Yana
DancE Instructor
(#LKDLYANA)
Yana is a professional dancer and choreographer from Ukraine.
"Throughout my 7-year experience in the dance world I had the chance to create and perform for various artists on national TV, solo concerts and music videos, hold regular Jazz-Funk and High Heels classes in the biggest studio of Western Ukraine and devoted a huge part of my career to competition dance teams - both being part of several crews and mentoring my own.
K-Pop grabbed my attention after my favourite choreographer Brian Friedman posted Itzy’s “ICY” on his Instagram. From that point on Itzy became my ult and I got more and more involved into K-Pop, from just listening to various groups to taking part in competitions and filming dance covers with our team.
I really can't wait to start teaching at LKDL and am so happy to be part of it and to dance with everyone!"

Selina Qing
Dance Instructor
(#LKDLSELINA)
Growing up in Toronto, Canada, Selina began dancing at 4 years old, starting out with ballet, jazz, and acro. As a preteen, she found a love for K-pop, which led her to start dancing hip-hop and commercial styles starting from age 12, which she hasn’t stopped doing since!
She became a K-pop dance instructor in 2017 after being asked to teach as a part of a K-pop cover team back in Canada, and over her time there, taught over 100+ drop-in and private classes to both beginner and intermediate students alike.
Teaching dance is one of her favourite ways of enjoying the hobby, as she loves helping her students gain confidence and improve on their skills over time.
TWICE is her ultimate bias K-pop group, but she also is a fan of artists like NCT, ITZY, Sunmi, and EXO (having been an EXO-L since their debut almost 10 years ago!).
Outside of class, Selina is currently finishing her undergraduate degree at UCL and you can often find her teaching weekly classes or in performances for UCL’s Kpop Society.
VENUS Liu
Choreographer / Dance Instructor
(choreography Class Guest/cover)
Venus is one of our teachers covering our choreography class and she will be sharing her own original choreography with us in the dance styles ranging from Jazz Funk, Commercial and Heels.
Typically, you’ll find her training at BASE Dance Studios amongst other established dance studios and she is known for her full-out strong performances and amazing memory.
Caring a lot about her students, she really “goes for it” and always encourages her students to do the same so that they feel empowered when they dance and leave class feeling confident.
Venus came to London from Hong Kong 2 years ago to study theatre arts which has enabled her to become aware of body movements and “feelings” when choreographing dance pieces.
Having trained in the dance styles of Jazz Funk, Commercial and Heels, she favours these dance styles the most and says:
"Steps are not that important as long as you got your groove and can feel the song properly! Dance is a journey we take together and we will work hard to learn the steps and have fun!”.
Although Venus's cover classes will be more choreography, she is no stranger to K-pop having come across them from when she was in high school and had since became obsessed with Big Bang and of course G-Dragon.
She used to do girl group K-pop covers for her old dance group.
More recently she has been pursuing her passion for Commercial industry dance training.
