Layode Francis

I've spent over 20 years in dance and the creative industry, alongside more than 15 years teaching, coaching, coordinating groups, and leading creative projects.

As founder of The Funk Yard, I built and led a hip-hop dance community, coordinating participants, creative activities, engagement, and development. I also founded Ark Of Montreal Empire (AOME), an entertainment brand centered on dance and creative arts.

I've delivered dance instruction and choreography across schools and universities, helping learners build confidence, discipline, creativity, and performance skills. My work includes classroom management, communication across age groups, performance choreography, and creative project support.

I'm remote-ready and bring customer service, sales and client relations, operations support, community management, social media support, administration, event coordination, and online coaching to collaborative teams.
