Nya

Nya is an up and coming dancer from Washington, DC. She has been dancing since the age of
three and plans to be a professional dancer. Currently she is senior training at The Baltimore School
for the Arts and is a social media influencer for the major dance brand Bloch. At a very young age Nya
had the honor of performing in Debbie Allen’s Brothers of the Knight production and since then has
danced with the Washington Ballet, American Ballet Theater, Collage Dance Collective, and most
recently with the Atlanta Ballet to name a few. Nya has recently started performing in film and can be
seen in the Queen Latifah Collective Short “Ballet After Dark” and the soon to be released short “United
We Heal” In her spare time she likes write poetry and give back to the youth in her community by
helping raise funds and awareness for Sickle Cell, Cancer, and Anti-Bulling Campaigns. She also spends
time volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House and volunteers with local elementary schools to
introduce kids to ballet and encourage them to follow their dreams no matter where you come from.
She knows first-hand the difficulties of trying to accomplish your dreams coming from the inner city and
fighting to be a part of a dance world where she will be a minority. She wants to be an inspiration to
others and show them that with hard work, determination, and faith you can accomplish anything.
