Our Team

With over 30 years of experience in dance education, performance production, and mentorship, Ms. Tobi has been shaping the next generation of performing artists in Winnipeg as well as nationally. In 2005, she founded Encore Studios (formerly Promenade Dance Academy) with a vision to create an inclusive and joyful space where all students—regardless of age or level—can thrive, grow, and celebrate their successes in dance. 

Driven by a deep passion for helping dancers grow and express themselves, Ms. Tobi believes that dance strengthens both the mind and body, that passion trumps talent when coupled with meaningful practice, and that everyone deserves the opportunity to shine. She is committed to making quality dance education accessible—whether as a recreational experience or a professional vocation—ensuring that every dancer has the chance to develop confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love for the art.

 Miss Anne is dedicated to ensuring that dancers and families receive a high-quality dance experience.  Known for her dedication, Miss Anne fosters self-discovery in dancers of all levels and teaches life skills through movement & creativity. 

She completed the Harbour Dance Centre’s Intensive Training Program in Vancouver and worked at various studios there as both a choreographer & teacher.

 As a professional dancer she has had the privilege of working with industry leading choreographers such as Carlo Atienza, Joe Tuliao, Jessa Doll, Nadia White & many more.

Encore Studios ignited Miss Anne’s love for performing which led her to work in acting & modeling.  As an actor, she has trained in Toronto, Los Angeles, Vancouver & Calgary and has appeared in various stage productions and movies as supporting and lead roles. 

Dance has been a transformative power in her life from a very young age, and she is driven to help dancers of all ages and levels reach their goals in her role as Artistic Director of Encore Studios.
