Kayin Queeley - Teaching Acting

Kayin Queeley, born in the federation of St. Kitts & Nevis in the West Indies and now living in Montreal, Canada, is the founder of Montreal Steppers. He fell in love with the art form of step during his studies at SUNY Plattsburgh where he obtained a bachelor’s degree in International Business and a master’s degree in Leadership Studies. Kayin currently works at McGill University where he is engaged in his passions for student development, peer mentoring and community outreach. He unfailingly shares his love for step through his work with young people on campus and in other communities. Since founding the Montreal Steppers in 2019, Kayin and the team have performed at countless events and ran in-person and virtual workshops, both in Montreal and in the U.S. Through step, song, and spoken word, the Montreal Steppers center the importance of Black Lives, Black history/futurity and stories in hopes to inspire, strengthen solidarity, to be in good relation, to reimagine a just world where we can breathe, live, succeed, and thrive differently and together.
