Cherelle George
“Cherelle started her professional dance career dancing with a local all-female hip hop crew called “The Fly Girlz”. Dancing has provided her the opportunity to train with amazing teachers from around the world as well as open for some wel known artists.
Her love for her culture has always been a big part of her identity! Being raised by proud Trinidadian parents, it only made sense that she continued on with this path of greatness and focus on building something that fueled her 3 biggest passions- Dance, Soca, & Fitness.
Since creating this program, Cherelle has connected with some amazing people throughout the years and has been presented with many opportunities to perform with artists such as Kerwin Du bois (Trinidad and Tobago), Lead Pipe & Saddis(Barbados), Edwin Yearwood (Barbados), & Chucky (Trinidad and Tobago).
Cherelle’s mission is to share her love and passion for her culture. Her spiritual connection with Soca music is what she strives for every student to get to. Be prepared to be fueled by the riddims and Unleash Your Inner Bacchanalist”
