Sadie’s passion for dance ignited at age three, beginning her foundations in ballet and tap at the Dorothy Rainer Sellars School of Dance in Opp, Alabama. Following over a decade of dedication there, she transitioned her primary focus to classical ballet in 2011, training under Laura Markus at École de Danse in DeFuniak Springs. Her performance portfolio between 2011 and 2015 includes seasonal productions of The Nutcracker, Carnival of the Animals, and various prestigious showcases. After graduating from Paxton High School, Sadie earned a spot on the University of West Florida’s collegiate dance team, the Argonettes. Throughout her tenure from 2015 to 2020, she became a versatile performer, excelling in jazz, pom, hip-hop, and lyrical styles while appearing at major athletic tournaments and community festivals like the Gulf Coast Arts Festival. Beyond her stage presence, Sadie developed her leadership as a team officer and senior captain, while also mentoring young dancers as an instructor during university summer clinics. She remained committed to her technical roots throughout her college years by continuing advanced ballet training at studios across Pensacola and at Absolute Dance Center. With a rich history of competitive experience and leadership, Sadie brings a comprehensive and disciplined approach to every class she leads, ensuring her students gain both technical skill and confidence.
