Sarah Blatt

Sarah grew up in Reading, PA, with her parents and younger brother. Throughout elementary and middle school, she was a competitive swimmer. However, when she was 12 years old, she saw a Riverdance performance and quickly became fascinated with dance. Therefore, she started taking a few classes at a local dance studio. At age 14, Sarah began more intensive training under renowned professionals such as Ciara Sexton (Riverdance and Broadway) and Lindsay Arnold (Dancing with the Stars). At that time, Sarah was selected to dance in a New York City Broadway showcase inspired by Disney’s Moana. She also performed in Times Square alongside Sharna Burgess (Dancing with the Stars). At 15 years old, Sarah officially began pre-professional training at Berks Ballet Theatre, where she trained under Sterling Baca (Philadelphia Ballet) and Nayara Lopes (Philadelphia Ballet). Sarah became a soloist with the company and performed in various classical ballets. Sarah also participated in breaking a Guinness World Record for ‘Most Ballet Dancers Simultaneously En Pointe’ on the Live with Kelly and Ryan talk show. Her dance journey took a meaningful turn when she was 17 years old and saw a Cavod show. Sarah was inspired by the way the dancers used their gifts to honor and worship God, so she joined Cavod. She was a member of Citylight, Cavod’s dance ministry outreach team,and served as a teacher’s assistant. After graduating from high school, Sarah continued to dance and choreograph at Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania and Franklin & Marshall College, where she studied under Dr. Jennifer Conley (Martha Graham Dance Company). Over the past several years, she has enjoyed being a substitute teacher at Cavod.

Outside of dance, Sarah works in brain and spinal cord cancer research and is continuing her education in radiation oncology medicine. Sarah loves spending time with her family and friends, traveling, hiking, swimming, and skydiving.

Sarah is honored to be a part of the Cavod family. She is passionate about helping each student grow not only in their dancing, but also in their confidence, character, and faith. She looks forward to challenging and encouraging her students as they pursue excellence and use their gifts to glorify God.
