Sara Falstad, originally from Atlanta, Georgia, began her dance training with the Atlanta Ballet Centre for Dance Education, where she studied for 10 years before relocating to New Orleans in 2009. In New Orleans, Sara furthered her training at the Schramel Conservatory of Dance under the direction of Greg and Marjorie Hardwick Schramel before accepting a traineeship with the Charlotte Ballet Academy in 2012, and then a traineeship with the Joffrey Academy of Dance in 2013. During this time, she enjoyed returning to New Orleans to dance in New Orleans Ballet Theatre’s Nutcracker and Summer Solstice. In 2015, Sara’s pursuits took her to the Sarasota Ballet, where she performed in ballets by Sir Kenneth MacMillan, Matthew Hart, George Balanchine, Dame Ninette de Valois, Anthony Tudor, and Sir Frederick Ashton. After a year and a half with the company, she took the opportunity to dance internationally at Tokyo Disneyland in its flagship live show One Man’s Dream II: The Magic Lives On, a Disney medley featuring many of Disney’s iconic characters, where she met Lily. She remained in Japan for three years, dancing in both title and ensemble roles until the show’s closing in December 2019. Upon her return to New Orleans, Sara rejoined New Orleans Ballet Theatre as a company artist, and she is thrilled to have this opportunity to share her love and appreciation for dance.
