Selina Shida Hack is a dancer, choreographer, and teacher from Queens, New York, now based in Berlin. Her work centers on clarity, what a body reveals when it moves without decoration. Drawing on cultural roots in Guyana and Japan, she approaches movement as a tool for constructing emotionally grounded visual worlds, often blending dance with other mediums.
Her choreographic work has been presented internationally at Teatro Civico La Spezia, Kaatsbaan Summer Dance Festival, The Historic Green-Wood Cemetery, Berlin Ringtheater, Uferstudios, and Dock 11 Berlin. She has performed works by Martha Graham, Sidra Bell, Celia Rowlson-Hall, Kate Wallich, and others, and has collaborated across the music and commercial landscape with artists including Madonna, Black Violin, and Halestorm, and brands such as BMW and New Balance. Trained at The Alvin Ailey School, SUNY Purchase (BFA), and the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, her practice across performance, choreography, and teaching remains grounded in one constant: rigor and curiosity in equal measure.
