Join us for two national webinars with Samantha Conte, College Planner and Performing Arts Specialist for Class 101-Dayton, on Tuesday, December 6, 2022 and Tuesday, January 10, 2023 at 7 p.m.

In addition to serving Class 101-Dayton students as a college planner, Samantha Conte is a performer, dance educator, and choreographer. Her previous training includes fourteen years at South Dayton School of Dance under the instruction of Gina Walther, Gigi Gardner, and Erin Robbins. In 2012, Samantha was awarded the “Monticello Award for Emerging Choreography” for her work, Inferno, which was selected to perform in Montreal as a part of Regional Dance America. She then continued her training at Ball State University where she graduated with her B.F.A. in Dance, magna cum laude. Since graduating, she has been on staff at many local dance studios, as well as spending time in Hamilton area pre-schools to give children early exposure to dance. Throughout her dance training and professional career, Samantha has worked with guest artists, such as Sidra Bell, Rodney A. Brown, Leslie Dworkin, Cody Szarko, John Litzler, Ruka White, William B. McClellan, Jr., and Debbie Blunden-Diggs. Samantha spent three seasons as a company member with Mamluft&Co. Dance in Cincinnati, Ohio, and is now
in her third season with Hixon Dance in Columbus, Ohio.

Class 101 can help performing arts majors explore the many resources available and craft the college list, a preparation and audition plan, and an application that gets noticed. We also help students manage the many deadlines involved in that process.
