When she was 10, she gained a place at the prestigious Elmhurst Ballet School, in Camberley, Surrey (now in Birmingham, England and associated with The Birmingham Royal Ballet ) and progressed as a student to train at the Royal Ballet School in London. Sue has had many exciting roles in the world of dance. From establishing her own dance studio and dancewear shop, which continue to run today, to working as the Head of Dance at Queen Margaret's Independent Boarding School in York. During this time she also taught for The Royal Ballet School's Associate Program. Everywhere she has gone her love of dance has been infectious, empowering hundreds of new dancers, many of whom have gone into the profession. She has performed in and choreographed many musicals and ballets and staged countless amateur and professional dance productions including pieces set to music composed especially for her. She has run and taught many prestigious Summer Schools including Yorkshire Youth Dance Theatre also for schools in Spain, Isle of Mann and Sarasota Ballet. She is proud to be a Life Member of The Royal Academy of Dance. Between 2004 and 2010 she lived and worked in North Carolina USA actively and passionately sharing her expertise as the Executive Director of Carolina Performing Arts Centre.
