Sally started her dance journey, as a pupil of her Aunt, Miss Edith Duncan MBE, in Aberdeen, where she studied all theatre genres, including Acrobatic dance, and Highland.
She performed in many shows locally, and competed in dance festivals, also Highland Games and championships.
Sally started teaching for her Aunt at a very young age, but after a few years, left to pursue her ambition of becoming a professional dancer, and joined the Andy Stewart show.
She met her husband to be, John Dennis, whilst performing in a show in Blackpool, eventually teaming up with him to present their Magic and Illusion act, throughout the UK, Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Sally also presented her own act of acrobatic dance, and contortion.
On returning to the UK, John and Sally established Saldance Theatre Arts in Peterborough.
In 1991, Sally was appointed a theatre examiner with the IDTA, eventually upgrading to senior examiner status.
She continues to examine, adjudicate and lecture to this day.
Saldance Theatre Arts continues to thrive, under the guidance of the fully qualified and dedicated teachers, all of whom were trained by Miss Sally from the age of three.
She is proud to say, that two of the teachers are now also appointed examiners with the IDTA.
Sally is delighted to be part of the Scottish area committee, all of whom are dedicated to achieving one goal, which is to promote and encourage IDTA theatre in Scotland.
