About
Studio Kamel was founded by Kamel Kaymanesh as a creative venue where dance, music, art, and community could flourish side by side. Located in Springfield, Virginia, the studio has grown into a vibrant gathering place for movers, artists, and dreamers of all backgrounds.
The name “Kamel” means “perfection” in Arabic — reflecting the studio's commitment to helping every student strive toward their personal best.
