A warm welcome to Coach Sammie



Samantha Allen began dancing at three years old and still continues to dance today. She danced with the Crystal Lake Park District Crystal Attitudes pom squad and studied tap, jazz, ballet and hip hop at the Algonquin Academy of Dance.
Sammie continued her love of poms at Lundahl Middle School for three years and Crystal Lake South High School for four years. She was the Captain of the JV team and co-captain her senior year for the varsity team. The Crystal Lake South Gatorettes competed in Pom and Kick and won the state title in kick through TDI in 2009.
After high school Sammie attended The University of Iowa where she participated in classes through the University of Iowa Dance Club and the UI college dance program. She also was a member of the RiderGirl dance team for the semi-professional Cedar Rapids Hockey team her senior year.
Sammie is so excited to be a Premier Poms coach and can’t wait to help the dancers create their own memories through dance that will last a lifetime!
