Karla Nweje began studying dance because of her experiences as a young child on the streets of New York City, where she says African American culture, dance and music were integral parts of her life. She has learned and worked with innovative modern dance choreographers and African griots, including Doris Chaverra, Ladji Camara, Ronald K.
