“Kiah taught me my first ballroom class. She listened to all of my concerns and made the experience a fun one. At first I was nervous, but she assured me we all start somewhere!”Gage F., student
About ZakiahBased in Los Angeles, CA, I am a dedicated dancer, choreographer, and instructor. My love for dance ignited in 2015 when I was accepted into the Eastland Fairfield Performing Arts Program in Reynoldsburg, OH, immersing myself in Ballet, Jazz, Ballroom, Tap, and Theatre during my high school years. Furthering my education, I pursued a B.A. in Dance with a Business Cognate at The University of Akron. My passion for dance extended beyond academia as I began teaching Hip Hop and Dance Fitness at local studios, including The Institute and The Recreation Center. Presently, I am a dance instructor at KIPP Academy of Innovation in East LA, and CreateNow. while also focusing on building my presence on social media. My ultimate dream is to inspire the youth through the transformative art of dance and continuously evolve as an artist by exploring diverse dance foundations to broaden my artistic horizons.Go to profile97OutstandingTop rated

“I realize that prior to taking classes with Mel'Keta, I had a completely different idea of what "belly dance" was. I now understand that it is a full body dance and not just the belly. She helps me understand the movement, the Rhythms, and the feeling which created a somatic experience for me. I enjoy being challenged, it allows me to tap into my mental resources that I dont normally use as well as strengthen my body. Taking classes has helped me become more comfortable moving as an individual versus a partnered dance that I was use to being led. Mel'Keta really helps me learn to be comfortable in my own dance and creative expression.”Deanna, student · shared by Mel'keta
