WHY: Many young girls dance around their rooms dreaming of one day becoming professional dancers. Sadly, for many of them, their dreams don’t come true. Although these young ladies are skilled and very talented, they lack the self-esteem and the confidence it takes to pursue their dreams. Kimberly Gipson, known to the world as KiMMiE GEE, was once a little girl who fantasized of dancing professionally. After learning to love herself and finding confidence and self-esteem, she was able to dance herself from in front of the mirror in her bedroom onto international stages where she performs before millions as the lead dancer for the fierce, first lady of modern-day R&B Beyoncé Knowles. Now one of the most recognizable contemporary dancers in the industry, KiMMiE GEE has vowed to help starry-eyed girls make their dreams come true by hosting her self-titled international, motivational dance workshop, KiMMESTRY. Through KiMMESTRY, the art of loving me workshop, participants go on a journey to discover self-worth. During the workshop, young girls gain confidence, build self-esteem, and more importantly, boost their level of self-love using dance techniques and positive affirmations. Shy, timid and unsure girls walk in to the one-day intensive workshop and DIVA’s (Dreaming, Imagining, Visualizing, and Aspiring) emerge leaving empowered, prepared and ready to accomplish their dreams.
