She/They

Nova DeLapp is a Kansas City native who is always ready to explore new dance techniques and opportunities. They began their dance journey at 7 years old, learning from many professionals such as Richelle Sauceda, Anna Boehm, Erin Dechman, and Cydney McGee. She was able to participate in performances for Ignite Youth Contemporary Group and the Young Choreographers Workshop at City in Motion during her years as a competitive dancer. 

Now as a nutrition and entomology student at The University of Minnesota, Nova has been able to dive into the world of choreography and group movement. They are a student choreographer for The Dance Collective at UMN. Outside of dance, they love to be outdoors, read, and spend time with their amazing family!
