ceijay kizomba

"Wow! How did he do that?" Just one of the many reactions that lead to naming Jean Guitho Paul, better known as Ceijay, as the Kizomba King! Born February 5th, 1984 in Haiti, Ceijay moved to the U.S in 2000 to continue his education and fulfill his dreams. The king of Kizomba began dancing at age 12 and became passionate about kizomba by age 20. Going on his fifth year as an instructor, his style is unique and his advanced moves allow the city of Boston to move comfortably to the sensual beats of Kizomba.

With the goal to have dancing facilities in many communities within the north and south shore of Boston, Ceijay's ambition is the promotion of dance as an art, hobby, physical activity and a means to achieving one’s goals.  Join Ceijay Kizomba and see what everyone is talking about!!!!
