Dedicated to Our Students

Our founder, Susan Nachtrab, has over 40 years of teaching experience and is dedicated to helping each and every one of her students reach their full potential. She is a participating member of various dance organizations, including The Professional Dance Teachers Association, The National Association of Dance and Affiliated Arts, The Brookhaven Arts and Humanities Council, and The Greater Port Jefferson Arts Council.

Under Susan's guidance, Dance Sensation students have received numerous awards and accolades at regional and national competitions. They have also had the opportunity to perform in productions of "The Nutcracker, " "Sleeping Beauty, " and "Peter and the Wolf, " as well as other local theatrical productions.

Preparing Students for the Future

In addition to fostering a love of dance, Dance Sensation also prepares students for their future endeavors. Our students have received scholarships to prestigious ballet summer intensives, such as The Earl Mosley's Institute of the Arts, Brigham Young University Summer Dance Program, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, and many others. They have also been accepted to top-tier dance and theatre programs at colleges such as Hartford University, University of the Arts, Indiana University, and more.

Our students have also gone on to pursue professional careers in the arts, receiving apprenticeships and trainee positions in their chosen fields. Many of our students credit Susan's overwhelming encouragement, enthusiasm, love, and unforgettable friendship as a driving force in their success.

Founding the Elite Corps de Ballet of Long Island

In 2008, Susan founded the Elite Corps de Ballet of Long Island, a non-profit ballet organization that offers students across Long Island the opportunity to perform in an annual production of "The Nutcracker." Susan produces and directs the performance, which serves as a grand showcase of the efforts of the Dance Sensation students, parents, and staff.
