The Chiqlets Dance Team began over 12 years ago from Chiquy’s Zumba classes, inspired by students seeking more dance opportunities.
Named to honor Chiquy’s leadership, the group started performing at local events.
In 2020, Chiquy strengthened their bond with daily Zoom classes, keeping members active and connected during the pandemic.
Resuming in-person meetings, they became a community staple, performing regularly at events like the July 3rd Street Dance and National Night Out.
With diverse members united by a love of dance, the team values integrity, compassion, and acceptance.
