Hello Everyone, Here's what I have on offer for the Autumn term 2022 and beyond! 1) On Fridays I have an online (and live if you live near enough to Highbury North London!) young vocational class and pointe work coaching class. (10 - 14 yrs) The term is 12 weeks in length and commences Friday 16th September. 2) I have private/semi private coaching classes throughout the day on both Saturdays and Sundays. Classes can be taken for 1 hour, 90 minutes or 2 hours and are bespoke for each students individual needs. Priority is given to students who are signing up for a regular slot but I keep some lessons free for less frequent requests! These classes can be taken online or live. The classes are open to vocational students who wish to enhance their training; pre-vocational students who are preparing for auditions over the coming year and professional dancers wishing for a technique boost! (There is a small amount of availability during week days and evenings too) 3) I have non-vocational ballet and jazz classes for teenagers and young adults who love to dance but are taking it recreationally rather than vocationally. These classes are held in Highbury North London. These are super fun and a great workout for young people! Please feel free to email me sarah@sarahtoner.co.uk or DM me on Instagram sarahtoner45 for more information or a chat about how I can help! I don't post much but I a still around Love and best wishes, Sarah xxx

Thank you so much xxx

Thank you so much lovely people for your very kind words 😍 I couldn't have imagined being more passionate about anything other than my performing career; but I absolutely adore teaching; and it gives me so much pleasure to see dancers thrive (not just survive) in this profession! I had some amazing teachers when I was training and also throughout my career; so I feel very honoured that I have learnt from some of the best!! And I have still have a fantastic mentor to check in with if I feel I could explain something better! Just as you never stop learning as a performer, you definitely never stop learning as a teacher; we are all part of a truly fascinating profession! I am a very lucky lady to have had, and still have, so many fabulous students and also very supportive parents! You all make my day, every day!! Thank you xxx

Hello Parents and Dancers. Just a reminder that I have ballet coaching running all summer this year! Classes are based in Highbury, North London; but can also be taken on zoom for anyone who can't get to London. For information and fees please email me sarah@sarahtoner.co.uk or send me a direct message on Instagram sarahtoner45 I focus on confidence building; audition preparation; technique-technique-technique!! Artistry... Basically the whole banana... with humour and kindness! Self promotion makes me nauseous 😂 But I hope this helps for you to get to know me a little. I am a former dancer with Birmingham Royal Ballet, London City Ballet, The National Ballet of Portugal and a whole gamut of freelance work in between! I love, love, love teaching and have over 35 years of teaching experience, 9 years teaching at Rambert School, and I have coached very many dancers; professional and students. I don't post my students or their successes (apart from my daughter because she's family and she has always allowed me to use her for advertising my classes!) it's the dancers hard work that gets them to where they deserve to be. I just deliver a good recipe to help them get there! However if it helps to know, my students are scattered throughout nearly every UK vocational school plus Companies all over the world 😉 I hope this helps but please feel free to message me, preferably by email or by DM on Instagram, with any questions! Love Sarah xx

Hello Everyone. It's a long time since I have visited BalletCoforum 😂 But I have had enquiries recently from Parents and Dancers who use this forum (and thank you to the lovely Parents and Dancers who recommended me 😘) So, if anyone is looking for Private or Semi Private Ballet Coaching over the summer please do get in touch with me. I am in London all summer this year so do make the most of me! I am not sure if it is ok to put my email so huge apologies if I am messing things up here! sarah@sarahtoner.co.uk and I am on Instagram sarahtoner45 Happy Dancing everyone!! 💝

I haven't visited Balletcoforum for a long time (too busy teaching ha-ha!) But you have asked for success stories and so here is a one! (And I can help BTW if anyone is in need of a confidence boost, technique boost, (Sarah Boost as I call it!) for their hard working dancer in training. But that's a different post I guess... My daughter left Vocational training at the end of year 11 aged just 16. I trained her myself for the next three years (some of that time over Covid lockdowns of course) and she took open classes too when possible. She auditioned and was chosen to dance with English National Ballet for their Nutcracker season 2021 and following that she was offered a full time contract. So dreams do come true!! Full time vocational training is not the be all and end all; if it's not for you then find another way! It's expensive whichever route you choose... but... A dancer's mental health, confidence and continued passion for their subject is of the utmost important; they won't dance forever and ideally will leave their career with positive experiences and memories and still have love for their art form! Vocational school is not for everyone but that doesn't mean no career! Happy dancing Folks!! 💝💝💝

