About the Artist: 

Masani St. Rose (she/her) was born and raised in Mohkinstsis (Calgary, AB). She was immersed into learning about her ancestral roots through dance at the tender age of 3, specializing in West African and Caribbean dance. Upon the introduction to dance, Masani found a passion for West African traditions, culture, and style. It was through training under Michele Moss-Johnston at Decidedly Jazz Danceworks, she was able to build her foundation. Still working very closely with Michele Moss-Johnston and various other artists from Guinea, West Africa, she finds every opportunity to take master classes from artists from various regions of Africa including Congo, Uganda, Ghana, Mali, Guinea, and Zimbabwe. Throughout the years, Masani has worked with various studios and professional groups across Canada. It is her mission to keep the art and culture alive from soul to sole!
