October Faculty Bio’s
Peter Sabasino
Peter Sabasino, a native of Philadelphia, PA, began his dance training at the age of four at a local dance studio. It was there that he started out learning Ballet, Jazz, Hip-Hop and Tap but found that Tap and Hip-Hop were his home. At the age of fourteen, he was accepted into the High-school for Creative And Performing Arts as a dance major. It was there he expanded
his repertoire by adding Modern, African, Ballroom, and Broadway to his belt. It was here in high-school that he discovered his third love….Broadway Jazz. At the start of his senior year, Peter graduated his dance school and began traveling back and forth between Philadelphia and New York to study at studios such as Broadway Dance Center and Steps On Broadway, where he had the opportunity to train under such greats as Gregory Hines, Savion Glover, Barbara Duffy, Tyce Diorio, Rhapsody James, and Brian Green; just to name a few.
After graduating high-school, Peter continued his training at Indiana University of PA where he studied with Joan Van Dyke, the head of the Ballet program at the Governor’s School of the Arts. After college Peter was blessed with what he considers his biggest achievement and landed a spot as a Top 16 Finalist on Fox Television’s hit reality show, “So You Think You Can Dance” season 6 being the last of three Tap dancers to be eliminated. It was there that Peter believes his views and philosophies of dance were molded by the many amazing choreographers and dancers he was blessed to work with.
Peter recently landed a spot as a principal dancer in a commercial for Walt Disney World. He was also the choreographer on a television show called The Right Stuff, produced by Leonardo DiCaprio. Peter is also the Founder/Director of the Orlando Tap Company, and has his own dancers’ clothing line with his wife called Hashtag DanceSwag. Peter is currently a host/judge/instructor for a few very well-known dance competitions. He travels with them year round, and all throughout the world. He also now works with various studios and dancers in the New England area full time, since moving to Boston in 2023.
Peter continues to travel the world with various competitions and conventions; adjudicating, choreographing, and performing… but finds his TRUE LOVE is in teaching, inspiring, and instilling the knowledge that he has gained throughout his career with the up and coming dancers of tomorrow.
