Dynamix specialise in a variety of dance styles; jazz, jazz technique, street, commercial, hip-hop styles, contemporary and  acro. Our aim is to give the children a professional standard of training at the same time as promoting self-confidence. We aim to train the children in the most positive way possible, this is something really important to Amy. Having a dance school that work together, cheer each other on and celebrate one and others success is something we pride ourselves on.

We run classes in Thrapston & Wellingborough as well as teaching dance in a variety of school in Northamptonshire.

We give our dancers many performance opportunities as well as local performances and our annual shows, so far we have performed at Wembley Stadium and next year we will be performing at Disneyland Paris! (We were meant to do this year but due to COVID our trip was postponed) Amy wants the children to have as many unforgettable opportunities as possible!

Over the school holidays we always have workshops going on, some with our talented in-house staff, some guest teachers from London. So far we had a Lion King Workshop & Thriller. These are professionals from the West End shows that we get down to teach for the day, again to give the children some amazing memories.

In February a few of our students took part in an agency audition, which I am delighted to say they got on to, I can’t wait to see what they get up to!

Meet The Teachers

With a rich foundation in dance, I trained for three years on a full scholarship at Bodywork Company Dance Studios in Cambridge, where I honed my skills in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Commercial, Contemporary and Hip-Hop. After signing with the leading commercial agency Mass Movement, I had the privilege of performing on the nightly show for ITV multiple times, which significantly enriched my professional experience in the industry.

In 2017, I established Dynamix Dance Company with a clear vision as I had decided performing professionally isn’t where my heart lead. I wanted to provide students with professional dance training in a nurturing and supportive environment. Having faced challenges during my own professional training, I understood the importance of fostering a space where dancers could develop both confidence and discipline while mastering their craft.

Since its inception, Dynamix has flourished, and I am immensely proud of our achievements, including our dedicated studio and classes in Thrapston and Wellingborough, as well as dance clubs in local schools. Our students have successfully auditioned for esteemed institutions such as Bodywork, Stella Mann, Dance Box Studios, Perform Like A Pro, Phoenix Boys. Notably, one of our talented students, Ronnie, showcased his skills on Britain’s Got Talent with the Phoenix Boys, following his discovery at one of our competitions.

Together with my exceptional team at Dynamix, we are committed to nurturing the next generation of dancers, imbued with the same ethos and passion that drives our mission.

With over 25 years’ experience teaching all genres of dance in both studio and college settings, Sarah brings with her a wealth of knowledge and insight.   She teaches both RAD and ISTD syllabus as well as developing her own training programmes in ballet, jazz and tap which brings together the best of English and American training systems.

As a multi-disciplinary teacher, Sarah encourages students to find the connection between all their disciplines and to carry the thread through from one class to the next.   She is able to help dancers recognise the strengths they have across their genres and use those tools in new and innovative ways to adapt and grow with fresh challenges.

With a strong focus on technique and creative ways of developing style and performance, she aims to provide a safe, supportive environment where students feel free to experiment, without focusing on failure or success.   Sarah believes that the studio should be a collaborative space where pupils learn from a young age to set their own goals, monitor their progress, and validate themselves so building resilience whatever their future path may be.

As a member of Danscend, Sarah is committed to supporting dancer mental wellbeing and is highly experienced in working with neurodiverse dancers, readily adapting her teaching style and the environment to meet the needs of individuals within the class.   She is a strong advocate for dancers, speaking up for change in the dance world so that it is a more welcoming and respectful place for everyone.

She is an alumnus of the Roots, Rhythm, Race and Dance programme which aims to bring Black dance history into the studio to help students build connections to the cultural origins of the jazz genres and to improve inclusivity and equity in the dance world.

As a member of International Association for Dance Medicine & Science, Sarah is able to use this resource to enhance her ability to guide children through their various stages of growth and overcome any physical difficulties or limitations they may have.   She is a certified instructor of Progressing Ballet Technique and has recently set up an injury prevention programme for vocational students aged 11 plus.  

Sarah also works as a private coach and mentor offering bespoke training to dancers of all ages and experience, and often visits schools as a guest teacher and consultant.   For many years one of her favourite roles has been to mentor and support young teachers as they are starting out on their careers.

She is very lucky to have taught alongside some highly renowned teachers and examiners gaining much from their knowledge and expertise, and continues to push herself with courses and classes in new genres and styles, most recently studying with the world class teachers and choreographers of Broadway Dance Center in New York.

Under her coaching and mentorship, students have had great success at local and national competitions including UK Young Dancer, All England and the Janet Cram Awards.
