Kaiti is a unique artist who displays a natural groove inside her bones. Specializing in all areas under the hip hop spectrum, she allows her knowledge in funk, jazz, West African, dancehall, breaking, popping, locking and house to contribute to her one-of-a-kind style. As a physical and visual artist, Kaiti also unites her skills to create contemporary performance. She performs, trains and competes locally and internationally while continuing to teach across Western Canada.
