Sarah Foster
Sarah has trained at the Academy of Classical Ballet since she was a young teenager. She has the qualities of a "born teacher", knowing how to balance discipline in the classroom with freedom of movement. She follows the prescribed syllabus for each age group she teaches. Parents love her. Students love her. Sarah is also studying to become a teacher in the public school system. We are fortunate to have her expertise. Sarah is also a member of our company, Classical Dance Theatre.
