Rhonda Roberts (Smid) is a dance adjudicator, choreographer and former stage and screen performer. She’s also a fitness trainer and university instructor.

Rhonda has been dancing for over 40 years—15 of that as a professional. She has been adjudicating for nearly two decades.

Her career has included performing across North America and Europe in productions like the Tony® Award-Winning Disney’s The Lion King and the Tony® Award-Winning Ragtime. Similarly, she has entertained on the stages of the Stratford Festival in musicals like Guys and Dolls and Anything Goes and has many other well-known productions to her credit.

When you spend years doing 8 demanding shows a week, you have to know how to maintain your body. You also have to know how to nurture a good sense of humour. That’s what you will get when you work with Rhonda—a serious session blended with fun and thoughtfulness.

Rhonda has also appeared on television and the big screen including in the Academy® Award-winning film Chicago and the dance classic Hairspray: The Movie.

And of course, she has also been a sought-after dance adjudicator across North America for nearly two decades and has spent the last 7 years instructing in the Faculty of Phys. Ed. at the University of Toronto.

Rhonda has a B.A. from McMaster, The Triple Threat Award from The Randolph Academy, a Guthrie Award from the Stratford Festival, and more recently was a Top 3 finalist for CanFitPro Fitness Professional of the Year.


In August of 2016, a jury at CanFitPro selected Rhonda as one of its 3 finalists for Fitness Professional of the Year.

1997 Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts, Triple Threat Award.
