‘This year is looking bright
She’s more than ready to continue working with her team, Concept of Movement’ and also individually as an artist.

“Great things come only with willpower, belief, and love in the art that you create. I want dancers to see dance not only as a movement but also as a therapy for themselves. Dance is beyond movement”
Cheryl Lofreda to teach in Switzerland
‘She’s now traveling again for the second time to Switzerland to teach and share her art with other fellow dancers.
