Highlight Acts

Sami Dare

 

Sami Dare was born in Minneapolis, MN, grew up in Virginia, MN, and spent much of her childhood on stage singing with her six siblings and her parents who are both Lutheran ministers. As a teenager, her family moved back to Minneapolis, and she’s lived there since that time.
Sami graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College in St Peter, MN with a degree in Elementary Education. When she became interested in hypnosis in 1991, she apprenticed on stage for two years with an established stage hypnotist, and studied hypnotherapy to become a certified hypnotherapist.
She has produced a self-hypnosis CD for people who want to quit smoking, stop overeating, or simply learn how to manage daily stress. Sami has been performing on stage since 1993, in almost every state in the US, including Hawaii.
