BIO
I'm a pro choreographer/dancer with Grenadian-Nevisian roots living in The Bronx. Traveling to the West Indies and returning as a child, I developed a love for dance from Carnival and family fetes. Realizing that the dancing bug had bitten me, my mother enrolled me in the Harlem School of the Arts and other after-school programs. Eventually, I landed a scholarship to Dance Theater of Harlem's Community Program, where I realized I wanted to be a dancer.
This love led me to attend Columbia College Chicago, which helped me evolve significantly as a dancer. I added more color to my movement palate by studying techniques like Bhyrata Natyam, Contact Improvisation, Capoeira, Popping, and Aerial Dance. During this time, I got my first taste of dance film while on scholarship at The American College Dance Festival and American Dance Festival, which opened my eyes to a whole new world, and I've never looked back. I marry dance and film in my work til this day.
After college, while living in Chicago, I was homesick and wanted to connect with my West Indian roots. This longing eventually led me to enter the Midwest Dancehall Queen Competition. I won.
This victory allowed me to compete in Jamaica's International Dancehall Queen competition. I then went on to work with Target, BAM, Performa 19, Nasty Woman Art Exhibit, The Shed, VOGUE, Bill T. Jones & Arnie Zane Company, Coachella, Ladies of Hip Hop, Walshy Fire, Sean Paul, Net-A-Porter, Rihanna At the VMAS, MoneyBagg Yo at The BET Awards, New Balance, Foot Locker, and The US Open while teaching dance locally and internationally. I also co-founded Queen Moves to connect & empower womxn through dance and created the Freelance Not Free Dance Equitable Wage Movement.
Dance is my first tangible language, and I am forever grateful for it.
