About Sara P.
4.9
(85)
Hello! I'm Sara! (Based in NYC)
I started dancing at the age of 3. I am well versed in Ballet, Modern and Contemporary Dance. I attended Joffrey San Antonio (2004) and Paul Taylor New York (2010) intensives. Once moving to NYC, I attended the TAKE Dance intensive (2011) and the Lar Lubovitch intensive (2012).
While in high school I taught Ballet, Jazz, Pre-Pointe and Pointe classes to dancers age 3-14.
In 2011 I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ballet Pedagogy (which is the art or science of teaching).
Moving to NYC 11 years ago I have been focused on performing with such dance companies as Exit 12 Dance Company (2011-2012) and Community Dance Project (2013-2014). While not dancing with specific companies I have choreographed and danced in music videos as well.
I can't express my love for teaching enough! To know that I could help spark the passion for dance is extremely inspiring.
BEFORE PURCHASING LESSONS:
Please include your availability in your messages! Or ask for your preferred availability to see if that time is open!
I would prefer to teach students with professional or aerobic goals. Social dancing is not one of my subjects. For partner dances, I would recommend searching for 'Ballroom Dance'.
There is a 15 minute window for late students. After 15 minutes, the lesson will be counted as "missed".

As adult ballet starter who enjoys learning, I have been looking for a teacher who can touch on the anatomy and physiology of dance, and the history of ballet and techniques to at a higher level. Also, I've had many group classes however, I was always felt like I was struggling to really solidify basics down - which I feel is important especially for injury prevention. Fast forward, having worked with Sara for several sessions, I absolutely can vouch for her. Not only is she a solid teacher who gives detailed feedback and able to accommodate your needs to help you be better, she shows her pure passion for dance even at a beginner level which I truly appreciate. I am excited and looking forward to continuing my ballet journey under her guidance.
