I had a pleasure working with Sherema on her company cultured movement. What is cultured movement? You asked, it’s a “Cultured Movement is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to provide Cultural Competence Via the Art of Dance as a means to serve girls by promoting healthy bodies, self esteem, positive self image, cultural awareness and a higher consciousness of DANCE as an art form. ” each year I help, I get to learn about entrepreneurship from both Sherema and Ksyn. Then the kids did four songs to dance too.

Then, there were two awards giving out to ksyn and a little girl that has her own skin care line. She used to be a cultured movement girl. She also has her own show at 12. That’s pretty amazing at 12 and starting early. Then ksyn has her own company and dances with big stars that you probably listen too, music videos that you probably saw her in. Then at the end of the hip hop segment it turn into a dance party where the parents can embrace and dance with their kids. It was a perfect end to a great show.

You can tell they put their blood, sweat and tears in their performances. Sherema jungling being a traveling nurse and running her own company. Which is inspiring every time I work with her. I wouldn’t trade it for the world and one day own my own company like she does it so effortlessly.

where do I begin? I discovered sammie on Twitter when I broke my foot dancing. I had friends but everyone has their own life. You know when ustream was a thing, he would literally record and write on ustream making mixtapes. It may sound weird but I felt like I had a friend while I was stuck at home with my broken foot. After that, I was just intrigued about him. Fast forward to two years ago when sammie and tank went on tour together. I was like yes, both of my favorites on tour together . I went so hard for the both of them that I lost my voice and my throat hurt the next day. But, it was worth it cause they put their all on stage and I met sammie after the show too. Now, let’s go back to last night, he put on an amazing show and I wouldn’t expect anything less. But, I got to meet him again. I got him gummy bears cause I knew that was his favorite. I got him gummies and I was excited to give them to him then I realized it was Swedish fish I was ready for the show. It felt like r&b heaven that i would relive again if I could. thank you sammie!! & i recommend his shows and music cause he gives his all in everything he does … His IG is sammiealways snap chat is sammieleighbush Twitter:

Justin Timberlake is a man of many talents. You probably have seen him in movies, music, clothing, etc. he’s soon to be a father of two with wife Jessica biel Timberlake. He makes sure he tours twice to each city. On stage Justin is unapologetic and appreciative to his face and family. The Man of the woods tour he had the stage , like you were outside. He brought outside inside. He started off with flithy and sexyback, Love stone, ( stuck his togue out), man of the woods, say something, breeze off the ponds, midnight summertime, like I love you, senerita( sp) cry me a river, until the end of time, another love song. He dj and played piano on certain songs . Justin Timberlake has the energy like he is 21 all over again. I’m surprised he is not burnt out cause he does it work. I admire that about him.

She started this company because when she was a little girl dancing. Sherema always wanted to start a free dance classes for girls in the Bronx. So, Then finally started her dream and did her own company for the youth of NYC.

Cultured Movement does fundraisers and showcases. So, the girls can show alll their hard work to their family at the Alvin Aliey company.  We set it up for their parents like being tape  and pictures.  Then,  fundraiser was at Harlem Shake, were we gave out free books and the girls did a little dance. Sherema used my ideas  at the showcases and fundraisers.( thankful for here.)

I had pleasure working with her and grateful for giving me a chance working in my dream job. Allowing me into her company and being the nicest soul I’ve ever met.

 

 

 

Pump Camp with Aisha Francis was an experience that I will never forget. I learned to squeeze from the pus, flip my hair like no other, and to sit on my hip.

Aisha’s energy is so amazing and she is always smiling. She does the routine with everyone as a whole group and then separates everyone into groups. The groups go from 5 to 3 to 1 person dancing the routine. Everyone in the room is cheering you on. The people taking the class are cheering you on and helping you record your video of the dance.

Pump camp goes from floor work , to basic heels, and chair dance. You can do it for your man or whatever you are into. She always told me to practice at home and use it on my man. ( little did she know I didn’t have one. Lmao ) Every time I went to class every month when she used to come to NYC. It was for all levels of dancers. I highly recommend this class.( obviously or I wouldn’t take it. )

comfortably in my own skin & class not so much comfortable..

all the way comfortable bloopers and a lot of mess up.

I have no regret taken this class and was the best decision I’ve made. The growth from taken was needed.

What I can say about Miguel? another tour he pulled off gracefully. Miguel leaves his heart and soul on stage every night when he performs.

On March 23,2018 I got to see Miguel for the fourth time and see him grow as an artist. Miguel went from opening for usher,trey songz to headlining his own tour.

Miguel makes sure everyone is on the same vibe and free to be themselves and enjoy the show. He preformed songs from all four albums throughout the whole night. One of my favorite moments was when Miguel did thrusts while singing and maintaining eye contact with the love of his life. I was in awe with both of them. I witnessed that real love in person. That made me want that and to have someone that support each other dreams.

My second favorite part was when he brought up his brother on stage and they sang a song together

As you can see in the video and he was always smiling and wanted people to vibe. That’s someone that I’m an awe of. Watching him grow as an artist is pretty dope. I’d see this man perform again in a heart beat and I highly recommend seeing him perform.
