Abby Solak-Porter

Abby, being an Arizona native, grew up in Gilbert and has been dancing since the age of 5. She trained diversely and competed in styles such as Jazz, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Ballet, Tap, Clogging, Ballroom, and ventured into Pom and Cheer. Finding her groove in Hip Hop, she credits her training to Alyssa Vacco Daniello, a professional dancer and choreographer. In high school, Abby continued dancing at INSPIRE Entertainment and was offered a job as a dance teacher before graduating. She has been mentored by Krista Foutz (with INSPIRE’s Hip Hop Crew) and Shelley Van Shaar (with INSPIRE’s dance program) for the last 4 years. Abby is a proud Alumni of Williams Field High School where she was a member of Elite Dance Company (directed by Ashley Lewis Alexander), upholding the position of President. Her many dance endeavors sparked a passion for teaching, choreographing and inspiring other dancers. She has traveled around Central/Eastern Arizona, teaching and choreographing for INSPIRE Entertainment, Williams Field HS, Safford Dance Academy, McClintock HS, Cooley Middle School and ALA Queen Creek, where she is recognized for her movement quality and award winning choreography. Abby is known for her outgoing, bright personality, and brings an uplifting spirit wherever she goes. After getting married in April 2024, she moved up to the White Mountains but travels down to INSPIRE to continue teaching and dancing!
