I’m Shaya Ben-David. I’m a dancer and actor studying and living in Northern California.
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost.
Martha Graham
I currently study dance under the direction of Ms. Leyla Boissonnade, at Bay Area Dance School. I have also danced at Master Ballet Academy Summer Intensives, American Ballet Theatre Summer Intensive in New York, with Francisco Gella Pre-Professional Dance Intensives, and at Nutmeg Dance Ballet Conservatory. I study acting at American Conservatory Theater’s Youth Conservatory in San Francisco and Actor’s Comedy Studio in Los Angeles. I have loved performing ever since my first class at three years old. I am a student of ballet, jazz, contemporary, latin, hip hop, tap and acro. I love learning and my passion is performance. I am honored to have represented Dance Masters of America as Junior Miss Dance 2019.
