Just when I thought I was done introducing our instructors, when a gem like this one falls into your laps you can’t pass her up! Isabelle will be helping with workshops and private lessons in competition style dance (plus helping with our summer intensives) and she’ll be coming to our advanced technique workshop next week! Don’t miss the chance to work with her!

“Hi, everyone!

I’m Isabelle Webb and am from New Ulm, MN. I am currently a student at the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities studying entrepreneurial management and marketing at the Carlson School of Management. I started dancing when I was five years old and haven’t stopped since! I started out with New Ulm’s Just for Kix program until middle school, then danced for the New Ulm Cathedral Sonics Dance Team for two years, trained and competed with JPJ Productions in Mankato, MN from middle school until graduation, and now compete nationally with the Minnesota Premier Dance Team at the U of M. I have extensive training in competition studio dance, including styles like lyrical, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, and ballet from professional instructors. At JPJ Productions, I have earned numerous judge’s excellence awards and national championships in my solos, duos, trios, and group dances. Apart from my own training, I teach an adaptive dance class for kids with special needs at JPJ Productions and help choreograph gymnastics routines during the summer. I will be teaching private lessons, technique classes, strength and stretch for dancers, combo classes, etc. I am so excited to share my passion for dance with the community!”

Well... I guess it's time that I introduce myself!

My name is Samarah, and I am the owner of Flō Dance Company!

This studio has been a lifelong dream of mine. It might sound cliché, but I have ALWAYS known I wanted to be a dancer. As a little girl I watched Baryshnikov's Nutcracker on VHS until the tape wore out.

My family moved around several times when I was little, so my dance journey didn't begin in earnest until middle school when I discovered contemporary jazz and modern dance. I was told I had started too late to have a professional career...

But I had to keep trying.

My dreams were sidelined when I was diagnosed with severe scoliosis. I underwent a surgery to fuse metal rods to my spine and was bedridden for six months. But I still wanted to be a dancer, despite being told it wouldn't be possible anymore.

But I had to keep trying.

I joined my school's ballroom and swing dance team. I continued traveling and competing through college, learning everything I could. But I still had a "traditional" major. After all, who can make a career out of dance?

But I had to keep trying.

So I transferred schools and earned my degree in Musical Theater with a concentration in dance and an additional minor in classical dance. Immediately after graduation I was offered a position as an instructor at a local studio and started to find my groove as a teacher.

Then, in 2011 I was involved in an accident that could have (and should have) paralyzed me. More hardware was installed in my body. Walking without pain would be a miracle... but to dance??

I still had to keep trying.

I clawed my way back through physical therapy and moved back in with my mom to recover. And before long the unthinkable happened. I was hired by an entertainment company for their dance troupe. I performed as a mime, an elf, a zombie... even a toy soldier in a snow globe! I even got to perform as a backup dancer for the top 70's disco band in the country.

Then I met the incredible Dave Forster, and after starting our family we made the decision to move to his hometown of Sleepy Eye to raise our kids. I thought my career was coming to an end, and that there wouldn't be many opportunities out here.

I still had to keep trying!

Since moving to Sleepy Eye, I've choreographed for SEHS, NUHS, Cathedral, GFW, Sleepy Eye Community Theater, State Street Theater, and Thunderbird Community Arts... and I'M STILL GOING!!

After so many roadblocks, to be able to have my own studio feels like a total dream. I am so grateful for the community support, and for everyone who kept believing in me!

At Flō I'll be teaching Ballroom, Latin, and Swing... as well as Musical Theater Dance and Performance Skills! I also LOVE choreographing wedding dances!

If you'd like to try out ballroom dance for free, come see me at The Well in New Ulm this Friday at 5:30! I hope to see you all there! 💃
