Kashia Kancey is a Miami-born performer and choreographer, who earned her BFA degree in Dance from New World School of the Arts. She has been commissioned by Peter London Global Dance Company, and has had work presented in The Carnival Studio Theater at the Adrienne Arsht Center, Movement Research at Judson Church, Dixon Place and CreateART Performance. Kashia has performed in spaces like Perez Art Museum Miami, South-Miami Dade Cultural Arts Center, Dance Place DC, the American Dance Festival, The Yard, and New York Live Arts. She has danced with Rosie Herrera Dance Theatre, Adele Myers and Dancers, and Abby Z and the New Utility. Kashia is currently working with David Dorfman Dance and is now based in Brooklyn, NY, and continues to pursue her career as a performer and choreographer. Kashia’s foundation as an artist is rooted in her liturgical dance background as a child. It was in this world where she learned how to use her body in a way that not only taught her about faith, but also about the purity and honesty in dance that goes deeper than a pointed foot.
