A MESSAGE FROM SHAYLA-RENÉ
I am thoroughly looking forward to the opportunity to work with your child(ren). I am a firm believer that dance is a creative form of communication. It allows us to express and connect in ways that the ordinary person does not. It translates to praise, unity and awareness of self.
Above all, it is the epitome of the fruits of the spirit as we work attentively, individually and collectively while developing rhythmic awareness and knowledge of self.
In 2015, in an effort to follow God's calling, I closed the doors of my studio, formerly Elsie M. Brown School of the Arts. This operation ran for 7 years with a minimum enrollment of 50 students per session. I knew that I would be led back to one of my drives, passions and love for providing dance education to all ages and levels.
4 years later I was able to see this manifest via Gombey's by Sonju! I look forward to contributing to the social, emotional, spiritual and physical development of your child(ren)
