Sarah began studying ballet under the guidance of Miss Carole Hall, successfully accomplishing all Cecchetti Grade examinations as a dancer.
But it was while she was training at National Theatre Ballet School that she first experienced the joys of teaching young children on Saturday mornings. Sarah is passionate about teaching children to fall in love with the art of ballet, especially the 2-5 year age! Some people have called her ‘crazy', and a 'child whisperer’, along with being told many times that she has the patience of a saint.
“Our patience will achieve more than our force” - Edmund Burke
Sarah completed her Licentiate Diploma in 2023.
