🚨 We’re coming to NYC!!! 🥳
Thursday September 10th
2:00-4:00pm
Open Jar Studios on 48th & Broadway
💃🏻Only 15 spots available!

This is a neuroscience-backed approach to training that guides you in reorganizing how you feel inside- and outside of the studio. This focuses your energy on becoming a more connected, centered dancer who knows your WHY!

It’s going to be an incredible 2-hour workshop, open to anyone looking to deepen their experience with:

✅ movement
✅ mental health
✅ physical wellness
✅ emotional control and currency
✅ daily habits
✅ and the art of storytelling!

You are absolutely going to feel so good in your body, mind and soul 🙏

Normally a 5 hour workshop, this is a bite-size tailored version for the busy New York dancer. I am excited to meet the crew interested in my approach to wellness-first dancing, and to share my playbook with all of you!

👉 Please email me (or dm me) to hold your spot at [email protected]. (We have space for 15 dancers, first come first serve!)

Cost: I am a strong believer in supporting students regardless of economic stability. So I am offering a sliding scale, “pay what you can” rate ($15-$55), OR - an option to trade a video testimonial for your workshop experience instead. 🫶

❤️ I value messages of strength and hope and sharing those with dancers everywhere. You have a powerful story to share, which is why I’m coming to the city - to meet you, and help you share it! Your testimonial can reach young people far away who need to feel seen and heard too— other dancers who need assurance that safe training and mental health is as important as leaps and turns!

I can’t wait to bring my method to and to dance with you!! 🤩 YAY!

BIG hugs!

Studio Sessions: Walk through of one of my favs “Outro” by M83

I keep getting requests (and reminders) to show my in-studio process (which I rarely ever do) so here’s some actual footage of me walking this dance through in the spring before our last show!

🙏 By sharing this, my hope is that young dancers at home who want to get a feel for what it’s like in the studio will get to try these pieces out and then feel more comfortable and confident coming into the studio for actual classes!

🤗 Always thinking of the newcomer and I want the studio to be welcoming and inclusive!

Have fun learning! Also- tell me if you want more of these videos in comments 👇or suggestions on what you want to see! I like mixing it up!

I have a zillion of these, onstage footage from years and years of shows!

Side bar- 25 pieces I choreograph each year over 24 years…that’s a lot of dances. (Sometimes two shows a year) Lots to pick from.

🌟 Make requests if you have favorites you want to see again!

Episode 05 Q&A with dancers brought up a lot…on many subjects. I think dancers need to hear this- but also any teens too.

Tune in for real talk and lived experience. I address:

✅ How to build confidence
✅ How to handle negative people, and take your energy back
✅ How to prevent injury AND recognize burnout
✅ And some other pretty funny topics too!

Check it out on YouTube, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts!

Dolly, you will be so missed. This world lost an angel, a warrior, a human being like no other that gave and gave and gave.

The least we can do is try to live up to one ounce of the integrity, artistry, determination and generosity you showed to people everywhere.

What a power of example forever you will be. 🙏

👀 If you missed it last week, watch “Ep 04, Habits, Part 1 of The KEA METHOD”, to get the science and the WHY behind why we need to be habit stacking especially — if you’re a dancer!

📌Let’s get organized, get accountable and get to work on achieving your goals and making gains!

👉 This episode 04 of lays the solid foundation of:
1. Why you need habits and routines throughout your day
2. The science behind habits, and
3. How they make you - a better dancer? Well yeah- duh- but they make you MORE RELIABLE AND PREPARED in any dance space.

❤️ Next week is Part 2, where I share ALL of my personal go to routines! Don’t miss it!

Let’s get things organized so our actual studio time is incredibly productive and feels good too!

🙏 Kea’s tip for dancers: Be an asset, not a drain. Take in the choreographer’s vision, don’t distract the class with your bad attitude. Know what’s right for you and what’s not. Show up fully and present!

👉Watch full Episode 04, link in bio!

🫶 FREE DOWNLOAD! What habits do I need? Funny you should ask! I have a free downloadable program for dancers to get my top five habits and it walks you through what, how and why you need them!

Come get ready with me! This past weekend was and it was SO much fun!🥰

I take you through my morning routine and prep for dance and fun from the day! It was SUCH a good day!

😍It was awesome to have my dancers join for this pre season training before fall hit! So great to see these teens and get to work with them! I loved their energy and attention and willingness to dive into the material and connect and share about it too!

✨We had special guests from Boston join us to train as ambassadors for assisting me in workshops on the road!

Some of these fabulous humans are fresh out of college who are craving to get back in the studio ᴀʙʙʏ ʜᴀʟʟ maddy and annie💫🪴 and they all bring so much experience and energy to the table!

I also have two alumni joining the team! Two of my long time assistants from my own studio who have also helped me as I developed iteration after iteration of the workshop.

These talented and incredible individuals are bella! and Sadie Luehman who are both currently in college, assisted me Exhale Dance Experience and Stonehill College.

More to come on ambassador training, for now, I’m excited to take this on the road to studios everywhere!

👉If you want to learn more and set up a free consultation call, hit the link in bio and it will take you right to my consultation page and you can get on the phone with me about bringing the method to your studio!

🌟I can’t wait to meet you and work with you or your dancers!

Ep 04 just dropped! 🔥”Habits for Dancers”: Pillar 4 Part 1, of The KEA METHOD!

ARCHITECTURE OF LIFE! Focus on the systems you have in place rather than just the goal 🙏🧘🏻‍♀️🌟

This entire episode is dedicated to author, thought leader and massive inspiration that changed my life- James Clear

In this episode I share a personal story about how I was in a really tough place at one point and after listening to the audio version of the book “Atomic Habits” and being introduced to the teachings of Clear, my entire life went through a revolutionary change and the many pieces of the puzzle I was trying to connect (recovery, mental health, teaching, running a business, and just understanding and coming to love myself) all came together.

My Dream is to one day meet Mr Clear and thank him in person for the impact he’s had on my life!

Dancers (or anyone) this episode is everything I learned from reading (or at least everything I could fit into a 35 min ep) and compiled points but from the view of a dance teacher and mentor to so many teens struggling to get their own days in alignment and feel good about themselves, let alone dance training!

😉 If you know me, you know that I live by the habits I stack to make it through my day so I can show up my best self (as often as possible.)

We are not perfect, (and we shouldn’t strive to be) but progress and growth IS important.

🫶 Especially if I want to achieve my goals and dreams, and make a positive impact in our world, I have to get myself in order.

I also want to be the best dancer and teacher (and mom and partner) I can be and I rely on my habits to make that possible.

🙏 Please go listen to the full episode and if you haven’t already subscribe to my YouTube channel.
Also please check out Atomic Habits and James Clear !

As always, you’re beautiful and I’m proud of how you’re showing up for yourself today.

Stay tuned, please drop a comment of support, a like, a share, it all helps to get my message of strength and hope into the hands of others who may need it more than we know.

With love,
Xo Kea 😘
