Tori Brindis is a Portland-based freelance choreographer, adjudicator, and educator whose career bridges the spaces of studio dance, musical theatre, and show choir. With a background spanning numerous stage productions and extensive training in diverse dance styles, she holds a B.A. in Spanish Language with a minor in Dance. After college Tori moved out to California to pursue a performance career in commercial dance. While in LA, Tori performed in music videos, live productions, choreography showcases, LA Fashion Week, and Tokyo Disney’s Little Mermaid attraction. She now travels nationally as a full-time show choir choreographer and adjudicator, collaborating with many competitive programs and All-State Show Choirs. When she isn’t traveling for show choir you can find her teaching dance classes in Portland, OR or enjoying her time at home with her husband, Cazz, and their dog, Barsa. Tori is deeply honored to share her passion for performance and artistry with the ACDA community and is so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be part of this wonderful event.
