Sarah & Grace Hilarides, Guest Faculty
Sarah started her career with a musical theater and dance degree from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, working as a professional actress and choreographer in San Francisco and Chicago. After growing up dancing on the Showbiz stage, she thought of no better place than to come on board with Primetime dance as an Emcee in 2008. From there, 15 years later, she is the Director of PrimeTime Dance, Director of Showbiz the Next Step, and does marketing for all 3 companies under the Showbiz umbrella. She also has a heavy hand in designing the Showbiz /Primetime Merch as well as all things national planning related. “The love is in the details.”
Sarah travels year-round choreographing as a dynamic duo with her very talented sister, Grace “Panda”, who is also part of the Showbiz family and The Next Step Convention.
Grace Hilarides grew up in Battle Creek, Michigan where she danced competitively from the ages of 6-17. Grace went on to attend Western Michigan University and graduated in 2018 with a BFA in Dance. Currently, Grace is living in New York City where she dances professionally, working with choreographers such as Hayden Frederick, Steven Blandino and Moriah Markowitz. Grace is also fortunate to be able to travel the U.S teaching and choreographing for different studios, as well as working with Showbiz National Talent and The Next Step. She looks forward to creating a safe and fun space for all dancers.
Isabelle Vigil, Faculty
Isabelle Vigil knew she was a performer very early on. She was always dressing up and putting on shows in her living room for her mom and grandma. She began taking dance seriously when she was eleven years old. She began training regularly in various styles and dancing on a team. Her involvement with her home studio opened the door for many performance opportunities including dancing in shows, music videos, and entertaining at local events. Isabelle is currently working towards a BFA in contemporary dance at the University of New Mexico, and dances on the UNM Lobo Dance Team. She is also a proud Albuquerque Dance Collaborative alumni.
Isabelle began choreographing on her own at 13 years old. She enjoys the creative freedom of being a choreographer. She has found that there is nothing more satisfying than people enjoying a piece that she created or took part in creating. She finds that the most important part of creating a piece is evoking emotion from the audience.
