MEET THE PEOPLE BEHIND SDF DANCE TOURS
Sheu Fortunato - Founder & Tour Director
With 21 years of experience as a Tour Director in New York, London, Paris, Barcelona, Lisbon, Athens & Hawaii, Sheu has combined his lifelong love of dance, travel and history to create experiences that go far beyond the studio. Having toured 1,843 dancers, family members and friends around the world, he is passionate about finding the perfect balance of dance, culture, history and fun. Fluent in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish, Sheu is constantly exploring, refining and reimagining each destination to make every tour better than the last.
Mariah Rivers - Assistant Tour Director
Mariah joined SDF Dance Tours 10 years ago, bringing with her extensive experience in the dance community, along with a creative background in acting and fashion photography. Her eye for detail, understanding of dancers and creative perspective have made her an integral part of the SDF experience, helping create tours that are organized, memorable and filled with moments dancers and families will carry with them long after they return home.
Together
For Sheu & Mariah, SDF Dance Tours truly is a family affair. As parents of three, their children have grown up travelling alongside them and have become a familiar part of the SDF experience. That family perspective is at the heart of every tour they create, bringing together exceptional dance training, unforgettable destinations and experiences that dancers, parents, siblings and teachers can all enjoy together. Because on an SDF Dance Tour, it’s never just about where you go, it’s about who you experience it with.
