Monika Sharma is a Los Angeles-based dancer and choreographer with a passion for storytelling and expressive movement. Growing up in a small town in Iowa, she took every opportunity to dance, choreograph, and perform, before making the big move to Los Angeles. Her time in the Midwest allowed her to have many diverse experiences, ranging from NBA halftime shows to music videos with local indie artists. Monika grew up training with former Joffrey Ballet dancers Robert and Miyoko Thomas and has since trained with Monika Felice Smith and MaryAnn Chavez in their Lume dance training and creative development program and is currently training with Kolanie Marks and Antoine Troupe through their KreativMndz program Monika is excited to continue sharing her love of dance with audiences in all forms.
