Turning Passion into Power
Dance has been a journey of self-expression, learning and connection.
What began as a passion has grown into a career spanning dance education, performance, choreography, fitness, sport and youth development across different countries and communities. Through teaching, mentoring, workshops and creative projects, I use movement to help people build confidence, develop skills and discover their potential.
Every class, performance and opportunity to work with others continues to shape my journey and the impact I hope to create through movement.
About Me
My Story
My name is David, and dance has been part of my life since 2004. I started dancing at school simply because I loved it. Over time, that passion grew into something much bigger. I began teaching, performing, creating choreography and working with people from different backgrounds and cultures.
My journey has taken me from Kenya to Switzerland, Thailand and New Zealand, where I have taught, performed, mentored students and worked on creative projects. My experience now extends beyond dance into fitness, sport, youth development and movement-based programmes.
Where It Started
I did not have access to studios or many resources when I started. I trained wherever I could, including on concrete, in open fields and anywhere I had enough space to move. Sometimes I walked long distances just to find a place to practise.
Those experiences taught me discipline, persistence and the value of making the most of what you have. More importantly, they helped me understand why I wanted to keep dancing: to encourage others to believe in themselves.
Growing Through Movement
Over the years, I have performed on international stages, worked with artists and organisations, taught children, teenagers and adults, and prepared students for performances and competitions. I have also worked in physical education, sports and youth development, helping young people build confidence, coordination, teamwork and discipline.
This journey led to the creation of Davidvid Connect, a platform where I share my work, connect with others and create opportunities through dance and movement.
What I Believe
For me, movement is about more than learning steps or developing physical skills. It can build confidence, encourage creativity, create connections and open new opportunities.
My goal is to teach, guide and inspire the next generation of dancers, athletes, creatives and young people to believe in their potential and keep working towards their goals.
Where I Am Today
Today, I continue to teach, perform, create, mentor and develop programmes that bring people together through movement. Whether through a dance class, workshop, fitness session, performance or community programme, I want every experience to leave people with something positive to carry forward.
Welcome to Davidvid Connect.
This is where I share my journey, my work and the experiences that continue to shape me.

From Concrete Courts to Global Stages
I started dancing in 2004 with nothing but passion and determination. At the time, I had no access to studios, proper equipment, or even reliable transport. I trained wherever I could, on concrete basketball courts and grassy fields, because I knew dance was something I wanted to pursue.
To attend training at Mt View along Waiyaki Way in Nairobi, I would often walk or run more than 15 kilometres. I couldn’t always afford bus fare, but I refused to let that stop me. Every journey became part of my training and every challenge strengthened my commitment to dance.
Over the years, that commitment has taken me across Kenya, Switzerland, Thailand and New Zealand. I’ve had the opportunity to teach, perform, compete, and connect with people from different cultures through movement, music and creativity.
Today, dance means much more to me than performance. It represents mentorship, resilience, discipline and the belief that where you start does not have to determine where you finish.
My mission is to use my experience to inspire the next generation of dancers, helping them develop their skills, build confidence, overcome limitations and believe that their goals are possible.
