Principal and Designated Safeguarding Lead

Sammy began dancing with Westbury Park Dance Centre aged 5, attending classes most evenings in graded and vocational ballet, modern, jazz and festival work. Having been given the opportunity to join the WPDC faculty as a teaching assistant in 2014, Sammy realised she had no plans to leave the school any time soon.

Alongside her degree in Virology and Immunology (Bristol), Sammy began teaching at the school and supported by Principals Pamela and Pauline and Stephanie Germanis, achieved Registered Teacher Status with the Royal Academy of Dance through the Certificate in Ballet Teaching Studies. She is a full member of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing and registered with People Dancing UK.

Sammy is passionate about dance pedagogy and teacher development and is excited to guide upcoming teachers in the early stages of their careers.

Upon becoming Principal of Westbury Park Dance Centre in Summer 2024 Sammy is dedicated to continue the work of Bettie, Pamela and Pauline to provide outstanding dance teaching and promote a lifelong love of movement.

Drawing on her nearly 40 years of experience in financial administration and 20 years as a Westbury Park Dance Centre dance mum, Sue takes on may roles behind the scenes (and picks up even more ad hoc jobs along the way).

Sue looks forward to supporting Sammy in achieving her vision for the school and Sammy is determined we will see Sue make her on stage dancing debut in the near future.
