Nika Chill LA Taylor Manning twerk class

Bio

Nika Chill runs the LA twerk beginner pipeline nobody else bothered to build. She's a working instructor who records her own classes, invites guest choreographers (Taylor Manning, Destiny Vaughan, Sarah Tequila), and publishes the full class on YouTube — no edits, no paywalls, no homework upsells.

The Chill Cheeks program is 10 free lessons that take a total beginner from first hip isolation through a full 30-second choreo. It's the most complete free twerk curriculum on the internet. Seriously. We link students there constantly when Discord questions come up.

Teaching signature

Nika teaches by body part first, not choreo first. Week 1 is hip isolations. Week 2 is chest isolations + glute engagement. Week 3 adds feet. Only in Week 5 do you start learning actual choreo phrases. That sequencing is why her beginners actually progress — they're not copying moves, they're learning the vocabulary.

The reference cut

Twerk Dance Class with Taylor Manning | Los Angeles. Dec 2024. 287K views, 2,213 likes. What makes it notable: it's an actual class, not a choreography showcase. You see Taylor teaching beginners the same move from three angles. Great for study, great for copying if you can't get to LA.
