Her first professional post took her back to Edinburgh, teaching and entering pupils for RAD and ISTD examinations, up to advanced levels, in addition to preparing children to perform on stage in the school show and the annual Pantomime at the King’s Theatre.
In 2002, after moving to Germany, she continued teaching and examination work with children, together with private coaching, performance on stage, Pilates based Body Conditioning, and choreography.
More recently, having completed three years in the United States, she performed with the Northwest Florida Ballet Company, and taught free classes in ballet and modern techniques to children and adults, together with Pilates, private ballet coaching, and choreography for the NFB school performances, and local competitions. During her time in the USA, Sara was also invited to teach, on several occasions for ‘Okaloosa Walton College’ and the ‘Gainesville Ballet School’ summer schools.
In her spare time, she also enjoys participating in Salsa and Rueda dance classes and performances.
On return to Edinburgh, it was Sara’s ambition to set up her own ballet school where students have the opportunity to learn an enjoyment of dance, gain appreciation of dance as an art form and benefit from an enhanced sense of personal achievement. She has enjoyed many years of dance performance and teaching, and wishes to bring this enjoyment into the lives of others.
