Cambell Walker
Founder and Resident Choreographer
Cambell, acts as the lead director and choreographer for FDC, and performs throughout Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. She has been dancing for the past 20 years, and presents her own voice as a dance maker, and upholds a platform for her community members to express their own. Our mission hinges on Cambell's philosophy that hosting spaces for dance education and performance, it is a responsibility to present a worldly-view of dance.
Kannika Hissom
Dancer (2026)
Kannika yearned, but lacked access to dance in her early life. As an adult, she sought training. Schools turned her away, claiming she was too old, too short, or lacked the right physique. Undeterred, Kannika rewrote her narrative, quickly developing her technique across multiple dance styles at Synergy Dance + Fitness and Dancenter.
As a dedicated mother and professional artist, she finds fulfillment through dance and sets an example for her daughters.
