She then studied dance and theater while attending The University of Texas at Austin. After graduating, she continued her dance studies as a scholarship student at Broadway Dance Center (in NYC) where she had the pleasure to study and take classes from such dance masters as Frank Hatchett, Mia Michaels, Josh Bergasse, Germaine Salsberg, Andy Blankenbuehler and David Marquez.

Sally has performed on stages across the country including Disneyland, regional productions in Saint Louis, and Austin’s own Zilker Hillside and Paramount Theaters. She has danced and worked with various companies including American Dance Troupe, The Young Americans, Naughty Austin, and Third Coast Jazz, not to mention performed in numerous musical theater productions. Some of her favorites include West Side Story, Guys and Dolls, Once Upon a Mattress, Oklahoma, The Wizard of Oz, The Good Times Are Killing Me, and various Broadway Revues.
