Sarah is the owner and director of Xtend Barre South Yarra. After attending her first Xtend Barre class in Melbourne at the start of 2018 she was instantly a devotee, and the trajectory to becoming studio owner was a quick and natural one for her. Sarah studied classical ballet at the Royal Ballet School in London and when she discovered Xtend Barre, she was able to realise her dream of combining her passion for dance and marketing into what is Xtend Barre South Yarra.

Sarah’s vision is to create a caring, healthy, inclusive and dynamic environment for her guests where they can work together to reach their goals

Since graduating with a Certificate 4 in Dance through the Performing Arts course at Patrick Studios Australia in 2014, Sarah has gone on to perform all over the world. She has toured Nationally and Internationally with Stone Productions, Entertainment Store and most recently, Norwegian Cruise lines. Sarah completed 5 contracts with NCL as a Production Cast Dancer, and Primary Aerialist and Dance Captain. It’s here that Sarah discovered her passion for Aerial Arts and since then she has trained not only at NICA in Melbourne but also in Portugal with Circus Loft.

Throughout Sarah’s years of performing she came to understand the importance of Pilates and how it has helped her to maintain her strength and agility whilst performing and dancing full time. Her passion for dance and fitness lead her to Xtend Barre, she is driven by being able to help others find their own passion for self love, health and well-being.

Originally from rural Victoria, Julia made the move to Melbourne to pursue an Advanced Diploma of Dance. Upon its completion she returned her focus to an earlier love of art, completing a Diploma of Visual Art and most recently a Bachelor of Art (Fine Art). Currently she maintains an art practice alongside her regular classes with Xtend Barre.

She of course enjoys the elements of dance and the (always!) challenging workout, but most importantly loves to be a part of and contribute to the strong sense of community the studio prides itself on, all the while helping individual clients work towards and achieve their individual goals.

Originally from country NSW, Sara moved to Melbourne to pursue her love of dance performance and teaching. She currently works teaching a range of dance styles from ballet and tap, to cheerleading, at schools and studios all over Melbourne, in her spare time performing as a children’s entertainer.

For Sara, Xtend Barre was love at first sight, the perfect challenging workout with an essence of dance. With her enthusiastic and energetic vibe she wishes to bring the health and fitness benefits of this fusion to her clients.
