Our Guest Artist Series goes beyond a single class — it enriches both Legacy and the community. Artists from near and far share their expertise, giving attendees professional-level instruction, creative inspiration, and the chance to collaborate directly with accomplished artists. These collaborations strengthen Legacy’s teaching artists, foster meaningful partnerships, and create a foundation for future projects and community-driven programs. All sessions feature live drumming, enhancing the connection between movement, music, and everyone involved.

Nick M. Daniels is a Pittsburgh-based choreographer, multimedia artist, and founding Artistic Director of The D.A.N.A. Movement Ensemble (Dancers Against Normal Actions), a company launched in 1991 to challenge societal norms through movement. A graduate of Slippery Rock University with a BFA in Dance, Daniels is recognized as a Pittsburgh Cultural Treasure and a pioneer in exploring themes of race, sexuality, and identity through performance. After a 20-year hiatus, Daniels returned in 2016 with a bold, socially charged vision. His work blends African, modern, contemporary, and Butoh dance with electronic soundscapes, video projection, and theater to create immersive experiences that spark dialogue. Supported by awards and residencies, including the Kelly Strayhorn Theater FRESHWORKS Residency and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, his work has been performed nationally and internationally, with new projects in 2026 across Europe, Central and South America.
