About Sarah: Sarah's love for all things movement and creativity began in her early childhood and blossomed into adulthood when she moved to Toronto at the age of 17 to become a triple threat performer. With Step Up, 5: All In the movie, Mary Poppins the musical, music videos and television performances under her belt, Sarah feels great importance in sharing the power of movement, performance, creativity, self-discovery and connection to the growing youth as well as adults.
Over the last 7 years, Sarah has focused on teaching dance and movement to all ages ranging from 6 months old to 50 + in dance studios, daycares, elementary schools, community centres, high schools, corporate businesses and gymnastic centres. Last year Sarah quit her 11-year career working with the mentally disabled and moved back to the Eastern Townships, her home, to become a small business owner. During her career with the mentally disabled, she encountered burnout, depression and learned how to rise above with self-love, movement and action.
She aspires to continue teaching the importance of movement, dance and self-love to small children and adults alike. As a group fitness instructor and personal trainer, she also assumes her role as a body acceptance and self-love teacher. She now runs an online gym providing virtual fitness and wellness classes, movement programs, private training, group training, dance classes for all ages and dance programs in elementary schools.
