Haki will teach you how to master your own movement. Whether you are just starting off, or an advanced student, I'm here to help you become the best dancer you can become!
Through Choreography exercises, Freestyle development, Choreography Retention, and Health/fitness training, I'm here to help.
Ever want to learn how to dance? Choreography your own routine? Freestyle to your heart's content? With Haki, I guide students through my unique methods of choreography and freestyle.
TIER 1 (ALL skill levels): Through mobility/strength training, I will help you learn how to take care of your body so that you can dance full out!
TIER 2 (BEGINNER FRIENDLY): Through these lessons, I will teach you how to dance. From grooving to learning dance combinations, I will introduce you to dance. This is a great tier for beginner dancers looking to start!
TIER 3 (ALL skill levels, LIMITED SPOTS): Through my freestyle sessions, I help students discover their own unique movement - by guiding them through exercises and drills. My goal is for students to feel comfortable in their own movement.
TIER 4 (ALL skill levels, LIMITED SPOTS): Through my choreography sessions, I help students learn how to choreograph (utilizing my techniques) in order for them to reach their individual goals (ex: making their own dance, finding their own dance style).

"My experience with Haki and working with Robert was a refreshing experience. Robert wanted to create a teacher-and-student relationship that would be able to continue post-program that leads to a friendship where students can reach out to Robert for help or whatever it is the student needs. Robert frequently opens space for questions and allowing the students to express their ideas which allows a comfortable environment to work and learn in. His energy and excitement to guide students shines through and has made the program feel less of a training course but a friendly hang-out that allows both groups to exchange ideas and grow together. If you ever decide that you need a mentor or teacher to help become comfortable with your own style of movement, I would recommend Haki regardless of your experience in dance."

Student of Haki - Freestyle Development (Tier 3)

"The knowledge and techniques I’ve learned through Haki have enabled me to become intentional about my freestyle growth - I now feel more aware of my own movement, and of how I can challenge myself to be more creative and dynamic when freestyling. Robert did an amazing job of creating a safe and collaborative space, where I was really able to focus on exploration and growth. Robert also adapted lessons to cater to my goals, and provided insightful feedback along the way. Initially, I was hesitant (and nervous) to commit to a freestyle course, especially virtually, but I’m really glad that I did. Having completed Haki’s freestyle development course, I’ve gained a diverse “freestyle toolkit” to continue experimenting with, and a new dance peer and mentor!"

"Haki is a program that is specifically tailored to fit your needs & achieve your goals as a dancer. The insights you gain from Robert will stimulate exponential growth in your dance journey regardless of your starting point. I never thought my movements could become dynamic and that I would be comfortable choreographing to an alternative music genre. I have made incredible strides and feel like I'm closer to perfecting my dance style as a choreographer. Which I used to think was nonexistent."
