Nayante Stanley was born and raised in Miami, Florida where she found her passion for performing and choreographing dance. She started dancing at a studio in her community, Simone's Just Dance Performing Arts Dance Studio, and she's been amazed with this art form ever since. Nayante’s dance background includes Jazz, Hip Hop, Modern, Ballet, Contemporary, African Diasporic forms and continues to utilizes these styles to express herself. She has had opportunities to work with students ages 4-19 and teach them the different aspects of dance. She focuses on enabling one's being and finding ways to activate a sense of co-existing. Over the years her dance practices has transitioned through this performative aspect into a state of developing or being present, questioning how she can go even further or where can this take her. Most of her works have implemented this style of self expression while still utilizing unison. In 2019, she choreographed the opening number for her high school, New World School of the Arts, and the piece was titled “Final Countdown”. It was created for her senior showcase and allowed opportunities for each dancer to leave their mark. Over the years she has performed works by Robert Battle, Peter London, Kyle and Dinita Clark, Pape Ndiaye, Sara Procopio, Tommie-Waheed, Katie Swords Thurman. She's now expanding in her art and studying at the University of the Arts where she’s working on getting her Bachelor of Fine Arts.
