Hey everyone! My name is Giada, and I am going into my second year of the Intermediate/Senior Concurrent Education program at Brock, with English and Geography as my teachable subjects. I’m so excited to be joining Brock Dance as a teacher this year and leading Advanced Plus Hip Hop!
I have been dancing since I was two years old and have trained and competed in many different styles, but hip hop has always been my favourite. I have been training at an all-hip-hop studio since I was nine, which has given me a strong background in authentic hip hop and street dance. I have also had the opportunity to learn from some of the OGs in the street-dance community and perform at halftime shows for the Toronto Raptors, Raptors 905 and Toronto Argonauts, which have been unforgettable experiences.
I can’t wait to meet everyone, dance together and share my love for hip hop with you all!

When I’m not dancing, I’m finishing my Bachelor’s degree in October and preparing to begin my Master’s in Psychotherapy! I love working with people, creating supportive spaces, and helping others build confidence…qualities that I bring into every class I teach.

Hey! My name is Olivia and I’m going into my second year of the Intermediate/Senior Concurrent Education program. This will be my second year with Brock Dance, but my first year teaching. I’m extremely excited to be co-teaching Leaps and Turns with Sofia! I have been dancing since I was 3 years old and competitively from the age of 6 until 18 years old. I have done each style at least once and have competed in almost every style except for tap. A little fun fact about me is that I have been in a music video! My favourite style of dance is Jazz.

Sofia A.
Leaps and Turns

Picture
Hello! My name is Sofia, and I am going into my second year of ConEd P/J. This will also be my second year with Brock Dance, and after having such an amazing and inspiring first year, due to last year's teachers, I knew I wanted to take the next step and join the team. I have been leaping and turning since I was 3 years old and started competing around the age of 8. I used to love testing my Cecchetti ballet technique, which shines through in my dancing to this day, but my favourite style has to be lyrical. I am so excited to be teaching leaps and turns alongside Olivia and to share my love for dance with all of you. I’m looking forward to an amazing season!

"Dancing with others in my rec class gave me a chance to reconnect with my love for tap and connect with new friends who had the same interest.
The club is as low or high commitment as you'd like. If you're someone like me who only did one type of dance, that was cool. If you were someone who joined everything and anything they could fit in their schedule - great for you as well. As long as you commit to what you signed up for, everybody will welcome you with open arms." - Colleen, Member for 1 year, 2nd year student
