What keeps them coming back.

She believed in me even when I doubted myself.

Dancing with Kezea has changed me both as a dancer and as a person. From day one she believed in me even when I doubted myself. She has a way of bringing out the best in all of her dancers, helping you push past what you thought you were capable of. Because of her, I've gained so much confidence and love for dancing.

Even after moving an hour away, I still made the trip.

Kezea is one of the most creative, patient, and dedicated people I've ever met. Her passion for dance is absolutely contagious, and her teaching strikes the perfect balance between challenging and fun. Even after moving an hour away, I still made the trip to attend her classes.

First-timers

For dancers who are just starting.

You will end up taking styles you could never have pictured yourself doing.

As someone who started dancing in their 30s I was nervous the first time I walked into Kezea's class. About 10 minutes in I felt nothing but a group of people wanting to learn and being given the tools and directions we needed to let us dance. I've rarely had a teacher in any setting strike the balance between when to push and when to adjust for a class, and Kezea manages to walk the line very well. You will end up taking so many styles you could never have pictured yourself doing because of Kezea's enthusiasm for everyone's dance journey and growth.

She made me fall in love with dance.

Kezea's K-pop class was my first ever introduction to dance. I had just moved to Canada and I was looking for a fun thing to do while meeting new people. Kezea not only made me fall in love with dance, but I've made so many friends through her classes and hangouts. I'm so blessed to have met her.

She helped me feel confident in ways that go far beyond the studio.

I took a few advanced drop-in classes with Kezea one summer with no prior experience, and she was such a great teacher I was able to start at that level in the fall. She is one of the most talented, iconic dance teachers I've met, and she helped me feel more confident in myself in ways that go far beyond the studio.

You are more capable than you think.

When I first joined her heels class, I had very little experience and was honestly quite nervous. Kezea created such an empowering environment that I found myself growing more confident with every session. As I prepare to teach my own heels class at university, I've made it my goal to carry that same energy into my teaching. If you're hesitant: take the leap. Kezea will show you that you are more capable than you think.

Her infectious energy made me fall in love with dance.

I was really stepping out of my comfort zone when I first started dancing, but Kezea created such a welcoming and supportive environment that I felt right at home. Her teaching style and infectious energy truly made me fall in love with dance!

Community

A room where you belong.

The energy in the room carries you through.

Kezea's classes have such a unique, high-energy atmosphere that really pushes you to dance your best. I keep coming back because the environment is so motivating and the growth I've seen in my dancing is undeniable. If you're nervous to try it, just know the energy in the room carries you through and you'll leave class feeling so inspired!

She's going to push you to dance better than you ever thought.

The fabulous energy that Kezea brings to each of her classes is unmatched. Doesn't matter if it's your first class or you've been dancing for years, she's going to push you to be able to dance better than you ever thought, all while building an amazing community with the best vibes ✨

If I'm not there, people notice.

The first thing I noticed about classes at Kollective was how welcoming of an atmosphere Kezea created. At my previous dance studios it felt like nobody really cared, but at Kollective if I'm not there people will notice, in a good way. It's a wonderful safe space from all the toxicity and competition often found in other studios.

100% guaranteed a good time.

Taking a class from Kezea means you're 100% guaranteed a good time. She has a way of making every person in the room feel included and seen, which is exactly why I keep coming back.

She's the kind of instructor you go to not because of a schedule, but because you genuinely want to.

Her classes are unique in that each time they're not just a workout, but a full-fledged experience. Each class is different — the style, delivery, and mood change, and it never feels like "the same old thing." There's no pressure or fear of making mistakes — on the contrary, you're encouraged to try and learn. She doesn't just teach you movements; she helps you open up, feel more confident, and enjoy dancing. Time flies in her classes. Sometimes I catch myself wishing it could go on longer and never end.

She sees the potential in you before you see it in yourself.

Kezea never fails to make class both fun and challenging, always pushing dancers to be their best. She has a natural ability to see the potential in you before you see it in yourself and bring it out, often by pushing you just outside your comfort zone. She has undeniable main character energy, yet never makes anyone feel smaller because of it. Instead, she creates a space where people feel confident, supported, and inspired to grow. What really sets Kezea apart is her commitment to growth — not just as an artist, but as a teacher. She's always evolving, and that shows in every class and every dancer she works with.

