My daughter started working with Kailena after suffering a heel injury while dancing. Kailena worked one-on-one with her weekly (online) and helped to keep her body strong and flexible while healing. Her sessions were fun and engaging (even online) and her homework exercises were clear and helped build on everything they worked on in the session. Without her coaching and mentoring, I don't think my dancer would have competed this year! Once healed, Kailena helped her prep for the competition season and continues to work with her weekly on her acro and contortion poses. Her support and mentorship has meant the world to us this year! We can't say enough good things about Kailena!

Kailena is an amazing acro teacher! She really knows how to break things down so you learn proper technique and build real strength. Her focus on form, control, and safety makes a huge difference — you’re not just doing tricks, you’re doing them right.

She knows how to challenge you without pushing too far, and always makes sure you understand what your body needs to improve. Plus, her energy is super encouraging and positive, which helps you stay motivated and confident.

If you want to level up your acro with strong technique and smart training, Kailena’s the one to learn from!

Ms. Kailena is the best! My daughter is always so happy to see her which proves to me how great Kailena is with her. My daughter has been struggling with tight hip flexors and before we even mentioned it to Ms Kailena, she noticed it with her expert eyes on her own and prepared several stretches and exercises to help stretch and strengthen the hips. We look forward to more sessions with Ms Kailena and can’t wait to see additional progress. We recommend her to everyone.

Kailena cares deeply about her students and goes above and beyond to support them. Thanks to her guidance and encouragement, my daughter has grown so much in strength AND confidence. Her passion, dedication, and positive energy make a lasting impact. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact she has had on our lives! 

Kailena is an incredible role model who inspires my daughter like no one else can, helping her grow in strength, confidence, and self-belief through her genuine care and encouragement.

I have known Kailena for seven years now. She is responsible for my daughter’s love of dance. She has been a wonderful support system to our family and is adored by my kids. She does regular strength and conditioning sessions with my daughter. She helped her achieve her first 3 acrobatic arts exams safely and with distinction. She has cleaned and prepared my daughter’s solos, helping her place and get judges’s special awards. She has provided counselling, knowledge, emotional support and advice as my daughter pursues more competitive opportunities. She has also taken stunning photographs for her portfolio!!!!

Kailena is professional. She is safe and reliable. She puts tremendous efforts into staying current and achieving certifications to enhance her training abilities. She leads by healthy example and she is wonderful with children of all ages. Because she is a dance adjudicator, her inside knowledge has been valuable. The results of her efforts with my daughter have been remarkable.

We love Kailena and cannot recommend her highly enough!

Kailena's passion for dance shines through in each and every critique she has provided throughout the season. She has such a contagious energy that shines for all and inspires dancers and other judges alike to rise to her level of joy and positivity. No matter the obstacle, Kailena faces it with a smile and provides excellent technical and artistic feedback consistently throughout the weekend no matter the genre, age, or level of the dancer. Kailena is an eager learner herself, constantly seeking to improve her own skill set to better what she can offer to dancers, and steps out as a leader and team-player, taking on new roles and tasks anytime she's asked. Kailena is an incredibly valuable member of our Certified Adjudication Team.
