Kashia Kancey is a Miami-born performer and dance-theater choreographer, who earned her BFA in Dance from New World School of the Arts. As a performer, Kashia has had the pleasure of working with Rosie Herrera Dance Theatre, Adele Myers and Dancers, Abby Z and the New Utility, David Dorfman Dance, and Urban Bush Women. She has also worked with artists like Donna Uchizono, Tendayi Kuumba, Annie-B Parson, Symara Sarai, and Cristina Moya-Palacios. 

Her choreographic history began in Miami, with early works including commissions from the Peter London Global Dance Company, as well as self-choreographed solo work. 

Since moving to NYC, she has had work presented in CreateART Performance, Triskelion Arts and Movement Research at Judson Church. Kashia is grateful to have been a recipient of residencies such as the GALLIM Moving Artist Residency (2023), Baryshnikov Arts Center (2024), Triskelion Arts Fellowship (2025), and the Fresh Tracks Residency at New York Live Arts (2025). Most recently, Kashia was recognized as one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” 2026 as a choreographer and performer. Currently based in Brooklyn, she is excited to continue making work where she can exist unapologetically and dream without any limits.
