Shaïna Kalila

is a Kizomba teacher based in London, who fell in love with this beautiful dance back in 2016. Her journey into the world of Kizomba and Semba began with an accidental discovery that quickly turned into a profound passion. Since then, she has been sharing her love for the dance with students, teaching at various venues and creating her own workshop-style Dance Experiences several times throughout the year.

Shaïna is deeply passionate about the unique qualities of Kizomba and Semba, both as a dance form and as a cultural expression. She adores the music and thrives on the social aspect of the dance, where connections are built through shared moments on the dance floor. What captivates her most is the powerful communication that unfolds through body movement, and the enchanting interaction between masculine and feminine energies.

Her dedication to the dance and her infectious enthusiasm have made her one of many beloved figures in the London Kizomba scene. Shaïna has nurtured some of the newest members of the Kizomba community with her founded Kizomba Dance Experience(KDE) where dancers can experience the joy of Kizomba in a fun, intimate & interactive environment. One thing you cannot miss with Shaina is her gleaming smile, lighting up the dance floor and not to mention her infectious laugh!
