Janet, Nerial’s sister, recounts the passion-filled conversations they would have in which Neriah would talk about her travels abroad where she would attend workshops and listen to the stories from the pioneers in her field. She would get an understanding of what dance meant for them and notes on how to improve her own technique on the dance floor. She saw the technical parallel's with the dance moves being used in music videos that influenced her students and was inspired to educate her kids and bring the two closer together. Neriah would talk of her vision to make dance accessible to everyone regardless of a dancers shape or background. She felt that there was a gap in the current education system of dance which at times refused to recognise her art form as an equal to other fields of dance. She hoped to develop her own dance company and balance the provision of alternative dance through her own company where she could bring together her years of experience, research and education for others who felt the same way. Neriah did not realise how good she was at dance sometimes she was not as confident as she should have been. She travelled to America to enter the Charleston world championships but got cold feet at the last moment and did not take part, a decision she later regretted when she watched the competition. "I was better than the winner" she declared on her return home. She was extremely proud of her family she would often give details of sisters achievements in the street dance competition and of her sisters band. Mr Brooks recalls walking off the dance floor during a summer dance concert this year when three women walked up to them and said to Neriah that she was the "best dancer" that they had ever seen. Mr Brooks knew it and believed it too. Sadly this was the last time Mr Brooks saw her dance.
