While still performing, Kenichi has found a new passion for teaching and choreography and continues to invest his time in sharing his creativity with dancers in New York and beyond through his classes and projects.
Class Description:
Kenichi's classes focus on musicality, movement
quality, and precision. Heavily choreography based,
his experimental movements are based on the
foundations of Hip-Hop, Popping, House, and Jazz.
Every class is filled with some brain teasers and
bad jokes that will turn all those stressful and
intimidating moments to joy!
