    Event description

    We're so excited to announce Kaytii Insanity's Sydney workshop! 

    Presented by Aus Dancehall Community, True Jamaican Dancehall and Sydney Dancehall Community.

    Straight from Trenchtown, Kingston, global Dancehall star Kaytii is exclusively in Australia as
    part of the 2024 Australian Dancehall Dance Competition Tour.

    Kaytii holds the fort as one of the female stalwarts of Dancehall art and culture today in
    Jamaica, imbuing her creations with the real emotions of her lived experiences. She is an
    outspoken advocate for her peers and challenges the cultural imperialism Dancehall is often
    subject to. We're beyond grateful to have her on our shores.

    Bio 

    Starting her dance career as a child, Kaytii began as a Reggae dancer. She was eventually
    introduced to Dancehall by Sashi Empire, formerly a member of the Xpressionz family.
    She was a pioneering member of Cuban Squad from 2008, creating powerful, sharp moves
    during this early female Dancehall period and refining her craft in the Kingston Dance Halls.
    Kaytii consciously changed the face of New School female Dancehall with her hit move Appeal
    in 2017, as a retort to the body and chronic illness discrimination she faced in the Jamaican
    entertainment history.
    From that time on, Kaytii's oeuvre has definitively focused on creating moves that unlock a
    woman's sensuality and strengthen her relationship with her body.
    As a teacher and mentor, Kaytii brings expertise across Old Skool, Mid Skool and New Skool
    male, female and Queenz styles and history. She is a highly sought-after long-form teacher and
    globally recognised dancer and MC, teaching global courses on Dancehall technique, culture
    and moves. Her tour credits to date include Europe in 2019 and 2022. She has also MCed
    Jamaica-based Dancehall Mecca twice.
    A former member of Kimiko Versatile's Versatile Ones before going her own way, Kaytii brings
    extensive experience in dancing with crews and as a solo artist. Her expertise has led her to
    judge multiple Jamaican and international Dancehall dance championships.
    Kaytii placed second with her first crew Insanity Girls in her first competition (On The Verge) and
    second in the World Reggae Dance Championships with Outshine Girls.
    Kaytii is a frequent collaborator with her contemporaries Inspire, Smilez and Reda, and Mama
    Blazzaz. She has also been a main dancer for the Boom Energy Drink squad, with Darkie and
    Happy Feet, for over a decade.
