Kieren Day’s passion for the arts started at the young age of five and he has since turned that passion into his career. Kieren attended York University for their BA Program in Dance and has extensive training in Jazz, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Contemporary, Ballet, Musical Theatre, and Tap. He has successfully graduated from the four-year teaching program with Dance Masters of America, doing his exams in both Ballet and Jazz. This is Kieren’s ninth year teaching for Moving Art. He also worked with the Mariposa Skating Company teaching some of their off-ice programs, and has been lucky enough to be a guest teacher/choreographer in places such as North Carolina and Michigan. Kieren has also become an active member of the Professionals Adjudicator Alliance and looks forward to adjudicating more dance competitions. Kieren has won various awards at competitions around Ontario and in the United States for his creativity and unique choreography. He is proud to have received other notable awards such as “Artist of the Year” from Simcoe County’s LGBTQ+ Community, as well as two THEA awards for his role as Choreographer for local productions of “Honk!” and “Mamma Mia”. Outside the classroom, Kieren is very involved in the theatre community, from choreographing several musicals to performing in a few himself!
One of Kieren’s favourite performance experiences was dancing down Main Street in Disney’s Magic Kingdom for a parade celebrating dance around the world. Kieren strongly believes there is always room to learn and grow in one’s craft. Kieren looks forward to another fun year and wants you to get up and MOVE IT!
