Move And Mean It

AT MAMI, WE TEACH URBAN CHOREOGRAPHY ROOTED IN HIP HOP. WE AIM TO HELP EVERYBODY TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES THROUGH DANCE, AND TO BE FULLY AUTHENTIC. MAMI IS A SAFE SPACE. MAMI is founded by Keanu Wilson, a Bristol-based Hip Hop and Breakdancer who specialises in storytelling through movement. Keanu has always struggled with shyness, but on the stage he found he could communicate best. He has now performed in front of audiences in the thousands, and trained with some of the best Hip Hop companies in the UK as well as leading projects in Tunisia and Venezuela. Born in Kent in 1992, Keanu was athletic from an early age. He trained heavily in basketball before turning to dance at the age of 15, when he discovered Hip Hop and Breakdancing. Largely self-taught, he looked to expand his dance skills, regularly travelling to Pineapple Performing Arts Sunday Schools. At 16, he attended North London Dance Studio where he got his Performing Arts Diploma. He then began performing with Platinum Performing Arts and Impact Dance, companies which he is still a part of today and which have contributed hugely to his success and development as a dancer. MAMI is the culmination of his dream to help others learn to express themselves and have confidence in their own skin.
