The Class: Drop in and explore Afro-technique and African street styles with Keisha

This beginner-friendly class focuses on developing technical skills and fundamental movement through a choreographed routine.

Our mission is to learn, teach, and perform Afrobeats dance styles while connecting to the vibrant spirit of Africa and the joy it inspires. This class will help you build core strength, stamina, and rhythmic awareness—while most importantly, fostering a strong sense of community.


About Your Instructor:

Keisha, a proud Haitian-American Afro dancer, is your go-to source for unparalleled dance energy and joy. While her love for dance has always been undeniable, her professional journey began in earnest in 2017 after three transformative years with Boston College’s traditional African dance team, Presenting Africa To yoU (PATU). It was during this time that she fell deeply in love with African dance, igniting a lifelong passion for the art form.

✨As a co-leader of Afrobeats Dance Boston (ABDB), Lakeisha has solidified her presence as a semi-professional dancer and visionary in the Afro-dance space. She has captivated audiences across New England and beyond, including opening for Davido, performing as a featured halftime act for the Boston Celtics annually, and bringing her vibrant energy to weddings, schools, and corporate events. Her leadership and creativity have helped elevate ABDB to new heights, fostering a thriving community of dancers and enthusiasts.

✨Lakeisha is relentless in her pursuit of mastery, challenging herself by participating in classes across a variety of Afro styles and attending Afro-dance conferences worldwide. This dedication to continuous learning allows her to seamlessly blend diverse Afro-dance techniques into stunning, original choreography. Through her innovative approach, she crafts performances that celebrate the depth and richness of African dance traditions while infusing her own unique style.

✨Whether performing on a grand stage or sharing her knowledge in an intimate class, she aims to create an atmosphere of joy, freedom, and self-expression, a true Afro cultural ambassador.
