Meet Kea Tesseyman of KEA Dance Center
If you're looking to tap into your creativity and explore dance in a welcoming, supportive environment, Kea Tesseyman’s KEA Dance Center is a must-visit in Camden. For over 20 years, Kea has shared her passion for dance and movement, offering classes that cater to dancers of all ages and experience levels in a non competitive and judgement free environment.
Kea’s journey began with a love for dance as a form of self-expression, and over the years, she has trained with top professionals in NYC, LA, and Boston. Her teaching approach blends traditional techniques with contemporary storytelling, offering a space where individuals can explore their own energy through movement. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned dancer, Kea's classes offer something for everyone.
This fall marks the exciting launch of Kea's Grit & Grace Dance Life Podcast, a must-listen for teens and young adults passionate about dance. The podcast provides actionable steps for navigating the dance world, behind-the-scenes insights from Kea’s international dance experiences, and interviews with industry professionals. It’s a powerful resource for dancers worldwide looking to grow in their craft.
Beyond teaching, Kea’s studio is committed to giving back. She’s producing the Grit & Grace Repertoire Show on December 14th and 15th, showcasing studio favorites from two decades of her top choreography. All proceeds go toward the KEA Dance Scholarship and Performance Fund, which helps students who can’t afford dance classes. Kea’s studio operates with a “no student turned away for inability to pay” policy, and this fundraiser is vital for keeping that mission alive. Tickets are available online for this can't-miss event.
Whether you're looking to rediscover your passion for dance or want to support a great cause, Kea Tesseyman’s KEA Dance Center is where movement, creativity, and community come together.
