I am David Waweru Kamau (Davidvid) a professional dance instructor, choreographer, performer and mentor with over 20 years of experience in dance. My areas of expertise include Hip-Hop, Breaking, Afro Dance, Afro House, Dancehall, freestyle and performance training.
Since beginning my dance journey in 2004, I have developed my practice through teaching, performing, choreography, competitions, workshops and mentorship. I work with children, teenagers and adults at different levels, from beginners discovering dance for the first time to experienced dancers preparing for performances and competitions.
My international experience spans Kenya, Switzerland, Thailand and New Zealand, where I have taught, performed, collaborated with artists and studios and worked with diverse communities. This experience allows me to bring strong technical training, cultural understanding, creativity and professional performance experience into every class and workshop.
Beyond the studio and stage, I use dance as a tool for youth development, confidence building, teamwork, discipline and creative expression. Through community programs, school activities, and outreach initiatives, I have worked with young people in different environments, including children’s homes and educational settings.
My goal is to create meaningful opportunities for people to learn, move, create, perform and grow through dance while contributing to the development of the next generation of dancers and sharing the culture of movement with wider communities.
My Story
I didn’t grow up with studios, mirrors, or the perfect stage. I started with whatever space I could find, sometimes concrete, sometimes grass, driven only by the music in my head and the dream in my heart. In those early days, dance was my escape, my challenge, and my teacher all at once.
It wasn’t easy. I walked long distances just to practice, pushed through setbacks, and kept showing up even when the odds were against me. Every battle, every performance, every moment of doubt became part of the foundation that shaped me.
What kept me going was the belief that dance could be more than movement; it could open doors, build confidence, and create opportunities not only for me, but for others too. That’s why I began teaching, mentoring, and sharing what I had learned.
Today, my story continues through every dancer I train, every performance I create, and every community I connect with. Dance gave me a voice, and now I use that voice to inspire growth in others.
