Kenza Mouahidi is an actor, dancer, writer and entrepreneur.

Kenza was born in Casablanca, Morocco, and grew up speaking three languages before heading off to college in Paris where she earned a MBA in Luxury Marketing. She has worked for brands like LVMH and Diptyque.

When the 2008 financial crisis hit and disrupted global markets, Kenza decided to change her horizon and returned to Morocco, where she launched an export company for garments from Turkey and India.

Dance was always a big part of her life, so when Kenza was presented with an opportunity to teach dance, she took it. This led to her opening her own dance studio, “Just Dance Marrakech”, where passionate people could sweat and share dance as a hobby. Kenza also became certified in Zumba and Yoga, enhancing the value of her studio. Approached by Luxury resorts of Marrakech for their privileged clientele, she provided yoga and bellydance lessons to the Mandarin Oriental, The Four Seasons, The Royal Mansour and The Fairmont.

Kenza has been interested in the movie industry since childhood, so she began to study acting, taking classes and travelling for workshops to places like Austria, Italy and France.

When Covid hit, she took a pause from teaching dance and yoga and focused solely on acting. She joined the “Hollywood Winners Circle” founded by Wendy Alane Wright and took classes with professionals from the Industry, among them James Ciccone, a New York-based actor and coach. This virtual training created a desire to relocate to the US, close to these communities. Kenza arrived in New York in January 2021 full of faith and confidence.

In New York, Kenza continued training with James Ciccone, and also studied at the T Schreiber Studio, working with Peter Jensen on scene study , Page Clement on voice and Shakespeare, and Tommy Buck for on-camera work.

You can catch Kenza Mouahidi in Mirage on Apple TV, No Man’s Land on Hulu and in The Tower of Silence and I love this arrangement (shown at various Film Festivals).

Kenza loves to cook, and often shares her recipes on line.
