KEDA BREEZE - Director and Tutor


Keda Breeze was trained at Circomedia circus school in Bristol and also has training in many other areas of performance. She has been working as a circus, cabaret and burlesque artist since 2001 and is now at the top of her profession. Keda currently appears at top end events and private parties and performs nationally and internationally, as well appearing on TV, film, and in print.

Keda started running Pink Kitten classes in Bristol in early 2005 as she had had so many requests to teach her skills to other women. The unique combination of her exotic dance knowledge and her performance training meant that her classes were immediately a huge success. She found it hugely rewarding seeing the confidence and self expression women were gaining by learning these new skills which she too had gotten the same sense of empowerment from learning in the past.   As the school got many requests for classes from other areas she then handpicked and trained new teachers so that Pink Kitten could spread its wings further.   As well as performing and running the school, Keda still finds time to teach her regular classes and workshops in Bristol. In her classes students achieve more than they ever dreamed would be possible. She feels privileged to teach her classes because all the women who take part in them make them much fun and so rewarding.

Natasha started off her training by taking ballet lessons as a young child. Over the past 6 years she has taught salsa, hip-hop, street jazz and modern theatre dance, and has performed at the Royal Albert Hall and the Edinburgh Festival. Natasha taught herself a variety of dance styles and as a result is firmly of the belief that anyone can dance.

Her training predominantly lies in drama and acting, with qualifications from LAMDA and the Victoria College of Music. A member of the National Youth Theatre, she has also played major roles in a number of semi-professional plays and musicals and is therefore well placed to teach both dance techniques and the art of performance. Natasha loves to watch her students progress from the nervous 'can't do it's of the first half-hour to the confident performers of the last, and finds that pole dance and burlesque are a fun and exciting channel for this progression.
