With professional training across ballet, jazz, hip-hop, modern, African, tap, and contemporary, Kenya’s approach blends technique with soul, encouraging each dancer to find their unique voice through movement.

Under her leadership, EMD has grown into a powerful, purpose-driven community where every dancer beginner or seasoned competitor is guided with care, intention, and high standards. Kenya is known for building confidence on and off the stage and creating unforgettable performance experiences that reflect discipline, creativity, and heart.

“Dance is the language I teach our dancers to speak, not just with movement, but with purpose.”
