Upon returning to Canada, she has worked with artists on stage and in music videos such as Addictiv (Just Breathe), Wyclef Jean, Praz, USS and Bonnie M.

Stephanie began Step ‘N Sound Entertainment (Step ‘N Sound Dance; 2013) in 2011 when she began acting and casting talent for Adman Productions in Parry Sound. She casted many roles, and performed herself, in various movies with Bruce Greenwood, Calum Blue and Parker Posey.

Stephanie has been taking her experience from abroad and bringing it to over 50 studios & schools including George Brown College, Dance Kraze Productions, Parry Sound Dance Academy, Woodbridge School of Dance, Melissa Kelly Dance Academy, Jaana’s Dance Academy, Stage Stars and many others around Ontario where she teaches and choreographs in Hip Hop, Jazz, Contemporary, Tap, Acro, Breakdance, Ballet and Musical Theatre. As a Regional Manager for U GOT DANCE (U Got Inc.), Stephanie has visited hundreds of schools and taught workshops for children and teachers in the GTA and Parry Sound/Muskoka Area. Alongside teaching and performing, Stephanie visits various schools and academies as an examiner for in-house jazz, tap and ballet exams. Having completed her Jazz & Tap Exams with the CDTA (Canadian Dance Teachers Association), she feels it is important for students to learn the basics and groundwork of dance technique.

Stephanie has continued to take home choreography and high score awards at every dance competition her students attend. The judges are always intrigued by her originality and creativity. “Dance has always been my life; through thick and thin. It taught me how to be passionate about the things I love and how to work towards the things I wanted. Dancing and teaching are my passions and I am very excited to return to Iroquois Falls where I began. I am so thrilled to be starting this exciting adventure and I cannot wait to bring new ideas to my studio and break new horizons both on stage and off.”

Stephanie is overwhelmed with excitement each year with her studio and looks forward to continuing to share her passion for dance and performing with her students for many more years to come!
