Nubian Néné

Montreal native Nubian Néné’s muse is music. She is a well-versed dancer/choreographer who finds inspiration weaving the hip hop, house, waacking, and breaking styles of dance together to create her unique approach. Her ability to expand her creativity into a choreographer, performer, producer, director, and host makes her an asset to any project.

Living in New York for the past twelve years has enabled Néné to work with some of the pioneers of Hip Hop culture. Her lifetime involvement with cultural awareness began in 2007 when she joined the Canadian company BluePrintForLife, which teaches the principles and values of the Hip Hop Culture and aims to facilitate some of the social issues facing the Inuit communities of Northern Canada. She has done as many as fifteen weekly trips as a teacher and facilitator for the group.

Néné pursues her teaching career participating in multiple dance festivals including the “Ladies of Hip Hop Festival (LOHHF)” held in Vienna, Austria; New York; Los Angeles, and Toronto, Canada. She has also participated in the “Illadelph” and “Funky Fundamentals” in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the “Block Party” in Boulder, Colorado, among others. For the last five years, Néné has served as Master of Ceremony in the “Ladies Battle,” an annual street dance competition presented by the Ladies of Hip Hop (LOHH), as well as presenting her choreography and teaching expertise at the festival for the last 10 years. In 2013, she created a dance company, A Lady in the House Co., for which she has developed and presented numerous shows.

More recently, Néné has worked with multidisciplinary artists and utilizing her creative outlets such as drawing, to develop a new work approach and material, broadening her artistic arsenal. She has been invited on different discussion panels with subjects such as social issues/activism, and dance community topics. Nene’s experience as a dancer, choreographer, and teacher has led her to showcase her talents on television, in music videos, and in live performances in some of the most prestigious festivals and stage productions in the world.
