Nindy Banks is a dancer and dance teacher based in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal. She had the privilege of learning from hip-hop pioneers in Montréal and the United States and also practices krump under the mentorship of Vladimir “7Starr” Laurore. In 2015, she completed her bachelor’s degree in contemporary dance at UQAM. With a practice rooted in freestyle and collaborations with various choreographers, she has developed a particular interest in exploring dance as a vehicle for emotions and sensations. Nindy has gained extensive experience as a performer, notably with the dance company Ebnfloh and the interdisciplinary creation company We All Fall Down. She transitions fluidly between hip-hop, krump, and contemporary dance through various projects that have taken her around the world and enriched her artistic expression.
JURY NOTES
Whether on contemporary dance stages or in street dance, Nindy Banks demonstrates remarkable presence and virtuosity. Fully committed to her work as a performer, she brings to life the creative visions of choreographers with precision and authenticity, whether in Papillon by Hélène Simard or La probabilité du néant by Alexandra “Spicey” Landé. Each performance reaffirms her mastery and ability to captivate audiences. Her clear vision allows her to invest herself fully in every project. Her commitment to transmission extends beyond the stage, from battles to training, from choreography to teaching. A fascinating and deeply dedicated artist.
