ABOUT ME

I am Israel Akposida Johnny from Nigeria, currently based in Prague.

For as long as I can remember, dance was my life. Since there are no official dance studios one could rent and practice in my country of origin, we used to come together on the street to share energy, connect with one another and learn from each other. This is the vibe I would like to share with you all! I am here to use my gift to bless people, teach them and share my knowledge of my culture and dance styles around the world. Regardless of people’s differences, creativity, and talents.

I have a wide range of skills and I am involved in many art fields as:

  • dance artist – all style dance e.g., afrobeat, street dance, contemporary, latino and ballroom, ballet etc.
  • choreographer – see below
  • event and shows planner
  • director of music and dance videos
  • dance, aerobic fitness instructor

Besides leading dance workshops in many European cities (such as Prague, Bratislava, Vienna, Berlin, Zadar, and Bern). I am also proud to have several awards and achievements.
