Iyanah is a London-based multidisciplinary performer and movement director with African and Caribbean heritage (Jamaican and Nigerian). She has been dancing from the age of 3, specialising in contemporary, Hip Hop and House. Iyanah went to The Brit School from the ages 16-18 and left with a Dance Level 3 Diploma in Performing Arts (3 Distinctions). At The Brit School she started to recognise herself as a contemporary dancer, drawn to the feelings of freedom and limitlessness in the approach. She went on to get her Bachelor's degree in Contemporary Dance at London Contemporary Dance School (The Place). Iyanah's passion is movement direction for film (specifically action, thriller and horror genres), and movement for fashion. She hopes to continue to build a successful career in these areas and expand her base geographically.

Iyanah is a graduate of the MA Dance: Performance programme at LCDS, where she was a member of the inaugural Cohort 01. During the programme she worked with project leaders such as Theo Clinkard, Jenna Jalonen, Hannes Langolf, Paleta, Benjamin Jonsson, AE Company (Aoi Nakamura & Esteban Lecoq), Edivaldo Ernesto, Horacio Macuacua, Jozef Frucek and Alexandra Reynolds under the course leadership of Tom English, Tina Afiyan Breiova and Dr Andrew Sanger and working closely with individual mentor Stephanie McMann.
