🎉 Exciting Announcement! 🎉
I’m buzzing to share that DYNAMIC DANCE (previously ChekYaMoves) is now officially a registered Community Interest Company (CIC)! 🌟
Entering this new era filled with gratitude and excitement as we enter a new chapter 2024 and beyond. I want to thank everyone who has been a part of the dance journey so far, either by attending my classes, workshops or just supporting this page. You inspire me every day! 👏🏽✨🔥
A special shoutout to my amazing co-directors @the1devotion_ and @jaleh_fallah for their support and guidance! You’ve helped make this dream a reality and I’m very excited to be working alongside you in the future ♥️✨
More surprises in store for you later this year, so keep your eyes peeled and stay tuned for updates. We can’t wait to share our exciting plans with you and continue spreading the joy of dance in the community ♥️✨
Thank you once again for being a part of my dance family and for your continued support. Here’s to new beginnings, endless possibilities, and a future filled with making dance accessible for everyone! ♥️✨
With love and best wishes,
Chekeré ♥️✨
💕🚧 Sneak Peak Alert 🚧 💕 A work in progress. Today in the Sharrow Youth Dance session we have been creating and crafting together a new performance piece! 💫 Blending together different styles of dance such as Hip Hop, the grace of Contemporary, and the energy of Dancehall, we’re cooking up something truly special! 🔥 Stay tuned for the final masterpiece 🎶🎵 #SharrowYouthDance #CreativityInProgress #sharrowcommunityforum #youthwork #youthdance #youthempowerment #youthdevelopment #danceworkshop #dance #sheffield #stefflondon #theatre #performingarts #creativedance #creativearts #youngpeople #sheffieldissuper
🌟🔥😎 Sharrow Youth Dance absolutely smashed their first performances on Saturday at Chance to Dance and Sharrow Festival! 🔥 Our talented young dancers poured their hearts into choreographies themed around female empowerment and friendship, and it was nothing short of inspiring. We are incredibly proud of their hard work, dedication, and creativity! Onwards and upwards—this is just the beginning! 🙌🏽
Huge thanks to everyone who makes this possible at Sharrow Community Forum, Parents, Family and Friends who support it making this all happen! 👏🏽✨✨. Let’s keep dancing and empowering! 💃🏽✨

🩷 sorry things have been a little quiet around here recently. We’re taking a short pause!✨ please read below 👇🏽
Over the next month, things may be a little quieter than usual. This is because me (Chekere 👋🏽) is taking some time to focus on the final stretch of my Masters in Youth Work & Community Development in Leeds 🎓 while I complete my research dissertation and everything that comes with it!
Balancing full-time work as the Youth Development Manager at Adventures Hub, studying full-time and running this nonprofit dance organisation hasn’t been easy to navigate 🫠. As much as I love being a busy bee 🐝 and working 6 days a week, it’s definitely been catching up with me… and honestly, I haven’t been my best self recently 🙃🙃
So, I’m choosing to take a short break to rest, reset, and give my studies the attention they need - so I can come back with full energy, fresh ideas and exciting plans for the rest of the year! 💫
This does mean that some classes and workshops will be paused temporarily, and responses to emails/messages may be a little slower than usual. If anything is urgent ‼️ please contact me directly via my mobile. Wednesday lunchtime ladies Aerobics’s will still continue as normal 🙌🏽
Being neurodivergent means academia doesn’t always come naturally to me hahaha, but I’m determined to finish this Masters and (eventually 👀) move on to a PhD!
Thank you for your patience, love and continued support…it truly means everything 💖 I already miss all my young dancers so much 😢
Take care, keep shining and KEEP DANCING! 💃🏽🩷💜🧡
Best wishes,
Chekere
Dynamic Dance Director
💜 Sharrow Youth Dance had the absolute pleasure of hosting an Egyptian Belly Dance workshop on Saturday with the amazing guest teacher Jaleh! @jaleh_fallah ✨💃🏽
