LINDA (THEY/THEM)

What makes The Kiz Lab stand out to me is how much more inclusive and safe it feels compared to other kiz classes in the bay. It’s why I felt like it was worth it to drive an hour each way just to attend. As someone who is gender non-conforming, usually leads, and who uses they/them pronouns, never did I feel like I was being left out, out of place, or not welcome to just be who I am. Everyone is encouraged to learn how to follow and lead regardless of gender. We switch roles often. As a result, socials feel like a safe space to explore and are more fun because you’re in a room full of students who are comfortable switching back and forth between following and leading. In my experience, Jessica has been super receptive to feedback, and is great at thinking of creative ways to teach different concepts. If you’re thinking of giving urban kiz a try, The Kiz Lab is a great place to explore!

ARMANI (SHE/HER)

Learning core concepts is a key experience for me in The Kiz Lab! I have the opportunity to elevate without leaving my "backyard". I'm so grateful for the information, expertise, knowledge, and community that comes along with TKL. I grew so much by attending the Level 1 & 2 Series, Practica-Socials, private lessons, and Taxi Team practices.

If you're needing space to increase your awareness and subtleties of Urban Kiz, TKL is the GOAT.

BABSY (SHE/HER)

The instruction I received from Jessica all the way in Albuquerque, NM was amazing. I enjoyed the fun and culturally competent approach she takes to teaching Urban Kiz and even providing historical context to Kizomba vs Urban. I still have a long way to go… she and her team provide a solid foundation to fall in love with the dance, while learning how to be in tune with yourself and your partner.

I've had such a positive experience with The Kiz Lab! It really has been a safe, inclusive space where we can have fun with dancing and grow our skills. Every time I've taken a class with Jessica I've found something to learn or fine tune my skills because it's more than "just following" or patterns. I'm a better dancer thanks to the Kiz Lab.
