More Speakers
CECILIA MARTINI MUTH received her BFA in Dance in
1997 from UCSB. Her passion in the arts extends from
movement on the stage to movement of the page. Cecilia
owns CCDesign Graphics and Marketing, is president of the
SB Dance Alliance, and is the marketing directer for funKshades. Her clients include many nonprofit organizations
such as the Lobero, Ventura County Music Festival, CASA LA,
Planned Parenthood, Speaking of Stories, SB Dance Alliance,
Art Without Limits and a number of local businesses. Cecilia lives in Santa Barbara with her husband and two children.
SAMUEL McKAIG, billed as Sammy Styles, discovered breakdancing when he was 13, and like most guys at that age, he
had too much energy and no place to put it. While many of his
friends followed the path of drugs, gangs and prisons, Sammy’s family encouraged him to follow his passion and because
of this, he is now one of the top professionals in his field, flown
across the globe, teaching hundreds of students, performing
in major shows, and filming commercials and motion pictures.