When I joined this forum I was committed to keeping post regular and interesting! Fail!! Life, motherhood and extra teaching has put a stop to that! However I have just finished a wonderful 6 months at Rambert School and now finally have a minute to think and communicate! If your dancers aged 8+ and up to 16 years of age are looking for some summer performance fun! And you can commute to Highbury, North London, then do consider my 'Summer Sensations' workshop weeks in August. There are plenty of big name summer schools that will aim to boost your technique; and so my weeks are performance weeks... a little treat which will boost your STAGE PRESENCE and your CONFIDENCE and remind you, if you need, that ballet is GREAT FUN!! (well yes ok I will boost your technique too, I can't help it!) We have so much fun and you will be entertained and amazed at how much we can create in 5 days when you watch the performance/s at the end of the week/s. These workshops are suitable for vocational and non-vocational dancers; I do have children from vocational schools joining me (White Lodge, YDA, Italia Conti, Tring, Royal Ballet MAs etc) but I also am pleased to meet non-vocational children who are dancing purely for fun... a wonderful time is had by all. I am pretty sure there are some parents and dancers on this forum who can validate this for me Please do email for further information and/or to book. There is a £50 discount for anyone booking before May 1st 2018 BACK TO TRAINING IN AUGUST I also have a back to training week in August. This runs for 5 half days and consists of YOGA for dancers, a Ballet class (with me!) plus a gentle stretch. Venue to be confirmed. Happy Dancing one and all and do get in touch Sarah

Summer School. Highbury. Hello dancers and parents of dancers. When it comes to holiday courses I am of course small fry compared to the 'BIG' schools!! But I am a former BRB dancer, teacher trained by RBS (PDTC) and have over 30 years of teaching and performing experience. I love love love my performance workshop weeks and any chance to perform is invaluable for young dancers! And so if you didn't get offered your dream summer school and are in need of inspiration for this summer then I am here and (I hope!) anyone who has experienced my workshops will tell you you won't regret it We work hard and have fun and parents get to see a wonderful performance at the end of each week. If you would like information about my course do get in touch. All best wishes Sarah x

Hello dancers, parents, dance lovers and all! The end of term is in sight (or already with some) and this has been a busy and lovely one for a me with just a few days to go! I finally have 5 mins to visit ballet co forum again and I hope I am writing this in the correct place and correct format, please let me know if I have done this wrong....? Here is a little information for my summer programs. Summer 2017 I have 2 weeks of summer dance courses. 17th - 21st July and 24th - 28th July. Dancers can take one or both weeks. Minimum age 8 maximum age 18 I can promise you a professional and fun week with a wonderful performance at the end of the week. I love to see these hard working students perform which is after all what they are training for!! The courses are appropriate for vocational students and dedicated dancers in part time training. End of Summer 2017 I have back to ballet week 28th August - 1st September This is a half day course so that the students still have tine to enjoy the end of their summer holidays! Tis course is appropriate only for vocational dance students and the minimum age is 14. Easter! I have an Easter dance week next week 3rd - 7th April and there are a few places left for anyone in need of some last minute inspiration!! This course is in Highbury, London. Please feel free to contact me with questions! I will get back but please be patient; and my apologies in advance if I keep you waiting. Enjoy the sunshine!! Very best wishes, Sarah

Back home after much teaching and felling very satisfied! what a priveledge it is to teach (even on a challenging day!!) Thank you everyone for all your help!! So I will start a new thread with my course details Sarah, after I have read the policy Janet! And thank you Sheila, I will email you Good night dancers, teachers and ballet lovers one and all! xxx

Thank you so much for your lovely welcome messages! See how slow I am!! This term is a busy one, lots of audition coaching and all going well so far but I feel for these young dancers (and their parents!) it is a stressful time. I could post some information for my Easter and Summer courses but not sure where to put this, can someone let me know? Just FYI my courses are usually performance related. There are so many intensive vocational courses throughout the year by the major schools and... 1) it is hard for a small school (i.e. me!) to compete with these. 2) Our children are training to be performers! Performance opportunities are wonderful for building real confidence and character! They are just as valuable as any time spent in a studio honing your technique!! Any way I could go on but I am off to teach! Happy dancing days one and all.
