Jhala Martin
Studio Dance Instructor
My name is Jhala Martin and I’m from Detroit, Michigan! My passion for dance started when I was just two years old and I’ve given my life to the art ever since! I was a student at Red’s Star Dance in Clinton Township for a few years until I attended Michigan State University. For four years, I took rigorous dance classes, instructed students through movement, and choreographed for a showcase.
I am now a member of the company the INstitute of Dancers located right here in Lansing! I have had the opportunity to train with professionals in the dance industry, shoot concept videos, and audition for numerous agencies.
Lastly, I have 1-2 years of experience in childcare, teaching, and child development. Including this, I am certified in CPR and First Aid. I am so grateful to be an addition to KIO and I can’t wait to go on this wonderful journey with my students!
