Sampada Shah is a dancer, movement lover, and creative based in Toronto. Raised in India, she grew up with a strong foundation in Bollywood and her South Asian heritage, which sparked her love for movement and eventually led her to explore hip hop and street styles. Since moving to Canada, she’s continued exploring different dance forms while growing as a performer and leader in the local dance community.

Sampada has had the chance to perform on big stages, be part of major commercial projects, and earn recognition at competitions and conventions. Most recently, she worked as an Assistant Tour Choreographer for a Punjabi artist.

In class, Sampada’s main goal is to foster a space where dancers can feel the joy of movement and community and feel safe and welcomed. She believes that the true beauty of dance come from the feelings it evokes and nothing is more rewarding that to share that feeling with those around you!
