As a member of her dance studio’s pre-professional youth ensemble, she had the privilege of taking classes from Homer Hans Bryant, Ingrid Silva, Alicia Graf-Mack, as well as the late Arthur Mitchell, in addition to performing alongside the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra, Dallas Black Dance Theater, NYFW campaigns, Tedx Talks, and televised fashion commercials. Imani subsequently earned her BFA in Contemporary Dance from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Since then, she has been freelancing across New York City in hopes of taking her dance and creative career to new heights.
