Having studied and obtained degrees in both Dance and Education, Suzanne has nurtured young dancers in the basement of the “old Belk building in downtown Sanford since 1995. As owner and instructor of the Sanford School of Classical Ballet, she has shepherded the school through many achievements which will soon include the 30th anniversary of the Spring Student Performance at the Mann Center of NC and the 25th anniversary of the school’s inaugural performance of The Nutcracker. With both of Suzanne’s daughters as alumnae and her eldest grandson now in her pre-ballet class, the Sanford School of Classical Ballet is a true family legacy worth experiencing.
