Kezea Shayne Gamboa is a dancer, choreographer, instructor, and the founder of Kollective Khaos Dance. With over 10 years of dance experience, she has trained in a variety of styles including Hip-Hop, K-Pop, Commercial, and Heels, with a passion for helping dancers build confidence both on and off the dance floor.
Originally self-taught, Kezea spent years learning through online videos, workshops, intensives, competitions, and mentorship opportunities across Canada. Her dance journey changed in 2021 when she discovered Heels dance while attending Wilfrid Laurier University, a style that challenged her, empowered her, and ultimately became one of her greatest passions.
In 2022, she became the Advanced Burlesque Instructor for the Wilfrid Laurier University Recreational Dance Program, where she choreographed and directed showcase performances for over 35 dancers. She later joined The Underdog Dance Corp, teaching Heels, Commercial, Hip-Hop, and KPOP while helping students develop not only their technique, but also their confidence, performance quality, and stage presence.
Beyond the studio, her choreography and direction span music videos, concerts, and community work:
Choreographed & directed the music video “Be the Best” by Princess Anne Inyang, casting and coaching dancers to embody a message of empowerment and faith.
Performed and choreographed live concert sets for artists such as Spitty & Sonaali (“Kush” and “Lies”) at major festivals, including Desifest Toronto 2025.
Designed and staged large‑scale showcase performances, ensuring every dancer has their moment to shine.
Led dance workshops in local high schools (e.g., St. Mary’s High School), inspiring and training the next generation of dancers.

Her mission is to build a community rooted in discipline, artistry, and empowerment, where dancers push their limits, own their presence, and grow together. When you train with Kezea, you don’t just learn choreography, you live in it.
