Samantha Siegel

Samantha Siegel hails from the Bay Area of California, where she trained and competed in tap, jazz, ballet, hip-hop, and contemporary dance at Castro Valley Performing Arts and found a love for musical theatre in high school. Samantha graduated from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts in Dance in 2011. It was at NYU where she met her dance partner Brian Lawton. Together they specialize in the jazz and swing era dances and travel the world performing, choreographing, teaching, and directing together. As a performer, Samantha most recently can be spotted dancing in the Red Hot Chili Peppers music video “Go Robot”, and you may have also seen her audition montage as she was a Vegas finalist for “So You Think You Can Dance” in Season 5. In 2015, Samantha was in the original cast of the Broadway show SWING! for Norwegian Cruise Line, where she was co-dance captain and flight captain of the aerial bungee number. Now, she and Brian have transitioned into directing the show and teach a new cast for NCL twice a year. Together the two strive to learn and fuse many styles of dance and the histories and cultures in which they were originated.
