Kia S. Smith named one of DANCE MAGAZINE’S 25 TO WATCH FOR 2024

“Smith’s success lies not only in her artistic acumen but also in the way she considers dance and the business of it on a large scale.” – Dance Magazine

“Last year’s premiere of Memoirs of Jazz in the Alley proved a perfect showcase for choreographer and director Kia Smith. The evening-length “dance opera” exemplified her choreographic voice—note-by-note precision, fluid torso movement, unexpected gesture, powerful unison—and marked the debut of her 7-year-old company, South Chicago Dance Theatre, at the Auditorium Theatre, its largest venue to date.” – Dance Magazine
