Dante fell in love with performing at the Etobicoke School of the Arts in 10th grade. Since then, Dante has pursued all kinds of workshops, classes, and shows. His studies range from the Royal Conservatory of Music’s summer voice program & Ryerson summer dance intensive in 2019 to stage combat training and working in the film and TV industry. Even though Dante’s training has been musical theatre oriented, he also has experience working as a film and TV actor.
When not performing, Dante enjoys a mix of physical and artistic activities. Dante enjoys playing sports whenever he can, walking, working out, swimming, and sailing (Dante has his CANSail 3). In quiet moments you will find him playing guitar, and piano, video games, journaling, and daydreaming while listening to music. You can also find Dante in Brockville on Wednesdays at The Texas Tavern performing at the open mic nights with the “Jamme Crew” and his plug-in piano named Fred (Fred was a name given to his piano by his kids that he taught at Maurice Cody Children Camp 2022 in Toronto). Dante has big aspirations for his career that not only include stage and on-camera work but behind the scenes, as a script and songwriter.
Dante is a soon-to-be, proud graduate of St. Lawrence College’s Music Theatre - Performance program. Dante’s interest in theatre began in high school and he has strived to hone his skills in all aspects of performing from stage combat to dancing, singing and acting, and more! Dante loves learning and pushing himself to the limit.
A few of Dante’s past credits include "Mike" in "Let's Dance" (SLC/Terra Bruce, 2022), “The Fairy” in Back & Forth at the Toronto Fringe Festival (Nightjan Productions, 2022), “Munkustrap” in CATS (St. Lawrence College, 2021), “Lewis” in Pippin (St. Lawrence College 2022), “John/Chase” in the full-length student feature film King of the Night (Microphone Productions, 2021), “Bob Fosse, Fosse Dancer, Singer “in Exhibition A Collective Archive (St. Lawrence College 2021), and “Syd” in The Tragedy of the Clanks at TIFF (Directed by William McIntosh, 2019).
Dante has not made his journey alone. He can’t find the words to thank his friends, family, and teachers that have supported him along the way. Dante appreciates their support, help and guidance. This includes Pattie Kelly, Ben Chiasson, the Musical Theatre/Dance/& Acting major teachers that he studied with at Etobicoke School of the Arts, his parents, and all his teachers at St. Lawrence College.
Dante appreciates your interest and thanks you for having taken the time to read this.
