Beauty and grace best describe ballet instructor Morgan Robbins.

Sarah views teaching as a tool to inspire and encourage so sharing her passion and experience with others is what she has done for decades. "The greatest gain for me is when I see a student smiling with such pride or giddy with excitement when they execute something they felt they would never get right. And, of course, just seeing the expression and joy… the freedom and peace coming from deep within the dancer when they start to move around on the floor brings me such pride because I know that exact feeling so well."
