Samantha Stiglianese

Samantha is a competitive dancer, choreographer and instructor with over 15 years of experience in the industry. She enjoys sharing her passion for dance with hundreds of students across the tri-state area specializing in Lyrical, Ballet and Jazz. Samantha is thrilled to have the opportunity to join New Beginnings and is eager to help our students refine their technique with ABT curriculum standards. She continues to further her dance education by taking classes and workshops in NYC as well as performing in local theater productions. Her animated personality, and love of the arts will make her classes inspiring and fun. Samantha's goal as a teacher is to give students a thorough education while inspiring their creativity, discipline and self-confidence. Outside of dance, she volunteers at several preschool and day care programs teaching children through music and imaginative play, how to hone their motor skills and express themselves with movement. When she's not teaching, you can often find her at a Broadway show or enjoying New York City Ballet at Lincoln Center. You might even find her backstage or announcing at a dance competition!
