Everything happens for a Reason

About Me

.. MySpace Profile Help!"Everything happens for a reason, just don't question the reason. God works in mysterious ways!" Born and raised to dance in Toronto, Onika is a dedicated member of RUKUS Dance Troop. She has been dancing for over 15 years. Onika,also known on stage as Dimplez, has been trained in Caribbean Folk and Hip-Hop; and has a natural talent and passion for Reggae. A graduate of York University, Onika has also performed across Canada, United States and the Caribbean. She is fortunate to be under the study of Diana Webley and Luther Brown; and has worked with choreographers such as Tanisha Scott, JaeBlaze, Fatima Robinson and HiHat.Since the wake of her dance career, along with RUKUS, Onika has entertained at events such as B.E.T.’s Spring Bling and Big Tigger’s Celebrity Sports Weekend, and won numerous competitions across Toronto including Marc Ecko's Getting Up Festival- Dance Competition. She has also performed at various live stage shows and awards shows dancing back-up for artist such as Sean Paul and Kardinal Offishall. Blessed by her talents, Onika has done videos for almost everyone from Rihanna to Puff Daddy. Her dancing has also taken her to acting as she has been featured in the movies Honey, Centralia (Silent Hill) and more recently in the upcoming film Step. Continuing with the success of RUKUS and herself, Onika stays humble and always ready to be cultured. She is grateful for all the lessons learned, thankful for all the opportunities given and blessed to teach others. Onika is definitely part of the Toronto Movement.
