Meet Sam

Hi, I'm Sam!

I’ve been Irish dancing for over 20 years.

I started out as a competitive dancer before going on to tour the world professionally for five years across more than 30 countries with several productions, including Riverdance. Along the way, I was fortunate enough to perform on incredible stages such as Radio City Music Hall, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and on BBC One.

But despite all of those amazing opportunities, some of my favourite dance memories were never on a stage at all. They were in the studio, with no competition, no performance, and no pressure, just dancing for the pure joy of it alongside friends. Those moments of laughter, learning, and community are what made me fall in love with Irish dance in the first place, and they are a huge part of the inspiration behind Step Social.

Traveling, performing, and sharing my passion around the world was truly unforgettable.

Now, my husband and I have put roots in Hampshire, where he is originally from!

While I am not originally from Hampshire, I’m so excited to build community here through the best way I know how… Irish dancing 💚

I truly believe Irish dancing is FOR EVERYONE.

It’s incredibly feel-good, a brilliant way to stay active, learn something new, have some fun, and meet amazing people along the way.

Over the years, I’ve taught people of all ages and levels, and I absolutely love sharing this joy with others.

Seeing people grow in confidence, find community, and have fun is the best part.

Whether you’ve never danced before, think you have 2 left feet, or used to dance and want to come back for fun…this is your chance!

Step Social Hampshire is a completely non-competitive, inclusive space for adults to learn, move, laugh, and connect.

No pressure. No experience needed. Just good energy and great people. I honestly cannot wait to bring this to the Hampshire community and dance with you all soon!
