Cheryl is a published writer, magazine model, and award winning dancer and choreographer. She has been training and performing in many forms of dance for over twenty years and has spent years studying movement and dance theory. Cheryl has continued her training to specialize in the Egyptian style of dance by studying with many of the best dancers in Egypt. She has incorporated the graceful movements and unique staging of ballet into this in-depth study of Egyptian movement, culminating in the innovative and graceful styling that makes her a popular performer across the United States and beyond.
"When Cheryl dances, I think of a long wave of sparkling water. Her moves are so fluid. She is refreshingly different; a style of her own. It is unusual to see this kind of confidence and musical interpretation at any age, at any point in time. She is special."
