ABOUT
Founded by dancers and choreographers Rina Chae and Zed Zufable (aka Mr Zee, Zed), En Beat Dance Academy offers an alternative to traditional dance academies by offering foundational classes, events and workshops in styles that have typically not been taken seriously by the industry, including street dance styles (hip hop, popping, waacking, house) as well as commercial forms like choreography, jazz funk, heels, and K-pop.
The Academy offers mentorships each year — which support dancers through craft and career development — and offers training and audition opportunities to become K-pop idols. Through their commercial talent agency, they support their dancers in getting booked for commercials and music videos.
