Samantha Cameron

B.A., San Jose State University

Samantha brings a wealth of experience to the dance studio. With a master's degree from UCLA in dance and choreography, she has also studied with Jose Limon and Company, Mathew Diamond, Alvin Ailey, the Graham Studio, and the Jazz Centre (Paris), among others. In addition to teaching modern and jazz dance classes at Wellesley, Samantha also serves as the faculty advisor for the Wellesley College Dancers and was the choreographer for the Wellesley College Theatre Department production of Brigadoon. She is also a yoga instructor in the faculty and staff Wellness Program.

While Samantha enjoys and believes in teaching dance for the sake of dance, she also believes that it can be used as a tool to enrich students' lives because it challenges them to examine their notions of creativity, space, and change. She strives to explore these types of questions in every class by focusing not only on the physical movements of dance but on the entire creative process.
