Miss Tori

Miss Tori was born and raised in Long Island, New York and moved to Raleigh, North Carolina in 2021. She started dancing at the age of 3 and knew it was her passion from the very beginning. She danced at a studio most of her life, but then found a smaller, non-profit organization that felt like home. She has trained in a variety of different dances including, ballet, tap, hip-hop, ballroom, world fusion, lyrical, jazz, and musical theatre. She was also a student teacher and taught during the 2019-2020 season as a lead instructor. She has choreographed multiple musicals including, Frozen Jr., Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Guys and Dolls Jr., Sister Act Jr., as well as scenes from Annie, The Greatest Showman, and Hairspray. She loves to watch her students flourish on stage and develop a true love and passion for dance!
