ABOUT NONYE
​ My name is Nonye Adure Brantley, the proud daughter of Mr. Jonathan Brantley and Dr. Adanna Amanze and the older sister of John Brantley. I am currently an honors student and senior at Leon High School in Tallahassee, Florida where I am involved in various academic and extra-curricular activities. I plan to enroll in a Bachelor of Fine Arts program to expand my skills in all genres of dance to become a global performer and choreographer while incorporating the art of dance in the field of medicine.
