The Kea Method

dance performance training

Welcome. I'm Kea Tesseyman

My Kea Method Dance Performance Training weaves together a body mind self care foundation for dancers, with the power of story and dynamic choreography. I developed this method in my own studio and after wild success with over 1500 students and 75+ performances, I'm bringing this method to studios and students across the globe.

Motivational Speaking 

One of my greatest passions is sharing how I overcame what felt like insurmountable odds to get where I am today. I aim to inspire hope, release fear, strengthen mental health, and remind you to never give up on your dreams.

MEET the TEACHER

I'm passionate about helping you find your best, healthiest way of dancing in your body and becoming liberated in your own life's adventure of movement.

I've been teaching and choreographing dance for more than 23 years (15 owning my studio). I've worked with 1500+ dancers using The Kea Method, choreographed 450 pieces, and produced and directed 37 performances. Click to learn more about me and my work.

I feel like I've just roamed the earth looking for these products up until now. So grateful for you! 

The Kea Method has helped me to tap into my emotions and personal truth through dance to become a more powerful storyteller.

Kea's centering technique to take a second and calm down before going on stage, is so important to my performance experience.

Kea has given me the bravery, power, and wisdom, to deeply explore my own sense of self which has dramatically transformed for the better.

The love and support from Kea and her fellow dancers is so inspiring. I just can’t say enough about the supportive environment.

After this workshop I feel more in my body and mind than in the 10 years I've been dancing.

The way I dance with KEA has helped me to look past what I might not love about myself, and focus on the power I posses.

This Method has helped me to build so much confidence. I dance with freedom now, not worry or restraint.

Using The Kea Method techniques keeps me feeling really strong, centered, and energized during long studio hours.
