“Passing on all the information that I’ve learnt during my studies and travels, is also the greatest feeling that one can achieve. I taught At St. George’s College for Boys (High School), also at a few other institutions like the University of The West Indies, Dance Society, The Modern Dance Center, The American International School of Kingston, Jamaica, The Bahamas Dance Theatre, The Musical Peacock and a few Community groups.
The Bahamas will always be my home so teaching and dancing there will always be a wonderful experience, But in the main time i will follow my dream to be an Actor/ Dancer or world Performer. I’ll Impart all my knowledge of The Caribbean to as much of this worlds hatchlings as I can, about Caribbean Dance and it’s Culture.”
“Dance While You can I will not stand to the side and allow the music in my heart to fade away and die. I will dance to my own life song!!”
