Get ready to turn up the heat on Knoxville’s dance scene with Asami Martin — your K-Pop dance dynamo straight from the vibrant streets of Yokohama, Japan!

A dancer, choreographer, and coach with 25 years of dance experience, rooted in Hip-Hop and shaped by the discipline and artistry of K-Pop performance culture. Her dance journey began in Japan, where she led a Hip-Hop dance team, choreographed for performances, and competed at a national level.

After moving to the U.S. in 2010, Asami continued teaching and choreographing across studios, schools, and community events — building dancers from the ground up and helping them find their confidence one count at a time.

As a proud member of Southern Sole Hip Hop (one of Knoxville’s most respected dance crews), she’s shared the stage with incredible talent — including the electrifying Chris Blue from The Voice.

Knox Kpop is the ULTIMATE K-Pop dance experience where passion meets precision. It’s not just a class — it’s a cultural mosaic, a fitness fiesta, and an absolute blast all rolled into one.
