Institution/Business Type: Artist / Creative (Individual)

My name is Chefiatou Tokou aka Chefi, I am a Togolese- natural born dancer who has been teaching and performing professionally since 2000. I am the owner of the Simba African Dance Academy (SIMDACA) and the initiator of the new African Dance Move called SIMDACA MOOV (fusion of African traditional, contemporary and trending African modern dances from West, North, South and East such as coupe decale, afrobeats, afrodance, gwara gwara, zouglou, etc.) 

As a dance minister, my awareness of God in the individual  is what makes the difference in my class . The purpose of my unique dance program SIMDACA MOOV is to empower  all to connect to their inner power in order to express their uniqueness and talent. I have travelled to perform, teach classes and workshops in the New England area. During my class sessions and performance I love to have fun, therefore I infuse my fun, unique and creative personality to my dance in order to inspire  and motivate all age groups and all levels of dancers.
