Honouring The Mighty Sparrow through movement. 🕊️

Jab in Shape founder Chrislyn Lashington 🇬🇩 teamed up with Chanel 🇬🇾of for a short Bèlè dance tribute to the Calypso King of the World at in Little Caribbean, Brooklyn New York.

We moved to “Jean and Dinah,” one of Sparrow’s most iconic songs that many of us grew up hearing before we fully understood the deeper social commentary behind it.

For Chrislyn, this tribute carries an added personal connection. Sparrow was Grenadian, from the same village as her grandparents, making this moment feel even closer to home.

Through Bèlè, we honour the rhythm, the storytelling, the wit, the complexity and the cultural legacy that Sparrow gave to the Caribbean and the world.

From Grenada to Trinidad to USA, our culture continues to move.

Rest in power, Mighty Sparrow. 🌺

We brought Bèlè to New York! 🇬🇩💃🏾

Beautiful moments from Sweat Fete 2025 at Baisley Pond Park in Queens, NY, where Jab in Shape founder and instructor Chrislyn Lashington shared Grenada's traditional Bèlè dance with the community.

Through rhythm, storytelling and movement, this Afro-Caribbean dance connects us to cultural heritage, to each other, and to our bodies.

This is the heart of Jab in Shape: using Caribbean movement to educate, uplift and connect people across borders.

From Grenada to New York and wherever the diaspora gathers, our culture continues to move.

This is culture in motion. 🌺

Culture is wellness.
