Desaré Cox (she/her) is an artist native to Chicago, IL, raised in Minneapolis, MN. As a self-taught dancer inspired by the movement, spirit, and community around her, she quickly learned, through embodiment, the true nature and essence of hip-hop. Desaré believes that dance is emotions personified and a powerful language that connects us all. Through that language, her work is fueled by the intention to grant viewers a moment to feel seen, understood, and represented, simultaneously allowing the expression of emotions and experiences— freely, and unapologetically. Currently, Desaré is teaching choreography movement at HotHouse dance studio, is a flourishing model, forever student, and safe space; always striving to be a better teacher, artist, and human.
