20 YEARS OF MOVEMENT

Home: Welcome

SINCE 2006

MAMAKEISH is not a drop-in studio.
Our programs are designed for students who value consistency, progress, and commitment.

MAMAKEISH began its journey in 2006 as a small group of K-pop lessons, at a time when K-pop training was virtually unknown in North America. Built on years of hands-on experience and deep industry understanding, this early foundation shaped what MAMAKEISH would become.

In 2018, MAMAKEISH KPOP ACADEMY was officially established as North America’s first dance academy with a primary focus on K-pop, setting a new standard for K-pop education and artist development.

Today, MAMAKEISH continues to provide structured training, performance opportunities, and a clear pathway for students who dream of growing as artists in the global K-pop industry.

WHY MAMAKEISH IS DIFFERENT

Train with purpose. Grow with structure. Dance with confidence.

MAMAKEISH is dedicated to enhancing the dance abilities of each student through a well-structured and progressive approach. The academy goes beyond dance, aiming to broaden students' understanding of Korean culture and diverse dance styles within Kpop, fostering a comprehensive appreciation for the art form. Benefiting from special affiliations with prominent Korean Entertainment companies like HYBE, SM, YG, ADOR, PLEDIS and more, MAMAKEISH offers its students a unique advantage in pursuing their dreams of becoming Kpop idols. Adding to the distinctiveness of MAMAKEISH is its CEO, Keisha Jiwon Kang, who herself underwent seven years of training as an idol and was on the path to debuting in a group. Leveraging her firsthand experience, Keisha imparts unparalleled knowledge to students, setting MAMAKEISH apart as a place where your "Dreams Become Reality."
