About Sarah K.

5.0

(5)

My name is Sarah & I absolutely LOVE working with students one on one, no matter your age, or experience level. I am available to work with you at your home, my home, or online. I am experienced in a variety of dance styles as well as Pilates, Yoga, and PiYo. I have been teaching ballet since 1996, when I started my own creative dance class for the tots in our home school co-op. My love for Pilates started around that same time, and I have been teaching Pilates since 2004. I love to integrate elements of Pilates, Yoga and Dance all together, and enjoyed dancing professionally for 10 years before my first child was born in 2012. I love to teach beginning level adults just as much as children of all ages, and have been told I have great energy while teaching! I received my BFA degree, focus in Ballet, from Belhaven University (Jackson, MS) in 2001. In 2002 I moved to Houston, TX, to join Ad Deum Dance Company. I performed and taught with Ad Deum for 4 years, after which time I continued dancing with Psophonia and Festival Ballet of Houston, and Armstrong/Bergeron and Talitha Dance companies of College Station. I taught all levels and genres of dance (except Hip-Hop) at Houston Metropolitan Dance Center for 6 years, taught a graded Pilates course at Rice University, was on staff at Suzanne's School of Dance (College Station) for 4 years and oversaw the transition to the Sonshine Ballet Syllabus. I have also been a guest teacher at Houston Ballet and Texas A&M University. I have my certification in Pilates Mat 1, Pilates Reformer 1, PiYo and many years of Yoga training.

Sarah is very professional and a joy to be taught be her. She is always on time and gets to know her students so she can help prepare a lesson. She teaches different techniques and makes them easy to understand.

Sarah is so sweet and really knowledgable about the exercises and stretches required to succeed in ballet! She adapted our class to my interests, and is very encouraging and gives great corrections. I absolutely recommend working with Sarah!!
