Samantha Vella

In 2018, Samantha is entering her 28th year of gymnastics and acrobatic instruction. Having begun her career as a gymnastics coach, Samantha moved into the performing arts industry in 1997, working with dancers and dance teachers in the areas of acrobatics, strength and conditioning, and team development. Having worked with Thelma Williams, Tanya Attard-Dwyer and more recently Jason Coleman, Samantha has had the opportunity to contribute to the industry, developing dancers who work professionally in the industry, and supporting the development of pre-professional dancers. Samantha’s philosophy in developing dancers is holistic and stems from both experience and formal university qualifications in learning theory, leadership, exercise sports science and biomechanics.
