Dance Magazine names Kayla Hamilton one of
2025’s “25 to Watch”

Kayla Hamilton “centers an explicitly intersectional approach in disability artistry,” writes Sydnie Mosley. “Through her recently launched cultural organization, Circle O, she is reimagining ‘a dance world where Black Disabled and other multiply marginalized creatives are central.’

“...In 2025 you can expect to see her performing, co-leading visionary programs, and touring ‘How to Bend Down’ nationally. Pay attention to what Hamilton is cultivating in each space she is creating. It just might be the key to help us all get free.”
