ABOUT SHI CHARMING

A CHICAGO NATIVE 

Shi Charming grew up on the south side of Chicago and attended a Military High School. High school is where she established a sense of identity and knew her purpose was to lead and explore out of state options. Growing up on the south side of Chicago where many of her peers were murdered, engaged in drug addiction, serving prison time, or faced with unwanted pregnancies; she used dance as an outlet. Dancing was her safe haven . She couldnt imagine her life without it. It saved her from exploring negative coping mechanisms. “I Love Chicago, it will always be home. I just always seen more” she said.

“ I look at things in 4 year increments, like high school. ‘The first year you figure out how to execute your plan and you enlighten yourself about your new environment. The second year you follow through with plan and apt to said environment. The third year you should have successfully executed the plan. The fourth year you should reach a different level like graduation. Than can mean anything from coming up with a new goal or expounding on the goal you’ve already achieved.”

Listen, I know the power of dance and music; it saved my life, changed my perspective on life and took me further in life than i could have ever imagined.

My goal is to help others experience life beyond what they know.  I want them to express a positive creative outlet too. The sky is the limit! 

“Why walk when you can dance.”
