As an Associate Professor and the Inaugural Chair of the Dance Performance and Choreography Department at Spelman College, Lang has reimagined dance education through a decolonial lens; developing curricula that frame embodiment as a 21st-century intellectual, artistic, and civic practice. Her courses interrogate the movement of Black bodies through historical, political, and liberatory frameworks, positioning the classroom as both studio and site of social reckoning. Her innovative integration of XR technology has earned her national recognition, including the 2024 Black Public Media Fellowship, 2022 and 2024 Emory University Arts & Social Justice Fellowship, and 2023 Princeton University’s Collaboration, Research and Innovation Grant. She received a National Endowment for the Arts award for her project Out From the Deep: Unraveling Them Turners; a historically grounded, technologically immersive dance work and recently a 2025 UNCF/Mellon Teaching and Learning Institute grant award for her professional work with T. Lang Dance.

Lang was the 2024 National Dance Educators Organization (NDEO) award recipient for the Outstanding Dance Educator in Higher Education (Established category). Lang expanded her work as Movement Director for fashion haus EUKONO for their collaboration during Paris Fashion week 2025. She continues her new developments with movement and creative technology with artist residencies at Georgia Tech and Duke University as she begins creating for her upcoming work, Thighs of Thunder. Lang received her BFA at University of Illinois Urbana Champaign and her MFA at NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
