Kiana Davalos is a self taught international dancer, choreographer, and creative director from Westchester, New York. Her passion and love for dance began ever since she could walk, and carried on throughout her life since. Without the luxury of being able to take classes when she was young, she took matters into her own hands and made “something out of nothing.” At the age of 13, when she first began, she did everything from performing at local events for the community and teaching free classes for the youth, to just simply dancing for herself within the comforts of her own home. Today, that same passion and drive to share and learn has opened some amazing opportunities to travel, perform and teach master workshops all over the world in places such as Canada, Iceland, Puerto Rico and even an International tour throughout China as head choreographer, artistic director and performer. Kiana has also been featured in Paper Magazine, Complex Magazine, New York Times, International Dance Battles, and World of Dance. As well as worked alongside some amazing sponsors such as Sprayground, Contra, Staple Pigeon, NBA sports wear, and artists such as TKAY, 070 Shake, Annalise Azadian, Justin Love, Wiz Kid, Akon, and Jadakiss. Kiana uses her networking ability, and passion for dance and the arts to reach out to different people of all sorts of artistic genres to exchange and collaborate. Working with others, has pushed Kiana to create in more ways than just dance- it led her to branch out into other fields such as her own brand “DVLS” standing for “Discovered Value Lifts Success”. Meaning once one finds their passion, and embraces all that they are- that is where true value and success is rooted from. Constantly driven, and inspired by her past and present, Kiana decided to make something that meant more than just a brand, she created a Lifestyle.
Her goal is to continue to travel the world, and share her knowledge, craft, and passion amongst anyone who is willing to be a part of the journey.
