Jedidah Akinloye
Jedidiah is a dancer and choreographer based in Calgary. His journey in dance began at the age of 9 through musical theatre, and over the past 12 years, he's developed a deep passion for various dance styles, particularly Hip-Hop, R&B, and Afrobeats.
For the past four years, he has been a dedicated member of the MASSES X S.O.D. crew, where he has had the opportunity to grow and evolve as a dancer under the guidance of talented choreographers like Sho Thyme. This experience has shaped his style and deepened his appreciation for the rich culture and history of Hip-Hop dance.
Jedidah's dance journey has led him to numerous performances and teaching opportunities, which has landed him here at Soul Connexion. He is excited to be a part of the team and to learn from the students just as much as they learn from him.
