Make An Impact: Challenge Yourself

Victoria is a tap dancer, performer, adjudicator, and educator based in Toronto, Ontario. Growing up in the competitive dance scene, she received training in ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, hip hop, and modern at a competitive level, and for the next decade she performed in several competitions across Canada. Since 2011, her focus shifted to tap dance, where she began training at the Tap Dance Centre (Kim Chalovich), Toronto Rhythm Initiative Summer Youth Intensives (Toffan Rhythm Projects), and competed at the IDO World Tap Dance Championships in 2012 in Riesa, Germany. 

In her professional dance career, Victoria was commissioned to choreograph and present work at the 2024 Toronto International Tap Dance Festival (Toffan Rhythym Projects), where she also worked as a speaker, workshop director, and production intern. Victoria has presented and performed in her choreography at showcases “Fever After Dark” (Jerome Bobb) and “Unite: Dance Showcase” (Kiana Smith), as well as in “Explorations in Sound” produced by The Rhythm Ensemble (Juliana Kelly). She performed as a residency dancer in both the 2017 and 2022 Toronto International Tap Dance Festival (Toffan Rhythm Projects), working with established dancers and musicians both locally and internationally, as well as Rhythm & Sound’s “Revamped” (Johnathan Morin & Cori Giannotta). 

Most recently, Victoria is proud to produce and present her first dance and live music full length show "Neo Soul Ties" in August 2025, involving a 16-dancer and 5-musician cast, original choreography, dance and music improvisation, celebrating the music of neo soul.

She cherishes the inspiration and support she graciously receives from mentors Allison Toffan, Juliana Kelly, and Ryan Foley, striving to pass that on through her performances, teaching, and connections.
