nike campaign, dancing across a giant digital billboard in Piccadilly Circus and her performance credits include Lizzo, Nao and even Beyonce.
