DEANNA SALIB

Deanna has been pursuing her passion for dance and performing since the age of 6, when she began dancing and competing at a local studio in Durham Region.  Over the years Deanna has continued her training in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, musical theatre, hip hop and acro. 

Completing her role as a dance student, she decided to share her passion with others and began teaching and choreographing recreational and competitive routines. Deanna has been providing dancers with the opportunity to experience the joy of dance, while developing and maintaining their strength and technique for well over a decade.  Her students have achieved scholarships, choreography awards and overalls at multiple dance competitions across Ontario. 

Ensuring inclusivity of all dancers - no matter their ability is a fundamental focus for Deanna.  She has been a core educator and instructor for dance classes to ensure success and support for children with developmental disabilities as they explore their passion for dance.  Deanna prides herself in providing quality dance training that focuses on happy and healthy dancers. 

Deanna graduated from the University of Toronto with Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology and later completed a Masters Degree at Brock University in Applied Disability Studies.  Deanna has successfully completed her International Academy of Dance Adjudicators (IADA) and her Acrobatic Arts Module 1 Certification.  

Deanna’s life passions centre around dance and working with children and is looking forward to bringing The Dance Complex to life.
