Our Team
Sandra Knibbs
DCA Creator | Teacher (AIDTA, APTD) | Choreographer
Over 20 years ago, I started teaching a handful of eager children, and Dance Craze Academy blossomed from there! Performing arts and working with children is the lifestyle I always dreamed of. My mission is to help students build confidence, grow as dancers, and explore the countless benefits of performing arts.
I am a qualified teacher with the International Dance Teachers’ Association and The Professional Teachers of Dancing, as well as a trained nursery nurse. My background includes RAD and ISTD methods, winning scholarships for training, and spending a semester teaching and furthering my studies in South Africa.
Every year, I update my dance qualifications through private tuition with IDTA Examiners and industry professionals, ensuring I bring the very best to our students at DCA.
Susie Lerch
Dance Teacher | Choreographer
I’ve been passionate about dance ever since I was a child. By my teens, I spent every afternoon and weekend in the dance studio, immersing myself in various disciplines.
I lived in England for several years and have taught in international environments, including three years at the French School of Budapest, where I choreographed shows and taught street jazz and ballroom classes. I’m also a qualified Pilates teacher.
Since joining DCA in 2014, I’ve enjoyed teaching various classes, hosting birthday parties, and contributing to our summer camps. It’s a joy to be part of such a creative and supportive team!
Skylar Herter
Dance Teacher | Singing-Songwriting Instructor
My artistic journey began at Dance Craze Academy, where I discovered my love for singing and dancing. Growing up surrounded by performing arts, I developed a deep passion for creativity and self-expression, leading me to pursue a career as a pop singer-songwriter.
Through self-teaching and perseverance, I honed my skills in music production and performance, competing in national songwriting contests and expanding my knowledge in the field. My experiences taught me resilience, creativity, and the value of lifelong learning.
As a teacher, I’m committed to helping children find their unique voices through singing and songwriting. My goal is to nurture confidence, patience, and emotional growth in a supportive environment.