Woman of the year.

Using a women's studies degree for female liberation through dance is so incredibly bad ass. Thank you Kezea for all you have done to help me feel more confident, free, and expressive in my body.

When she treats her dancers as the most capable version of themselves, it becomes true.

Kezea is everything you could hope for in a dance instructor. She pushes people to be the most confident versions of themselves because she leads by example. She has a magical confidence that inspires the people around her, and when she treats her dancers as the hottest most capable version of themselves it becomes true. If you are looking for a place to learn to really love yourself and create connections that will last, her classes are the place to go!

Helena C.

Student

Her classes don't feel like classes.

I think what makes Kezea's classes different is the inviting and fun energy she brings. Her classes don't feel like classes with the great and supporting community she's built, but more like we're here to just have fun and dance. At the same time, she also helps you improve on the details that would make you feel more confident with your dancing.

Harvey I.

Everyone's biggest cheerleader, inside and outside the studio.

Kezea is always a pleasure to be around, both inside and outside the studio. She is everyone's biggest cheerleader, and she truly cares about every single one of her students. I'm so grateful to have Kezea not only as a mentor, but also as a friend.

She makes you feel like you can do anything.

I love taking her classes because it's not just about learning choreography, it's about feeling comfortable, growing and enjoying every moment. Her energy makes every class so special and the environment she creates makes you feel like you can do anything. She puts so much faith in her dancers, which makes the whole experience incredibly welcoming and truly makes you feel like you belong. Genuinely her classes are my favourite dance classes I've ever done. Being part of a performing class is hard sometimes but the way she goes about teaching and encouraging us to do the more difficult things is really motivating. She doesn't make dancing look intimidating and tries to explain the moves in a way someone who's never danced before can understand.

She will push you further than you thought.

She believes in me more than I believe in myself.

I've learned heels for 5 years now from various teachers and I can honestly say Kezea is one of the best teachers I've ever met. She believes in me more than I believe in myself and pushes me to get 1% better with every class. She pays attention to every single student and will correct bad habits when she sees one. My favorite part is her pep talk to give us that confidence boost so that we walk with our heads up high inside and outside of the studio. If you genuinely want to get better, improve your posture, gain confidence, and embody that feminine power, look no further — Kezea will get you there.

She's your biggest cheerleader for dance.

Kezea is one of the most encouraging dance teachers I've ever had. Not only is she your biggest cheerleader for dance, but a genuinely great person. She provides structured, fair feedback with positive encouragement, and her support has been a big part of my dancing journey.

She used her own time to help me.

Kezea is an amazing teacher. She saw me struggling in her class and helped me one on one, using her own time to give me the extra help I needed. She challenged me in every class and helped me become a more confident, fiercer dancer. I believe everyone should try one of her classes.

Tanis A.

She makes us laugh through the toughest runs.

Gotta love our girl with a bold personality and even bolder choreography. Kezea constantly pushes us to realize we are capable of more than we think and has a rare gift of making us laugh through the toughest runs. Thank you for making us feel like the baddest b*tches, even in our stumbles. 🖤

She pushes you to be the best version of yourself you didn't even know you could be.

Kezea is such a strong and powerful leader. She always strives to instill the confidence that she has in herself to all of the dancers that she teaches. Kezea truly pushes you to be the best version of yourself that you didn't even know you could be!

She truly comes alive in the spotlight.

Kezea is someone who has always stood out — not just for her talent, but for her bold, creative energy. She's a natural performer with a fierce stage presence that draws people in, and she knows how to channel that same energy into helping others step into their confidence. She pushes dancers to fully commit, take up space, and perform at their absolute best. From my experience training and dancing with Kezea, it's clear she's strong-willed, self-assured, and deeply in tune with her vision. It's exciting to see how she continues to evolve and make her mark.

She puts in the work and doesn't stop until she achieves it.

Kezea is truly one of the most dedicated and driven people I know. When she sets her mind on something, she puts in the work and doesn't stop until she achieves it. I've been lucky to witness her journey in dance, from making formations together in our comms classes to being part of all her rec pieces, and now watching her open her own studio. Seeing her grow and bring her vision to life has been incredibly inspiring, and it really means a lot to me to have been part of that journey with her.
