In The Author's Corner With Etienne

Charlita Schuster is one of a kind when it comes to developing the potential of children. A former dancer & founder of her dance studio, Music in Motion School of Higher Dance Education, Charlita goes all out for the children in her hometown of Fredericksted, St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. An invitation to participate in a dance concert at Disney World allows 5 of her young students to participate in a televised Christmas event by ABC TV.  Charlita has always been closely associated with our local youth. She's the guiding force behind providing professional dance training to the children of the Virgin Islands. Charlita’s career was molded from an early age. Her family moved from native St. Croix to New York City where she was able to take advantage of the available opportunities. From an early age she trained with the Children’s Ballet at Carnegie Hall & graduated from the NY High School of Performing Arts.
