The idea was to explore social justice issues through a feminist lense as they performed a repertoire of dance and drumming pieces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Grrrl Brigade was created to fulfil the Dance Brigade mission to invest in the next generation of young women by creating a platform for girls to find their voices but also to learn about the different social justice issues that affect their lives and the world that they are living in today.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40291\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40291\" style=\"width: 445px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Grrrl_Birgade__021-WEB.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-40291\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Grrrl_Birgade__021-WEB.jpg?resize=445%2C623&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"445\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Grrrl_Birgade__021-WEB.jpg?w=693&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 693w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Grrrl_Birgade__021-WEB.jpg?resize=600%2C840&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Grrrl_Birgade__021-WEB.jpg?resize=179%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 179w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Grrrl_Birgade__021-WEB.jpg?resize=343%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 343w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 445px) 100vw, 445px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40291\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Krissy Keefer, co-founder of Dance Brigade (est.1984), poses for a portrait at Dance Mission Theatre on April 7, 2019.

Photo: Amanda Peterson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cOften dance classes can be very traumatic for women and girls, because there is so much body shaming that goes on, and there is so much emphasis on being super thin,\u201d said Kiefer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">This is what differentiates Grrrl Brigade and Dance Mission Theater from more traditional dancing companies: The only prerequisite to joining Grrrl Brigade is a passion for dancing and to be present. \u201cWe don\u2019t have a standard of what you need to look like. All body types are accepted,\u201d said Kiefer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">As junior member of Grrrl Brigade, Adelina Cenzano, said: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter what you look like, or what body type you are. As long as you feel like dancing, you can come and dance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cStand Up!\u201d is a show that focuses on women standing up against the various ways in which violence against women has manifested in today\u2019s society. It will touch on trending topics like the Me Too movement and the Brett kavanaugh confirmation hearings, but also age-old ones like body image, and intimate partner violence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Grrrl Brigade member Sasen Mosley-Wise believes using other mediums such as dance to open up the conversation around these issues is important because of the way it allows people who \u201cwould not normally talk about these things,\u201d to engage with the content of the dance repertoire in their own terms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>There are two upcoming Grrrl Brigade events at Dance Mission Theater, which is located at 3316 24th Street (at Mission Street).
