Three different backgrounds, one shared belief: the love of dance is what brings us here.
Steven is passionate about fostering meaningful connections through the performing arts and creating an environment where dancers, educators, and families feel welcomed, supported, and inspired. His leadership, creativity, and genuine relationships within the dance community have helped shape Canvas of Dance into more than a competition—it's a place where people belong.
Steven believes dance has the power to build confidence, lifelong friendships, and unforgettable memories. His vision is for every participant to leave Canvas of Dance feeling celebrated, encouraged, and excited for what comes next in their journey.
Matthew brings years of experience in event production, organization, and creative planning, paired with a passion for creating memorable experiences through the performing arts. He believes that the best events are built on thoughtful preparation, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to the people they serve.
At Canvas of Dance, Matthew works to ensure every competition is professionally produced, seamlessly executed, and focused on celebrating the dedication and artistry of every performer. His goal is for every studio to leave knowing they were part of something truly special.
Allison grew up in dance—spending years in studios, on stages, and everywhere in between. Those experiences instilled in her a lifelong appreciation for the performing arts, the discipline it demands, the vulnerability of stepping on stage, and the pride that comes from watching dedication transform into performance.
Professionally, Allison built a career in event operations, where she learned that the most memorable experiences are often created by the countless details happening behind the scenes. Canvas of Dance is the perfect blend of those two passions, combining her love of dance with her commitment to creating exceptional events where every dancer, teacher, and family feels valued from the moment they arrive.
Together, Matt, Steven & Allie believe dance is about more than trophies and scores. It is about confidence, artistry, growth, and creating moments that dancers will remember for a lifetime. Through Canvas of Dance, they strive to inspire performers, support studio owners and teachers, and provide an event where every participant leaves feeling proud of what they accomplished.
Their shared vision continues to guide Canvas of Dance as it grows into one of New England’s premier dance competition experiences, built on integrity, creativity, and a genuine love for the art of dance.
