Who Is She?
Zoe McNulty is a Top UK Dance Fitness Presenter,
Group Exercise Expert and a Body Positivity Activist.
She specialises in helping women feel good about their figures, regardless of shape or size, through fun and feisty dance concepts.
IT ALL STARTED WHEN...
Zoe had always dreamed of being a backing dancer on Top Of The Pops but due to her being larger than a dancer "should be" and because she didn't want to be told she needed to lose weight, she avoided the commercial dance scene and the negative body image that she would undoubtedly have developed if she had decided to go down that road. However with the pressures of society she still struggled with her body through much of her adult life until she realised how much time she had wasted worrying about what others thought of her.
Zoe refers to herself as a champion of curves, and is honoured to be a Body Image Movement Global Ambassador (BIMGA).
She would love to see some changes to the Fitness Industry as she is saddened by the message which is being pushed that weight loss = health. The physical, mental, spiritual and emotional damage being done by this elitist approach simply cannot go on.
Zoe now feels more at home in theHealth At Every Size (HAES) community and is on a mission to put things back into perspective and regain some sanity and compassion within the Fitness Industry.
Her approachability, creativity, dynamic style and her fun personality, combined with a desire to help others has made her a firm favourite with class participants far and wide.

School of Strut®
Zoe is Headmistress of the School of Strut®.
She helps women feel fabulous regardless of shape or size and she does this through the medium of sassy dance classes.
She believes that all bodies are good bodies and have the right to basic human respect and to exist without judgement or oppression, even if sometimes that judgement and oppression comes from within ourselves.
And especially during these uncertain times, with anxiety at an all time high, it’s likely that disordered eating patterns are on the rise as a means of control and comfort. It’s time to throw food and exercise guilt out of the window.

Without very much preparation and zero dieting, she donned a swimsuit and heels and won!! She proved once and for all that confidence is a mindset, not dependant on circumstance. She was not the youngest, the slimmest or even the prettiest, but she owned that stage!
This was just the beginning of her deep dive into activism surrounding body positivity, body acceptance and Health AT Every Size™

In March 2015 Zoe was heralded as one of the top 10 dance instructors in the UK by the BBC who asked her to teach a 90s Rave inspired session at the 6 hour Comic Relief Red Nose Day Danceathon at the SSE Wembley Arena in front of 2500 dancers and lots of celebrities, as well as it being streamed on the Red Button to millions of viewers.
Emma Freud, the director, along with celebrities Marcus Brigstock, Rufus Hound and many more said they loved her section the best so unofficially she is THE BEST DANCE TEACHER IN THE UK!
Zoe was then invited back to Comic Relief to help Sara Cox complete 24 hours of dancing to Sounds of the 80s in March 2107, by being Sara's dancing muse and encouraging her to keep going. And then again in 2019 for Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman who both said they NEVER wanted to hear the phrase “Keeeeep dancing!” again!
Zoe's Faith
Faithful
Zoe's Faith
Faithful
Zoe has been a BORN AGAIN Christian for about 12 years now and her faith has been a constant source of comfort and fortitude.
Over the years Zoe has found there to be more Christians within the Fitness Industry than she had initially realised. She feared that due to the nature of the industry, focused on the flesh, that there would be few Christians to fellowship with. However, God has blessed her with a platform from which to proclaim of His love and has found that many fellow Christians have come forward.
She is often given opportunities to witness to non-believers and has been able to lead a small number to Christ.
