RAD RTS, AISTD, ALAM, Member IDTA

Sarah trained at Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts and later qualified with the Royal Academy of Dance. After 5 years as a freelance teacher, Sarah founded her own school in 1990 with just 10 pupils. In 1993 she took over Twickenham Academy from the late Miss Roberts and from small beginnings the school now has over 300 pupils. Having been approached by the Royal Academy to train for examining, Sarah chose to dedicate her time to her school but hopes to revisit the opportunity in the near future. Sarah is constantly furthering her knowledge with training courses and has recently completed a series of professional development seminars at the Royal Ballet School.

    "I just wanted to say thank you and what a fantastic show you produced! Talia enjoyed every minute of it and said how she ‘loved to dance’ on stage! Any nerves disappeared! All the girls were amazing, such talent!"

    aboutTestimonial2

    "Being a teaching assistant has taught me so much and is genuinely one of my favourite things that comes with being a part of Twickenham Academy. It is so rewarding to see all the children learn so much from you, Charlotte and Louise and how much fun they have . . . thank you for giving me the opportunity to become as involved in the dance school as I am."

    "Thank you so much for being the best dance teacher and I will never ever forget you and Twickenham Academy"

    aboutTestimonial4

    "There hasn't been one day that Bella hasn't wanted to go to dance class. She has made great friends, been a part of a fantastic community and it's always been a space away from everything else which has been a brilliant support . . . I don't think many dance teachers achieve that balance which is why TA is a special dance school."

    aboutTestimonial5

    "When you first started rehearsals a year ago none of us parents could believe how complex the choreography was . . . We were sceptical you would manage to pull it from the girls given their young age . . . And yet you did and not only that, they achieved 90% in their very first festival! Wow! It was a wonderful lesson in the power of aiming high and practice, practice, practice!"
