About the Instructor:

Born and raised in Sierra Leone, Ella Kanu discovered her love for dance at just six years old. After moving to the United States in 2014, she continued to grow her passion and later began dancing professionally in 2020. Since then, she has had the opportunity to perform with major artists such as Davido, King Promise, and Kcee.

Her dance style is rooted in Afro dance, and she is trained and continues to actively train in styles such as Azonto, Coupé-Décalé, and Nigerian street dance. Through her movement, Ella expresses culture, energy, confidence, and joy, celebrating the beauty of African rhythm while continuing to grow as an artist and performer.
