## Caption

akirauchida’s choreography doesn’t fit neatly into a stylistic box. Originally from Ottawa, Canada, and now based in New York City, he grew up immersed in the world of competitions and conventions, honing his skills in jazz, tap, hip hop, ballet, and contemporary. After graduating from a performing arts high school, Uchida dove headfirst into Toronto’s commercial industry as a dancer. Itching for something more, he soon shifted his focus to choreography and teaching. Uchida has since collaborated with the Clyfford Still Museum in Denver, Colorado, the art and design video channel NOWNESS, and brands including Reebok, Nike, and Juicy Couture.
