Shakia The Key is a newly established project-based dance company based in Western Massachusetts that focuses on street dance styles through performance and education. During this summer intensive, Shakia Barron will be joined by professional collaborators on her newest work, Genesis, for her project-based dance company Shakia The Key. This intensive offers an exciting opportunity to train with this collection of artists in one place, as Shakia and collaborators will teach various street dance styles from their unique approach and background. 

Genesis is doubly significant–a dance work and a launching point. This project will serve as the beginning of Shakia The Key, a project-based dance company. After choreographing and directing 50+ dance works for various organizations and educational institutions, Shakia Barron is excited to create with a revolving group of professional dancers to further develop her work as it centers Hip-Hop and other street dance forms to build expansive knowledge, understanding, and love. Genesis will premiere in September 2022, platforming Barron’s artistic values of collaboration and community as a means to generate possibilities for embodied connection, between performers and audience members, investing in the generation of kinesthetic empathy. ​These classes are open to all levels.
