Meet the Teachers of C uS Dance!
Sarah Kirkness Director
Sarah Kirkness has studied dance in many forms since the age of 3 and has developed an enthusiastic, musical and detailed approach to teaching. Sarah began her training in her home town of St. Catharines at The Miriam McPherson School of Ballet (now Ballet Etc…) as a child and has continued to increase her knowledge of performing art at the Canadian Children's Dance Theatre, Ryerson University (Professional Dance Program), and the Teacher Training Program at Canada's National Ballet School, among others. Earning numerous awards and accolades from the international competitive dance circuit, she is now a teacher and mentor to students at schools in St. Catharines and Toronto.
Sarah is an Associate to the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing and a member of the Cecchetti Society of Canada. She has a passion to share the gifts of dance and music with children as each new encounter in her dancing inspires her to teach and share with her students as much as she can about how the body moves and expresses.
Courtney Flus Director
Courtney Flus has studied the art of dance for the past 17 years and has been a dance teacher, and competitive choreographer for the past 3 years. Courtney has taken Cecchetti ballet exams since the age of 8, and has competed provincially in ballet, jazz, lyrical, and pointe. Courtney now strives to inspire other children to dance and encourages their exploration of different dance styles as well as body-awareness. She is a Concurrent Education student at Brock University. Using her training in early childhood education, Courtney advocates the use of dance as a medium of personal growth and exercise in children. Courtney is excited for the opportunity to work with your dancers and looks forward to a great summer!
