Felicia Thomas is a native of Houston, Texas and obtained her B.A. in Dance and English from Sam Houston State University. Post-graduation, Thomas performed for 2 Houston area modern dance companies, "Second Generation Dance Company" and "Urban Souls Dance Company". She then received a path changing opportunity to perform in a play written by Thomas Melancon along with a Houston area African dance company, "Kucheza Ngoma". This opportunity presented both a new movement vocabulary and a deeper appreciation for AfroDiasporic dance. She later became a member of the company, learning and performing West African, Caribbean Dance Hall, and Caribbean Folk Dance styles. Thomas also began training in AfroBrazilian dance styles, including orixa dancing, samba, and Silvestre Technique, and began presenting pieces that fused Afrodiasporic movement with modern technique. Felicia Thomas has recently been able to present original choreography at Houston Fringe Festival and Barnstorm in 2016, and as an Artist in Residence in 2017; as well as present the beginning of her exploration of performance art at Houston Fringe Festival 2017. Felicia continues to train, teach workshops, and approach dance connecting the individual conscious to the social conscious and fusing modern technique with AfroDiasporic movement qualities.
