WORKSHOPS + COACHING

Kai mann-robertson

Teaching Artist • Choreographer • Storyteller

Aussie-trained, Broadway-polished, now creating in the PNW

I’ve been the kid scribbling dance ideas on napkins - and the professional choreographer turning those scribbles into Main Stage productions.

Now, I help performers of all ages and experience levels find that same creative spark.

WHY SCHOOLS ++ STUDIOS HIRE ME

With 15+ years as a professional performer (Steps on Broadway, Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular, Beauty & The Beast, Saturday Night Fever), director (NY Theater Festival, Song Contest: The Almost Eurovision Experience), and choreographer (Throttle’s viral music videos 40M+ views, Gilligan’s Island: The Musical – Australian Premiere, UNDERGROUND)


I’ve engaged every type of student – from elite dancers to 800 primary school kids in arena concerts, even dads prepping for a surprise performance at their kids dance showcase. My secret? Blending rigorous technique with playful creativity across all disciplines – whether teaching hip hop, musical theatre choreography, or sneaking literacy lessons, teamwork and problem solving skills into drama games.

At heart, I believe storytelling transforms steps into art. Storytelling gives you the tools to develop empathy through acting scene and improvisation. Through storytelling, a collection of videos on your camera roll can become an industry recognized short film! I embody a mix of charismatic Aussie energy and a NYC precision mentality – stemming from my vast training at Melbourne's Ministry of Dance and performance industry mentorships meeting my intensive NYC training schedule with Steps on Broadway (Independent Artist Program), Broadway Dance Center, and further improv training at Magnet Theater.

MY TEACHING TOOLKIT

I’ve always aimed to be the mentor who turns "I can’t do it" into "Encore!" – whether working with a hoard of excited primary schoolers, reluctant teens, or corporate teams.
