Autumn's philosophy is that movement and play are essential parts of learning and healing. As a NYC dance artist Autumn performed with choreographers like Marjani L Forté, Maverick Dance, and Tendayi Kuumba. She then received a full ride scholarship to get her masters degree in dance education and went on to develop the Madiba Prep dance department where she launched study abroad programs, performance tours, inner generational events, and student choreography competitions. Autumn is thrilled to be part of the NDI New Mexico team and looks forward to creating and supporting the NDI community.
