LaKiesha Pham (pronounced La-Kah-sha) is a professional dance fitness instructor who has been teaching since 2012. She started teaching group fitness classes with Zumba and later added other dance formats, including Kids Zumba, Aqua Zumba, Night Club Cardio, and Soul Line Dance. In 2024, LaKiesha began teaching Soul Line Dance classes. In 2025, she launched her company, Dance Fitness with LaKiesha, in Spring, TX, where she currently teaches Soul Line Dance classes. Her purpose is to help dancers connect with their bodies and find joy in movement. Her slogans, “Helping you get off the sidelines and on the dancefloor” and “Building our community one dance at a time,” ring true for her students as they take what she has taught them to dancefloors outside of the studio—having fun dancing while popping their fans.
LaKiesha’s passion for dance fitness extends to her community work. She has partnered with the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, the American Lung Association, The Tim Tebow Foundation’s Night to Shine, Autism Speaks, the Texas Campaign for the Environment, and she also hosts her annual free Community Line Dance classes.
LaKiesha is known for her thorough teaching style and her ability to explain how to properly perform the steps of each dance. Her classes are designed to be fun and engaging for all levels, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced dancer. She also provides step-by-step line dance tutorials on her YouTube channel, Dance Fitness with LaKiesha.
LaKiesha is a proud alumna of Prairie View A&M University, where she graduated with a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies and a minor in Dance. When she’s not on the dancefloor, she is a homeschool mom, gardener, and a collector of craft supplies.
