ABOUT ME

Samantha started dancing at the age of five. After twelve years of being classically trained and in the competitive world, she decided to pursue her movement career. She then attended Ryerson University’s Performance Dance Program, BFA. After her first year, Samantha booked an original trilogy of musical productions to tour Europe that led her to make the decision to leave Toronto.

 

At 19 she moved to New York City to train and expand her movement vocabulary at the prestigious Broadway Dance Center. Here she was able to work with the industry’s top choreographers and for acts from Icona Pop to Neyo. After a couple years in NYC, Samantha made her trek across the pond. Samantha, had the opportunity to educate children and adults across the United Kingdom. Here, she was co-choreographer for multiple musical theatre productions; “Oliver!” and “Rent”. Itching for another expansion of knowledge, Samantha was accepted into an internship in Los Angeles to dance with a groundbreaking company, Dana Foglia Dance. With this company, Samantha got a new look at the commercial dance world and wanted to return to her native Toronto.

 

Armed with a plethora of knowledge from varying dance styles (classically trained ballet, jazz, modern, tap and urban/commercial styles of hip hop, jazz funk, waacking, heels) and an ever expanding passion for dance, Samantha is spreading her expertise across Toronto and the GTA.

 

Ranging from toddlers to adults of any age, Samantha believes dance is for everybody. Dance is not only on the corner of artistic expression and athleticism but is also a universal language. Every class with Samantha comes with her three principles on growth: challenge, patience and fun!
