Samantha Felling

Sam fell in love with Irish Dancing at the age of six and hasn’t looked back since. Sam has had the privilege of touring with the prestigious and original Irish Dance production, Riverdance, across the United States and Mexico. She has also performed with renowned productions such as Celtic Illusion, Rhythm of The Dance, Avalon Celtic Dances, and ‘Aisling’ where she starred as a principal dancer. Sam has been on the road touring professionally full-time for the past 2 years, performing for audiences in over 20 countries. WIth the performance and industry knowledge she has gained during her career, she is now very excited to embark on this new journey with her soon-to-be husband, Oli Gething, whom she met dancing on tour back in 2022. Sam cannot wait to share the same infectious energy of Irish Dancing that catapulted her dance journey 20 years ago with audiences across the Midwest. It has been a long-time dream of Sam's to create a professional Irish Dance company that will bring more professional Irish Dance opportunities to dancers in the Midwest region.

Oli Gething

Oli began Irish Dancing in the south of England at the age of five and quickly fell in love with it as a sport and art form. Following competitive success at the international level, he made his break onto the professional scene with the broadway show ‘Riverdance’. He has since performed hundreds of shows across the world with Riverdance, as well as performing in prestigious productions such as the American Company of Irish Dance ‘s ‘Aisling’, and most recently as principal dancer in The National Dance Company of Ireland ‘s ‘Rhythm of the Dance’.
Oli can’t wait to use his experience in choreography and performance to share authentic and contemporary Irish dance across the Midwest.
