Testimonial

”Sarah was my first ballet teacher. I started taking her jazz class. I never intended to take ballet because I found it intimidating and ‘too serious’. I just wanted to have fun! And jazz with Sarah was a lot of fun! But then one day Sarah said to me ‘You should take ballet. It’s the foundation.’ So, of course, I started taking her ballet class. And I loved it. Sarah was able to make it fun for me. She is an amazing teacher and a wonderful person. The class I took was a beginner class, but some of the students were coming back to ballet, and others, like me, were total beginners. Different skill levels in the same class, but Sarah was able to make the class interesting and rewarding for everybody. She is very patient, passionate about teaching and she really ‘sees’ you. I have learned a lot from her.” ~ Silvia Hipple, Studio: Open Door Studios
