The Dance Teacher – A Dancers’ Point of View: A conversation with a Former 1st Soloist of Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet
At Dance Education Canada we know that by allowing our dance educators to hear a variety of perspectives with regards to teaching dance, that they will become more well-rounded dance educators that will allow them to access a variety of sources and strategies in these diverse studio environments. Which is why the perspective of the dancer matters. Today we are gaining some insight into the life of a professional ballerina. We will hear about some teaching styles that inspired her, and those that left her feeling weak and humiliated. We are very excited to have the brave, transparent, articulate, motivated and hardworking Sarah Murphy Dyson speaking with us today.
GUEST: Sarah Murphy-Dyson was a 1st soloist with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. After retirement, she was cast in the North American premiere of Dirty Dancing (Mirvish) which brought her to Toronto. Sarah has appeared on such shows as Suits, Diggstown, Rookie Blue, The Next Step, and as Isabelle’s ballet teacher in the recent American Girl movie. She has won a Gemini Award and has worked as a stunt double for Milla Jovovich, Kate Beckinsale and Jaime King. Ms. Murphy-Dyson holds a BFA in theatre from the University of Winnipeg.
