Sandra began tap dancing at the age of three with Mr Les Griffith and Ballet at the age of five with Tessa Maunder. Sandra completed all her Tap Exams with excellent results and was also very successful in Eisteddfod solos. At the age of twelve it was apparent that Sandra had a natural gift for Ballet and it was then that she decided to hang up her Tap shoes to specialise in Classical Ballet, much to Mr Griffith's disappointment. Sandra completed her R.A.D. Ballet Exams with honours and was very successful in Eisteddfods winning many Championships and Scholarships.
Sandra's next achievement in the Ballet world was teaching for Marie Walton Mahon's Dance Academy where she became Deputy Principal. Sandra held this position for fifteen years and in that time taught all levels of Ballet, Eisteddfod solos & groups, prepared students for annual examinations and trained those preparing for a career in the dancing industry. Many of the students she mentored are now dancing professionally here and overseas in companies such as The Australian Ballet.
Sandra's aim is to help students be the best they possibly can and to be proud of them selves at whatever level they allow themselves to reach.
