Chevon Ayende

There is more to me than beauty. My mind is filled with the divine on many levels of consciousness. Take a trip and explore my mental and take a class with me, it will stimulate your spirit and open you to a better way of living. I love people, nature,art, dance and above all music. I love meeting other dancers, musicians and choreographers. I enjoy teaching creative arts therapies for healing. I am a group fitness instructor and dance instructor. I teach Zumba, Bellyfitness, Samba and Salsa classes. I enjoy making people open up to love themselves more. My experience teaching has shown me many are not happy with the body they are in or are afraid of it. My classses build better self esteem, self confidence, technique, self love, better tone and muscle. You will learn how to dance and have  lots of fun. I love people with God first in their life, spirituality and everything else second. Never think about the problems! Know that you are resolving them daily and everything works out. Action changes the course of all things. The wheel of fourtune is in God's hands but we have the choice to take charge or let it go. Let God worry about the problems, take plans of action to resolve, be thankful for everything and fight for what you want just dont hurt people in the process. Live in Light and forgive and keep it moving. Change is inevitable! Thank you, Father God and my ancestors for life. Wow the world always rejects us just dont reject yourself.
