Sarah Melville
Sarah was born and raised in England and has evolved with many dance styles over the years. She started learning Bellydance over two decades ago and was hooked. This grew into teaching and performing in and around the World, then with her love of worldwide travel she spent many visits to the Dominican Republic where she studied, learned and fell in love with the dance Bachata. In 2011 she transferred to the US with her employment but after a few years decided to give up her job, throw caution to the wind and follow her passion for dance. 
Simply Dance was formed, and Sarah began sharing her knowledge and love of dance in and around Grants Pass, Oregon. Her classes have grown with teaching dance at Candela, Inspire Dance Studio and Club Northwest and various workshops and performances. She regularly attends dance festivals and workshops around the world which has bought her the dance experience and knowledge in Bellydance, Salsa, Cha Cha including Ballroom, and is deeply connected to her love of Bachata and also Kizomba, which originates from Angola.
Sarah's control of body and mastery of detail in movement is inspiring, she exudes love for dance throughout. She considers it an honor to be an integral part of the community and student’s lives where she has the pleasure to mentor, build friendships and encourage and teach through her passion. Nothing to prove, just a simple communication of passion through dance, after all dance keeps the dust of everyday living away from our feet!
