Welcome! My name is Amaya Lanae, and I’m a professional heels dancer, instructor, choreographer, and model based in California. I’ve held a passion for movement, expression, and creative exploration since a young age. That love for dance has only deepened over the years, and I’ve been fortunate to share it with people from all walks of life. Through this journey, I’ve come to understand the power of community and have connected with so many incredible creatives along the way.

I’m truly honored to be inspired by my students just as much as I hope to inspire them! I’ve been teaching independently since February 2022, and since then, I’ve brought my knowledge of the heels dance style to over 15 studios across the United States. My classes are designed to be inclusive, supportive, and challenging—a space where dancers of all levels can build confidence, express themselves freely, and push their boundaries through new movement.

I’ve choreographed for brands, artists, and events, pulling from a diverse background shaped by over 13 years of training in jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, and ballet. I also love collaborating with other creatives to bring visual concepts to life.

When I’m not dancing (which is rare, because im never sitting still—haha), I express myself through drawing, digital design, and modeling. Each new project helps me grow, and I’m so grateful for the amazing photographers and cinematographers I’ve worked with—they’ve truly helped build my confidence in this art form. I’ve modeled for clothing brands, concept shoots, magazines, and artist visuals, and I’m excited to continue growing and sharing my art with the world.

I currently share everything on all platforms ( Instagram, Tiktok, Youtube) . Here you can find behind the scenes clips, my projects, and class videos.
