Nina Flagg

DANCE ARTIST/ CHOREOGRAPHER/ EDUCATOR

Nina Flagg is an LA-based dance artist, choreographer, and educator. Her movement foundations began with gymnastics, classical ballet, and modern dance followed by studies in West African dance, jazz, and hip-hop dance.

Over the past two decades, Nina’s work has evolved as an intersection between multiple movement traditions, embodied through a hip-hop/contemporary consciousness. The multiplicity of her embodied practice has lent itself to a diverse career in concert dance, television, and academia. Nina has been on faculty at Cal Arts, UCLA (World Arts Cultures/Dance), Connecticut College, and Loyola Marymount University teaching courses in contemporary technique, hip-hop technique, and hip-hop composition. As of January 2023, she is now on faculty at the USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance, teaching courses in hip-hop and dancehall technique.

Nina has worked with such artists as Prince, Tina Turner, Bette Midler, Chris Brown, Solange, Will Smith, and J Balvin. Her television credits include The Oscars, MTV, and Good Morning America and her choreography has been featured on the Grammy’s, The Alvin Ailey Company, Youth America Grand Prix, and at Redcat Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles.
