Angela Tucker
Angela began her dance training at the age of five, studying Ballet, Jazz, Ballroom, and Latin dance. Following her work with a professional dance company, she was hired by Seneca College, where she spent eight years developing and leading dance and fitness programs for both adults and children. During her tenure at Seneca, Angela designed the Fitness Leadership Training Program, along with numerous curriculum-based dance programs.
Throughout her teaching career, Angela has contributed extensively to dance education. She is the author of a published book, produced an instructional video on Couples Dancing, and created Teddy & Me Workout, an innovative dance and fitness program for children. In 1982, she appeared as a guest host on CBC’s Fitness People. In 1986, she fulfilled her lifelong dream of opening her own dance studio, which has since grown to three locations across York Region.
With more than 40 years of experience in the dance industry, Angela has received numerous awards for her contributions and currently serves on several advisory boards. Beyond her own achievements, Angela’s influence can be seen in the success of her former teaching staff and students, many of whom are now active professionals in the industry. Several have gone on to establish their own studios, launch businesses, and build distinguished careers in dance and fitness, further extending the legacy of her work. She is grateful to have built a successful career from her passion for dance and takes great pride in sharing that passion with her students, her colleagues, and her family.
