WHO WE ARE.
KAROME WALKER
“I will push any dancer above and beyond, but they must be willing to work. Great dancers are not created over night, they are created with hard work and determination.”
Karome Walker, Artistic Director and Founder of Meraki Dance Company, has spent over a decade as a professional choreographer, educator and performer.
Throughout her years of choreographing, traveling, and competing with the Dance Team Association, her passion for dance grew tremendously. Her choreography continues to receive high recognition around the Midwest area. Karome is known for her breathtaking, thought-provoking choreography that leaves the audiences feeling, thinking, and wanting more. Her collegiate level of training in ballet, pointe, jazz, modern (Horton), contemporary, and lyrical allows her to bring out the best in every dancer, no matter the age or experience; pushing them in a fun, challenging, and inspiring way.
After studying dance performance and education at Ball State University, Karome earned her Bachelor of Science degree in 2010 and went to dance for Emmy-Award nominated choreographer, Jeffery Page. Later, she decided to try something different, and joined Epiphany Dance Collective, an African Dance Company in Indianapolis, Indiana. Karome fulfilled her love for performing, and decided to focus on her true passion of choreography and educating young dancers. Karome has choreographed for Iibada Dance Company, The Performing Arts Conservatory, New Jerusalem Dance Team, Wishes Dance Studio, and Synergy Dance Company, to name a few. Her work has been seen in Broadway in Black, Spotlight, Glorious, YAGP, 1in5, and many other shows in the Midwest area.
Karome is excited and ready to hit the ground running in the next phase of her professional career, and hopes to see you at Meraki Dance Company’s next performance!
