The best teachers are those
who show you where to look but don't tell you what to see. -Alexandra K. Trenfor
Kioa Delos Reyes – Director
Kioa is the founder and director of Lost Tribe Dance Studio.
Kioa started dancing at the age of 17. Although he got a late start, he rapidly gained favor within his first year of dance by joining a hip hop academy, teaching workshops at BYU-Idaho, and winning different competitions. Being a freestyle dancer first, he was able to create content and learn multiple styles before getting into the choreography world.
He has also trained in other styles of dance including Ballet, Modern, Contemporary, World, and Polynesian styles. He has become very well rounded which has helped him create award winning hip hop choreography for many studios and schools across the nation. His crews have opened up for many different names like The Beach Boys JABBAWOCKEEZ. Dance has allowed him to travel all over the nation and to different countries like Canada, Costa Rica, and Panama.
When not at the studio, he enjoys spending time with his family (Wife and three daughters), playing volleyball, and cooking delicious meals.
Classes he is teaching:
- Delta Force Crew
- Rogue Nation Crew
- Snow Pack Crew
