Hi! I’m Samantha, owner and creator of the websites Dance Parent 101 and Move Dance Learn.
From the age of four I danced recreationally and then competitively. After a year of studying college dance and drama, I transferred to a privately operated pre-professional school training 6 days a week earning a scholarship and diploma in dance.
I taught dance, danced professionally, and then I just stopped… (a whole other story that includes backpacking through Europe and working the Canadian Ski Fields for three years) Eventually I returned to university to attain a Bachelor of Education and taught in junior and primary schools.
Today I am a wife and mother to four young kids aged 4-12, two of whom dance. With soccer practice, swim lessons, gymnastics training etc.. on top of all our dance commitments I am lucky to have my prior dance experience to help me navigate it all!
I created this Summit to help you navigate your way through your busy life as well as the dance world, so you can stress less, enjoy the journey and support your dancer with confidence!
Created just for the….
There are plenty of Dance Summits, Intensives, Workshops, and dance Camps out there.
So what makes this one different?
Online
This summit is all online! You don’t need to find a babysitter, or make travel arrangements or even get out of your pajamas!
Parent Focused
This summit was developed by a parent for parents! Your interests are at the top of the list, not your studios or convention providers!
Trust

We’re not here to add more to your plate. Our goal isn’t to or add things to your to-do list, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and like there’s no way you can do enough.
Instead, we’re here to take what you’re already doing for your dancer to help you optimize that!
The Details
“Hello Samantha, I am so happy to have this opportunity to be able to THANK YOU personally. Attempting to “have it all together” when you really are not sure what to do is truly difficult. Finding your website recently was like a gift – seriously!! There are no resources to “help” moms, as you have created and you may never know what you are doing for so many.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!”
