ORIGINATION CULTURAL ARTS CENTER

Drake A. Curtis began dancing at a very young age. Drake joined OrigiNation’ Nia Dance Troupe in 2005. Throughout 2005-2011 he served as an assistant to the Artistic Director and a Choreographer for Girls of Imani. He has also travelled with OrigiNation on multiple Youth empowerment tours, South Africa (2007), Senegal (2009), London and Paris (2010). Drake is now a full time flight attendant with Delta Airlines by day, and a Portrait Photographer by night. He claims his love for travel was cultivated through his time overseas performing with Nia. Drake continues to work with OrigiNation though virtual workshops and community development projects.
