Lifestyle influencer and dance enthusiast, Ntumobe Chisom, popularly known as Cheesohm, has said her dance initiative, Dance with Cheesohm, was created to provide a safe and inclusive environment where people can freely express themselves while celebrating Afrobeats culture.
Cheesohm stated this ahead of the next edition of the dance experience holding today (June 27, 2026), at Alpha Fitness Studio, Lekki, Lagos.
The content creator explained that the initiative was designed to remove the barriers that often discourage people from participating in dance activities, particularly those who fear being judged because of their skill level.
She said, “Dance with Cheesohm is a safe space. Everyone who steps into the room is automatically a dancer. The space doesn’t judge, it doesn’t limit you, it allows you to be yourself.”
She noted that the long-term vision of the initiative is to encourage self-expression and confidence while making dance more accessible to people who may otherwise shy away from dance classes.
“Most people love to dance, but because they feel they are not good enough or are afraid of being judged by more experienced dancers, they stay away from dance classes. Dance with Cheesohm is meant to bridge that gap,” she added.
Cheesohm also stressed the importance of recognising the contributions of dancers to the creative industry, noting that many performers often feel undervalued despite the role they play in shaping popular culture.
She added that the initiative seeks to provide an outlet where dancers and enthusiasts alike can reconnect with the joy of movement without the pressure of performance.
