Meet Stephanie
Stephanie Benson is a Dance and Theatre Arts double major with a minor in Education. She grew up training in musical theatre, liturgical, concert and commercial dance and through those experiences derived a passion for storytelling and spreading joy. Through college, she has performed in a variety of shows in and outside of LMU, some favorites including Carrie the Musical (Dance Captain/Ensemble), with MidLife Dance Project, Everybody (Everybody/Somebody), and Save The Pier! (Colleen, Dir. Paul Sand). Stephanie also choreographed The 25th… Spelling Bee, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Company at the Del Rey Players and co-choreographed the tap piece Entangled which she performed at LMU’s Spring Dance Concert and ACDA. Since high school, Stephanie has taught dance in LA and OC, inspired to pass on knowledge and freedom of expression to younger generations.
Stephanie plans to continue her training in dancing, acting, and singing as she explores musical theatre dance opportunities in NYC. She would love to dance in musicals, perform on a cruise line, be a dance captain/swing, and work as an assistant or associate choreographer. Stephanie also wants to continue to teach and create an impact in performing arts education and nonprofits.
