ABOUT

Hello, I’m Leilah. I am a movement coach, dancer and physical theatre artist based in South Africa.

​My lifetime love affair with dance and performance has lead me to evolve into a curious and passionate facilitator of alternative movement methods and disciplines. I help people become aware of how to move their bodies efficiently and aim to inspire fresh perspectives, approaches and attitudes to daily life and how we choose to move through it.

​My mission is to inspire, empower and celebrate the creative within you, through a movement practice.

movement Practice

Movement Practice offers unique physical conditioning experiences that provide students with strong foundations of physical, mental and emotional awareness.

Inspired by alternative movement methods, contemporary dance and improvisation.  Based on three pillars: PLAY, DYNAMICS & CURIOSITY

Born from the desire to create an inclusive and accessible space in which to offer a multi-disciplinary movement practice to any body curious enough to investigate their own practice further.The intention is to develop a deeper awareness of self and others, build an adaptable and empowered body and mental state and encourage investigation into your movement practice so as to generate fresh movement possibilities as well as approaches to life situations in general.Developed and facilitated by movement coach and dancer, Leilah Kirsten, whose mission is to inspire, empower and celebrate the creative within you through a movement practice.
