Introduction: I'm Sarah, an independent professional ballroom and latin dance instructor based in the San Francisco Bay Area! I've been Ballroom Dancing for all of my life, I started out in New Zealand continued on to represent England, and now the USA. I also hold competitive titles throughout the world! My partner and I are currently 4th in the USA! I pride myself in my teaching. I've been creating wedding dances, competitive choreography and show dances since the age of 16 for students and studios, throughout the world. I love being able to make individuals enjoy their dancing, whether they've just started or they're seasoned pros. I feel that my travels and experiences in have given me the training needed to be a very adaptive teacher. Every person has a different pace of learning, and everyone has a unique style of learning that works best for them. I enjoy finding out how my students learn best and then cater to that learning process. My priorities in teaching anyone how to dance, are to make sure they are comfortable, enjoying themselves, and are given the best technical advice to put ease into the learning process! The best thing about hiring an independent dance instructor is that you are not charged the pricey overhead fees that studios and large businesses charge! As well as gaining a better relationship with your teacher, to book lessons when ever you want and negotiate package prices! Whether you're interested in wedding dance lessons, social dance, or competitive dance... adults or kids I would love to hear from you and get you started in your dancing journey!
