Vanessa ‘Neva’ Verdoodt is the Artistic Director/Founder of PiYoDa Flow. As a dance artist, her life mission is to bring people together and keep CULTURE alive. When not community organizing, teaching, and creating in the studio, you can find her gardening, making all kinds of DIY projects, and enjoying the beach with her family. Neva holds an M.A in Performance Studies from NYU, yet started training in train stations in Brussels in the mid-90s before working for Cirque du Soleil, Nike, Black Eyed Peas, and UCLA.
