Cheryll has been my dance teacher for over 8 years and has done everything for me from teaching me over 11 award winning solos to saving me from drowning in a wave pool. To me she is more than just a dance teacher, she’s my second mom. What makes Cheryll the best as what she does is that she doesn’t just do one style of choreography- her style for each dance depends on the abilities and strengths of whoever is in the dance. She doesn’t choreograph whatever she wants, she choreographs for you- to make you, the dancer, look good. Cheryll is tough, but with love. She will push you farther than you think is possible. She will bring you to your fullest potential. It’s weird because you’ll always be a little intimidated of her even after 8 years but it comes down to your respect for her. She isn’t someone to tell you fake compliments when you walk off stage, she tells you the truth, but you know she’s right (even if you mom says you danced perfectly) and that’s the only way you’ll get better. Basically, Cheryll rocks because she will do everything in her power to make you the best dancer you can be and knows how to choreograph pieces that will make you look even better than you really are. And she’s fun… sometimes.

I have known Ms. Cheryll for a long time. She cares for and wants the best for everyone. She brings out the best of each and every dancer she teaches. I, myself, learned so many things from her that I never thought I could do before. She pushes me to do my best all the time. I thank Ms. Cheryll for all the things she has taught me, has done for me, and most of all for believing in me. I have my ups and downs and she's always there to get me through it. Without her, I would be nowhere near where I am today. Although Ms. Cheryll looks intimidating, she is the most genial person and dance teacher you will ever meet. She is really a dancer's choreographer.

I came from a studio where I felt invisible, and when I came to Pointe Counterpointe, Miss Cheryll helped me gain confidence. She made me believe I was worth something as a dancer, and with that knowledge, I was able to grow so much, and do things I never thought I'd be able to do. Without her encouragement and her detail-oriented eye, I would never have become the dancer I am today.
