Who’s That Lady? Ms. Chyna Williams!

By -
I’m always inspired by beautiful women whose light is an inspiration to me and to others. When one of those women catches my eye I have to look twice so that I can get to know her and what she’s all about! I want to know what makes her tick! What keeps her motivated to do what she does? How does she do it all, with all that she’s responsible for? You know, questions that run through your mind when you meet someone that just makes you say….ahhh!
Well, I’ve had the privilege of knowing one of these ladies since high school! We were the best of friends and we hung out together all the time. Those of you who went to school with us know what I’m talking about :-) Thanks to, yup, Facebook again, we have re-united and rekindled our relationship. When we got back together she had so much going on that I wanted to know all about it. When we lost touch she had one child, now she’s got five!! She’s got several successful businesses, is always on the go, and has a wonderful relationship with one of the most loving men that I’ve gotten to know. So I had to take a moment and introduce you to this lovely lady and hope that you are inspired to keep pursuing your dreams and desires just like she has!! 
Ladies and Gentlemen…Ms. Chyna Williams
1. Who is Chyna Williams? Check out this short intro. clip to find out!

2. What inspired you to get in to dance?
It started as a business investment. My initial partner backed out after all of the paper work was signed with my name, so I had to make a go of it. My daughter was taking dance classes at the time so I took it as an opportunity to  take control of her training. I took my common sense, business know how, drive and perfectionist mentality and applied it into, Chymes Dance Studio.
The fact that I wasn't a trained dancer worked in my favor because I had an eye for what the public wanted and sought to provide classes for that demographic. Although we offered traditional genres, I took street dancers and made them the base of my staff.  The concept of real hip hop classes took off! We became one of the most popular dance schools in Atlanta. From there I founded the Atlanta Dance Invasion, a “You Got Served” come to life hip hop battle,  along with Jeremy Strong and BeeJay Harris. The dance invasion became one of the most respected dance battles in Atlanta. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=60C0FC69647FBB38.
I then started focusing on the really talented young dancers creating the young superstarz, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlXw-UAd36s. They have been featured in all of the major videos coming out of Atlanta, including but not limited to, Kerri Hislon’s “Get Your Money Up”, J. Money's “First Name Last Name”, Whoop Rico, Jeezy's “My President Is Black”, and a host of others.
3. You recently had an event called, Chyna's All Whyte Party, tell us a little about that.Showcase_flyer(f)Chyna's Whyte Party was a part of the 5th Annual Choreographers Showcase. This event showcases the top choreographers in Atlanta. The event is sponsored by bloc South, the largest dance agency in the world and the choreographers who participate in this event are the who’s who of the dance world, choreographing for everybody from Usher to Ciara.
I had the privilege to attend this event and I have to say that it was off the chain!!! Azhia (Chyna’s daughter) did a fabulous job and I can see why her mom loves what she does. Lisa C~
3. How has being in the dance industry changed your life.
It has allowed me to enter into a world that is so exciting, and although I have 5 other successful businesses the dance world is the most fun.
 
4. Tell us something that you wished you knew about the industry before you got involved?
Honestly learning the industry has been part of the fun.

5. Tell us one thing that no one knows about Chyna Williams?
LOL, everything that people don't know about me I don't want them to know about me.

Check out Chyna’s daughter, Azhia in the video below gettin’ her own step on!

I hope you enjoyed the featured Lady of the Hour because you’ll be seeing more lovely ladies featured here on Lisa C Writes. You never know, you could be the next one!

My Monday Morning Started At 11:00PM...Last Night!

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
