SARAH SCANDRETT, from Xalapa, Mexico, began her professional ballet training at the age of 15 at the Joffrey Ballet School in New York. After two years, she had the opportunity to train under Edward Ellison at the Ellison Ballet Professional Training Program. During her four years there, she performed many challenging pieces, including the wedding pas de deux from The Sleeping Beauty, as well as original choreography of Ave María created for her by Mr. Ellison.

She then apprenticed at Alabama Ballet for two years under Tracey Alvey, where she had the opportunity to dance the role of Dulcinea in the company’s production of Don Quixote.

Since joining First State Ballet Theatre in 2022, Sarah has had the pleasure of dancing a variety of roles, including Queen of the Dryads in Don Quixote, the Dying Swan, Dracula’s Brides in Dracula, the Prayer Variation in Coppélia, Little Red Riding Hood in The Sleeping Beauty, as well as Melody Pas de Deux, Rosaline in Romeo and Juliet, Chopiniana Pas de Deux and the role of The Dreamer in Victor Plotnikov’s Nonsense in the Sense of Innocence.

In addition to dancing with the FSBT Company, Sarah teaches at the FSBT school, where she will be returning for her third year! Sarah is very excited for her fifth season with FSBT.
