SUPER SENIOR 💫 Sam Evans
Now that Nationals and our 2026 season has come to an end … we remember Sam Evans Super Senior and her final season at Evolve Dance Complex
Sam started dancing at the age of 1 when she would pull herself up to dance to “Single Ladies” by Beyoncé over and over again. She started in gymnastics at age 4. At 5 she attended a “Bring a Friend to Dance Day” with her cousin and cried when she couldn’t take tap because she didn’t have tap shoes, saying “you have to let me go in so I can make all my dreams come true!”
She took her first jazz and tap classes at 6 and the rest is history. By 12 she started to show a strong interest in choreography, competing her own solos by age 13.
Sam joined EDC in 2023. We were mesmerized by her unique, stylistic performance quality and choreography style. A passionate talented and strong storyteller through movement, uniquely her own, leaving audiences all over wanting to see more. We loved watching her grow over the years into the confident, dynamic dancer that she is today.
Sam was also named a Radix top elite protege winner in 2025 and traveled/assisted the amazing RADIX Dance Convention faculty for the 2026 dance season.
Sam was also selected as a 2026 YoungArts award winner with distinction in Choreography. The only choreography winner with distinction from thousands of applicants.

We are so proud of all of your accomplishments Sam and we know you will do great things with your endless amount of gifts and talents!
