MEET SARAH
Director, Dance Academy
Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m proud to lead the Dance Academy at Lakeland Hills YMCA.
I’ve been dancing since the age of two and began my teaching career after dancing through college. With experience in acro, ballet, tap, and jazz, I focus on creating a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment where dancers of all levels can build confidence, develop skills, and enjoy the process.
Over the past year, it’s been incredibly rewarding to build and grow our dance program within the YMCA community. Whether your child is new to dance or continuing their training, our goal is to create a space where every dancer feels confident, engaged, and excited to participate.
Dance is also incorporated into our summer camp experience, giving even more opportunities for kids to explore movement, creativity, and self-expression.
We can’t wait to dance with you!
