our story

The Company:

NK Dance Services LLC is more than an Igbo dance company—it’s a cultural movement. Rooted in the vibrant traditions of the Igbo people of Southeastern Nigeria, we teach, promote, and preserve Igbo culture through the universal language of dance.

We bring this to life through:

  • High-quality dance education that builds skill and confidence
  • Dynamic performances that captivate and inspire
  • Meaningful community engagement that unites people across generations and cultures

The name NK stands for Ngala Kwesili, a phrase that embodies pride, confidence, and swag.

At NK Dance Services, we channel that same energy into every class, workshop, and performance.

Our goal is simple yet powerful: to ignite cultural pride and inspire self-expression in every dancer and audience we encounter.

There is so much to be proud of. Join us—Ka-anyi gba egwu—let us dance.

Key Principles of Igbo Dance >>>

The Founder:

Kaosochi Obi has been dancing since the age of four, stepping onto the stage with a natural rhythm and passion that continue to define her today. Her lifelong love for movement evolved into a mission: to preserve and share the beauty of Igbo culture through dance.

While living in the UK, she co-founded the first Igbo Dance School in the diaspora with the Igbo Culture and Support Network (ICSN). From that foundation, she created Egwu Oganiru, an award-winning dance troupe that became a cultural force across the UK.

As a teacher, choreographer, and troupe leader, Kaosochi earned recognition as a multi-award-winning dance educator and cultural ambassador, captivating audiences and inspiring students with her artistry and dedication.

In 2015, she relocated to the United States to begin a new chapter. NK Dance Services is the continuation of her vision—a platform where passion, culture, and community come alive through every performance and class.

As a wife and mother of three beautiful children, Kaosochi juggles motherhood, her career, and the many hats she wears with grace. Entering 2023, one word resonated deeply within her: Find what brings you joy… and do it. Reflecting on this, every desire led back to dance. With renewed purpose, she reinvigorated NK Dance Services - not only as a way to honor what she loves most, but to inspire others, no matter their age or circumstance, to step out boldly and pursue what brings them joy.

For Kaosochi, dance is more than movement—it is identity, heritage, and joy. Dance is her logo.
