Samara’s love for movement and dance began at 3 years old. Performing on stage and learning choreography built her confidence from a very young age. Dance and theatre have always been Samara’s primary creative outlets as they help her appreciate life’s precious moments. She deeply values living her life for the present, and believes there is no better way to experience the present than through fitness and the performing arts.

Samara studied Musical Theatre at Manhattanville College and performed off- broadway in New York City. She tap danced her way through the industry while teaching children in Preschool and Kindergarten. As an avid educator and traveler, she taught English abroad in Israel and has curated travel retreats to Greece, Belize, Iceland and Cuba. 

Samara is also an NYU Certified Coach, guiding her clients to set goals to live their lives at their highest potentials. She believes that mental and emotional health are equally as important as physical health. Samara is a true follower of her passions. She finds joy and excitement in change and leaning into new challenges to further progress her abilities personally and professionally. 

When taking Samara’s class you can expect your fair share of singalongs along with eclectic, synth pop music that is new to the ear. Music is an important part of sharing a class with her. She loves playing up and coming artists that are not well known (yet)!

Some fun facts about Samara are that she absolutely loves live band karaoke, plays tennis, and is completing her first children’s book titled, Jane the Plane.
