Director, choreographer and performer Samantha Diaz is one of the finest dancers from her hometown Lima, Peru. During her early years, Samantha trained in different styles such as Samba, Flamenco, Hip-Hop and Modern Dance. In 2002, Samantha arrived in the United States settling in NYC, where she would soon begin choreographing and performing at venues like the Showtime at the Apollo Theater, the United Nations, the Bollywood Music Awards, the CW11 News and more.

In 2004, Samantha created Dance Soul Company, a dance troupe dedicated to creating fusions of different dance styles.
