About The Line Dance Queen/Retired
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 kindergarten. 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"! I have taught classes at clubs, corporate events, YMCA's as well as colleges in the area during special events. My classes includes student from all over the world, especially during the summer months. I have taught linedancers from Australia, China, Germany, Russia and the Philippians. My students travel to Texas from all over the world to join in our line dancing fun at several locations in Houston, Pearland, Lake Jackson and Baytown in Texas. I currently teach several classes throughout the week however not all are open to the public. I do this all while also holding down a full time job. I teach at parties, celebrations, weddings, family reunions and corporate events just to name a few. I travel often to other cities for line dance summits and workshops, which is two 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 others line dances and ideas, creating a network all over the country. This is how dances such as, "Cupid Shuffle, The Wobble and The Twist" were spread throughout the country. I am also the leader and co-organizer of Houston's own, Royal Court Line Dance Team. I treasure all of my awards and accolades, including my nominations for line dance of the year in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and Instrutor of the Year at the UC Star Awards in Baltamore. In 2014, I was named Line Dance Instructor of the Year for the ZBT Awards. I also was recently featured on NBC's, The Today Show in May 2013 and the CW in 2014. Praying for many more dance years to come! About TRC
