About Me
Nyemah Stuart hails from Harlem, New York City. At five years of age Stuart began her dance training at The Uptown Dance Academy. Continuing studies at Harbor Conservatory for the Arts, The Martha Graham School, and the Alvin Ailey Junior Division. Her next stop was Professional Performing Arts High School, which had a dance program tied to the Alvin Ailey School. After graduating High School she studied ballet at The Dance Theatre of Harlem as a scholarship student. Stuart then went on to apprentice with Deeply Rooted Dance Theater under the direction of Nicole Clark Springer, Kevin Iega Jeff, and Gary Abbott, and has since matriculated into the company. Stuart also took part in Deeply Rooted’s first virtual summer dance intensive as the Youth Repertory Instructor. Stuart currently does company work with Harambee Dance Co. directed by Sandella Malloy, and is an instructor with Jamel Gain’s Creative Outlet working with young artist and dancers of the community. "Ever since I can remember dance has been a part of my life, I do not feel alive or fulfilled if I am not dancing. I am thankful for this craft for it continues to keep me focused and allows me to express myself, because words are never enough.”
