Shartoya Jn.Baptiste

Born and raised in the picturesque island of Saint Lucia, SHR’s spark for dance ignited from the age of seven. Her dance training extends from Caribbean dance styles to modern dance. She has represented Saint Lucia at numerous regional and international Cultural Dance Exchanges, and has performed and choreographed for national events, the Caribbean Premier League Saint Lucian cheerleaders and multiple soca artistes.

One of her biggest accomplishments to date is “The SHR Experience” – a one-day dance workshop where international choreographers visit Saint Lucia to teach various dance styles, and in turn, learn a Saint Lucian cultural dance. The proceeds from The SHR Experience are injected into the Saint Lucian dance community.

When SHR is not performing, she can be found in a theatre or studio creating scenic designs for plays.
