Debbie Wilson is an independent artist who has worked in Canada since 1980. She began her professional career at the age of 12 with the Cincinnati Ballet Company, where she became a soloist performer and rehearsal assistant. She was the rehearsal mistress/dancer for the American Dance Machine, Les Ballet Jazz de Montreal, Howard Richard & Dancers as well as Ballet Jorgen. She also worked for the Judith Marcuse Repertory Dance Company, the Randy Glynn Dance Project and many independent choreographers across Canada and the United States.
As a choreographer, she created a repertoire of critically acclaimed productions including Aphrodite Unveiled, Raphael is Whispering and Homo Office Sapiensis which in 2002 received a Dora Mavor Moore nomination for Outstanding New Choreography. Through her international collaborative works like Planetarium (with Macedonia) and Diary of an Exile (with Trinidad and Tobago) she has introduced exceptional foreign artists in dance, music and art to Toronto while representing Toronto and Canada on the world stage.
In October 2005, Wilson was honoured to be invited to present Planetarium at the United Nations Assembly Hall in Geneva Switzerland for one of the events celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the United Nations.
Since 2009, Wilson has been mentoring several female dance artists who are developing their own unique choreographic voices: Lua Shayenne, Roshanak Jaberi, Victoria Mata Soledad and Esie Mensah.
Debbie has been a guest instructor for Step with Style since 2008 and later moved to the role of SWS’s Ballet examiner.
Currently, Debbie resides on faculty of Randolf School of the Performing Arts- Ontario’s leading performing arts school for Post-Secondary education. It is there she educates and examines their professional programs.
Debbie looks forward to working closely with Step with Style to execute the same quality of exams for our aspiring students.
