BIOGRAPHY

Originally from Oklahoma, Arneshia is a dance artist currently practicing in Minnesota. She is a weaver and mover who creates with an underlying purpose of sharing experiences that help uplift. She views her artwork as snapshots into the social and cultural dimensions of life that explores contemporary relationships through performance. 

Arneshia has been awarded residencies and scholarships to support her choreography and danced works by communal and nationally known artists. Recent residencies and support include Dea Studios, Momentum: New Dance Works, 331 Studios - Rosy Simas Danse, and MRAC. 

Her written publication record includes topics within the areas of dance, the African diaspora, and spirituality, with a focus on bodied spiritual expression, dance education, and community.

Arneshia broadens access by expanding who and how people envision themselves in dance performance, choreography, and education.
