Workshop House - Nubian Néné (CA/US)

About Nubian Néné

Nubian Néné, a Montreal native and New York-based dancer/choreographer, is known for weaving Street and Club dance into a captivating and distinctive style. Rooted in her Haitian heritage, her resilience and dedication have propelled her into multiple roles—producer, curator, visual artist, teacher, and creative visionary. Mentored by innovators of Street and Club dance cultures, she is deeply committed to preserving the African diasporic legacy through pedagogy, cultural engagement, and artistic expression.

In 2012, she founded A Lady in the House Dance Company (ALITH) to explore the depth of street and club dance while integrating personal, cultural, and spiritual narratives. ALITH pushes artistic boundaries through multidisciplinary mediums such as drawing, film, and audio recordings. Notable works include Traceable (2025), an 80-minute solo merging dance and visual art inspired by mental health, DUALIS (2021), a solo work inspired by identity created for another dancer, and she debuted Signature Verses Liberation (2022), an architectural, dance, and drawing-inspired art installation, solidifying her ability to merge visual and performative art.

As the creator, curator, and artistic director of Waack Bazaar, and ALITH, Nubian Néné continues to redefine movement, storytelling, and artistic collaboration, expanding the possibilities of dance and its connection to other art forms.

** About the workshop**

HOUSE LIKE A NUBIAN: House Like a Nubian is a house dance class rooted in foundational steps and the essential techniques that define the form. With a focus on developing strong basics, this class offers practical tools to refine your movement and elevate your house dance technique.

We dive deep into style freedom—exploring variations, repetition, application, and pushing physical limits to unlock personal expression. Beyond movement, the class also honors the rich history and lived stories of the house dance community, bringing culture into every session.

This is an all-levels experience. Choreography is rarely the focus—expect to work, sweat, and HOUSE.

Open level The workshop are open level which means all levels are welcome. But it will not be suitable for beginners therefore we recommend some dance experience. Not particularly in the same style as the workshop.

The workshops will be held in english.
