From creating dance routines in her living room at the age of 7 to helping thousands of people lose over 1 million pounds through her workouts, Keaira LaShae has become one of the top dance fitness trainers in the world.
LaShae, who became a professional dancer and choreographer at the age of 15, has always known that she would be dancing for the whole world one day. She kicked off her career by touring with some of the biggest stars in music, then eventually moved over to teaching Hip Hop cardio classes at her local gym. From there, LaShae created a YouTube channel focusing on dance fitness tutorials where she eventually went viral with over 16 million views on a “how to” body roll video.
Today, LaShae is a proud wife and mom of two with another baby on the way. With almost 1 million subscribers on YouTube, LaShae is more dedicated than ever to create a positive community for her fans. Through her platform, If You Can Move, LaShae continues to provide fun, innovative dance workouts and challenges each month that are filled with edgy moves and bumping music. Her next challenge kicks off on October 10, where participants can win a cash prize of up to $10,000.

BE: What is your most popular workout or dance challenge and why?
LaShae: My most popular dance/workout would definitely be my Hip Hop TABATA dance workouts. Those video views range from 3 million all the way up to 26 million views on each video! People really love that style because it’s challenging but so much fun with hype music behind it. How could you not enjoy yourself? It feels like you’re working up a sweat with your friends in the club and ANYBODY can do it! I always say “If you can MOVE, you can dance!” and that’s so true because of how I break down each move. We also repeat the reps so they are comfortable and confident during the workout.
Can you explain the benefits of your at-home workout programs?
The benefits of my at-home workout programs are that you can do them from the comfort of your own home so you don’t have to worry about anyone watching you. Sometimes people feel silly if they’re not the best dancer but I always tell my viewers that’s it about PASSION OVER PERFECTION! All of my workouts are just as challenging if not more challenging than the workouts at a gym and right now because of the pandemic, no one wants to be in a room full of people so it’s best to stay at home at get that WERK!
What differentiates your workouts from other existing at-home routines?
My workouts are way more fun than the average boring at-home workouts. Regular workouts always seem like a chore and my workouts have fun, edgy moves with great music so it doesn’t even feel like you’re working out! You realize it only after the workout because your muscles are feeling it and you’re dripping with sweat. Plus, you can take my moves to the dance floor!!
