About Sifa

Movement Graffiti employs passionate and gifted instructors who educate others through example and determination. We are motivated by educating students and performing with those of all levels, and backgrounds. Our philosophy is to encourage students to feel secure about their bodies and talents; to create and environment where they can create and learn choreography well while displaying the traditional and classical techniques. We constantly stay informed of current dance moves and trends, integrate them with appropriate styles and make sure my students are aware of their bodies and progressive development. We have keen eyes for the implementation of necessary physical adjustments for various body types and alignments. So everyone can dance without limits.

Founder and Director, Sifa received her formal dance training in New York City at The Dance Theatre of Harlem and Hunter College where she majored in Dance. She has studied and learned to instruct many other dance forms such as Contemporary, African,Caribbean,Theater and Hip Hop. Sifa enjoys being a well rounded artist and has received vocal training from theater actors Cooper Grodin and Bettina Sheppard. She also learned to play guitar at NYC Guitar School and has performed at many venues in New York City. Her love for physical preservation led her to pursue certifications in Mat and Reformer Pilates, Personal Training as well as Zumba. As a committed member of the dance community, Sifa covers some of the Tri-State Area's major dance events like The Dance Theatre of Harlem's Annual Gala and The American Cancer Society's Dance Against Cancer Event as a freelance writer for The Network Journal. Sifa has choreographed for Ferdinand Dejesus, Peridance Capezio Center, 60x60 Dance, The Annual Dance Parade, Roses are Dance/Columbia University and Movement Research. She has danced for Derek Mitchell, Hot 97 showcases, Ferdinand Dejesus, Maya Azucena and has danced with the National Dance Theater Company of Jamaica. Sifa is also the founder, choreographer and producer of Movement Graffiti, a dance film/Afro-Contemporary dance project she created in September 2012. Sifa has recently choreographed for and performed in The 2018 Estrogenius Festival at The Kraine Theater in New York City and with Keigwin and Co. for their “Dance At The Gym” series. She is eager to take her education, performance and experiences to new heights with love, humility, consistency and dedication.

I have been trained in all major dance forms by The Brooklyn Music School, The Dance Theatre of Harlem and The CUNY Hunter College Dance Department.

About the lesson

I like to learn about a new student's experience and goals. It's very important for me to know if a new student has had prior injuries. This helps me to asses any possible limitations and work on modifying any movement. Eliminating any nervousness or anxiety is always beneficial as well.
