THE LINE DANCE QUEEN
My name is Cheryl Williams, a native Houstonian born in the Kashmere Garden Area. I've had a passion for dance since I was able to walk. My first exposure was in the kindergarden. I would get bored and dance and sing in class until my teacher started putting me in the corner. No one knew what to do with me...I was a mess! It was at my Homecoming Dance in 8th grade were i first discovered a proper outlet for my creativity. I was exposed to line dancing and also Swingout or 2-Step (as it it sometimes called). I was so amazed and quickly inspired to learn. I took my new found knowledge of these dances and began teaching around the neighborhood. "It's been on every since"!
After graduating from high school, I took a long break from dancing for several years. Little did I know it had changed a lot from when i was in high school until I started going out and clubbing again. I still had the rhythm, but there were more moves, spins, turns, and steps which were a little different from back in the day. It wasn't until a guy asked me to dance at a local Houston club and started putting on his fancy moves and turns that my desire to dance was revived. I thought he was trying to embarrass me, but I soon realized that he knew I could dance and was only trying to bring it out of me. Well, it worked! Since then, I create my very own line dances and enjoy sharing my talent with others. I still enjoy dancing at clubs and I'm known as "The Line Dance Queen" when ever the DJ's see me. When you see me putting together my elaborate footwork, please know that this comes from my heart and soul and it is something that I love very much.
I have taught classes at Club Desiree and the Houston Area Urban League as well as a few colleges in the area during special events. I get invited to teach at parties, celebrations and weddings, just to name a few. I also travel often to other cities for line dance summits and workshops, which is one of the ways I keep up with the current line dances. I make many friends at these events and we are known for exchanging each other's line dances and ideas, creating a network all over the country. This is how dances such as, "Cupid Shuffle and The Twist" were spread throughout the country. I am also one of HTOWN'S ELITE SMOOTH STEPPERS and Line Dance Instructors and also apart of HULDA.
