THE EXPERIENCE

Moving Beyond Dance was created by Montreal based dancer/choreographer Sarah Steben to provide high quality, professional-level dance training in a safe and positive environment. The curriculum focuses on the main tools needed to be a successful working dancer as well as refining skills of individual artistry, athleticism and professionalism. Established in Montreal, Canada – Moving Beyond promotes the development of dancers as overall artists while at the same time exposing them to diverse career opportunities and empowering them with the skills and knowledge to choose the path that feels right for them. 

Our motto: Train hard, diversify your skillset, remain authentic to the styles/cultures you participate in and remember that your job credits don’t define you.

The 2020-2021 season was lucky to learn from and share with:

  • Marty Kudelka (Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson and more)

  • Ant & Tal Sugarmann (Chicago Footwork - Creation Global)

  • Dana Wilson (In the Heights, Justin Timberlake)

  • Jennifer Bermeo (Bloc LA, Superbowl Halftime show with Justin Timberlake)

  • Rob Wilson (Litefeet)

  • Magdalena Marszalek (House Dance Montreal)

  • Alexandre “Bibiman” Philippe-Beaudoin (Funny Bones/Funky By Nature)

A huge thank you to Pascal Jodoin & Valmont Harnois for their continuous work within the program. A huge thank you to Christine Harrison from H4L Dance Company for providing us a safe space to train throughout this last year!
