Sarah Heath
Bob Fosse technique / Jazz with hats

Her passion and love for the world of Fosse grew into creating her own work, now recognised worldwide. The fusion of classical ballet and jazz, influenced by Bob Fosse's style, is the driving force behind her creations.
Leaning into the embodiment of jazz music, subtle gestures, alignment and technique, character and stylistic choices all fuse into her distinctive style.
