Meet your artistic director

Kayla Mone’t

Artistic Director · AfroFusion Flow & AfroFusion Fire

Born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, Kayla Mone’t discovered her passion for dance at just three years old. At 16, while attending Appomattox Governor’s School, she was selected to train with the Joffrey Ballet in New York City. She continued developing her craft at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA), studying dance, musical theatre, acting, and voice.

During more than a decade in New York City, Kayla built a diverse career as a performer, choreographer, educator, and creative artist. She has performed and choreographed alongside artists including Toni Braxton, Ruger, Lil’ Mama, and Nailah Blackman. Her work has been showcased at Madison Square Garden, the Apollo Theater, Times Square, the Hampton Coliseum, and the Fillmore, and featured on national television.

Beyond the stage, Kayla has taught dance in schools, shelters, and nonprofit organizations, using movement as a tool for education, empowerment, and cultural expression. Now back in Richmond, she is committed to giving back to the community that raised her through choreography, teaching, and mentorship.

As Artistic Director of AfroFusion Flow and AfroFusion Fire, Kayla brings more than two decades of dance experience and a commitment to creativity, resilience, and purpose. Through movement, she tells stories, inspires young people, and celebrates culture. Her work helps participants build confidence, express themselves, and connect with the rhythms and stories of the African diaspora.
