ABOUT WYKERIA

Wykeria is a passionate educator, accomplished dance teacher, and visionary business owner. She serves as a dedicated science teacher, while at the same time, she pours her creativity and expertise into teaching dance. Her most proud accomplishment is being a proud mother of her two children, Jaidyn and Jordyn. While being guided by her unwavering faith, Wykeria attributes her success to her deep trust in God and often reflects that she is nothing without Him.
Her love for dance has been a lifelong journey. Wykeria’s natural talent and determination allowed her to excel through school dance programs from 7th grade through college. These experiences ignited her passion for teaching and inspired her to use dance as a tool for empowerment and self-expression.
Over the years, Wykeria has worked with dancers across Birmingham and the surrounding areas, fostering artistic growth and personal development. In May 2022, she fulfilled her dream of opening Wykeria’s Dance & Performing Arts Studio (WDPA) in the historic district of downtown Birmingham. With a mission to inspire and transform lives, WDPA provides a space where students can explore the arts of dance, music, and theater in a supportive and empowering environment.
In the fall of 2024, Wykeria expanded her vision by collaborating with a close friend who specializes in theater. Together, they created *Candyland*—a theatrical production featuring acting and dancing that showcased some of Birmingham’s most talented individuals at the Carver Theatre. The show was a sold-out success, marking an exciting milestone in Wykeria’s journey.
Wykeria often reflects on the calling on her life and acknowledges that "all it took was a call and an answer." She wholeheartedly accepts the call and is excited for the incredible journey ahead. Her vision remains for every individual who enters the doors of WDPA to feel inspired and leave ready to conquer their dreams.
