About Me

Sandy was born and raised in Apex, North Carolina and began Scottish Highland dancing at the age of 5. Traveling throughout the United States, Canada and Scotland, Sandy has won numerous championships and choreographed and performed in three professional productions of Scottish music and dance. During her intense dance training growing up, she never thought much about overuse injuries or proper body mechanics. It wasn’t until 10-15 years later of still dancing with the same intensity and drive that led to numerous bouts of shin splints, achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. Wanting to continue as a competitive dancer, Sandy turned her focus to training smarter and learned the importance of recovery and rest, while improving her overall fitness level through targeted strength training, body mechanics and alignment. She has taken her knowledge as an experienced dancer and personal trainer to develop different methods of cross-training for dancers, known as Fit for Reel. Sandy also became certified as a Scottish Highland dance teacher through the British Association of Teachers of Dance and has taught dancers of all ages and abilities for the last twenty years. Her enthusiasm for dance is boundless, as she enjoys seeing dancers reach their greatest potential.

Client Testimonials

The Turnout for Reel program is great! Even doing the exercises the very first day, I could tell it would help loosen and strengthen my hip joints. It was so helpful to have very specific exercises to do each day, and there was a good mix of both variety and repetition, so I felt like I knew what I was doing but also didn’t have to do exactly the same routine all the time. Of course there’s no one “magic cure” for getting perfect turnout, but Sandy has made it very straightforward for dancers to see a significant difference if they put in the work to complete the program! - Kathleen H.

I would definitely recommend this program to dancers that also struggle with turnout. It seemed to improve my turnout a lot over the course of just two weeks. My teacher has also noticed improvements in my turnout when I am practicing with her. - Ivy R.

Turnout in all aspects has always been my main challenge in highland dance. This program has helped me build strength in my muscles and improve the flexibility of my hips to dance with better turnout and flow. I will continue to use this program because it creates great results and can easily fit into a competitive dancer’s routine. - Allyson P.

This helpful turnout program is worth putting in the effort to do each day and following it exactly. You’ll find your hips and muscles get stronger which in turn helps you to get the better turnout your teacher has been eager for you to have. It’s not all about pushing the knee or the leg out. Start from scratch and learn how to control these muscles. Thanks Sandy for helping me learn how to use my muscles! -Laura B.
