LaVondia Bryant-Square is artistic director of Nathifa Dance Company and Nathifa Dance Outreach, Inc. Nathifa Dance Company (meaning clean and pure) was established in 1990 as a youth performing company with various outreach programs to increase cultural awareness and foster positive self-image, self-esteem and spirituality among the people of Birmingham.
LaVondia began her dance career at the age of thirteen in Brooklyn, New York with a local studio called “Seasaways.” Two years later, LaVondia began working with the Alonzo Players, and Off Broadway Theater, where she received extensive theatrical training. While in high school, LaVondia won a scholarship in modern dance to 92nd Street YMCA, and another scholarship for training with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Company at the Manhattan Community College.
After returning to Birmingham, LaVondia continued her studies under the directorship of King Sundiata Keite of The Omowale Afrikan Dancers and Cultural Society based in Detroit, Michigan and The Birmingham African Dance Coalition under the directorship of Ife Balams.
