Miss Sylvia - Studio Owner

Miss Sylvia is extremely excited for this new opportunity in her life, to combine her education and her love of dance! Hence Starbound Dance Center was born!

Sylvia’s love of dance began at the very young age of 3, at the University of Lethbridge, under Mary Falconer. She has pursued dance in several streams including recreationally and competitively at couple of local dance studios; as well as being very involved in the Dance Program at her high school LCI.​

After high school, she attended the University of Lethbridge pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Management, majoring in Human Resources and Labour Relations. Her interest in the business world stemmed at a young age, being the grand-daughter of an Entrepreneur; which lead her to pursue a degree in Management. Combined with her love of dance, she ultimately decided to open a dance studio in her hometown, Starbound Dance Center!

As a young dancer, Sylvia trained extensively in lyrical, jazz, contemporary and ballet but has experience in many other disciples including hip hop, swing, modern, tap, and pointe. In addition to dancing at a studio, she has taken Dance 9, 15/25 and performed in numerous dance productions with Lethbridge Collegiate Institute, under the direction of Betty Poulsen and Alisha Hornberger. While at LCI she had roles in 4 different shows including the works of Michael Jackson, The Beatles, and performed alongside a live band, Jason & The Diatonics. While in high school she was awarded two Fine Arts of Excellence Awards.
