Sallie McCown began her dance training at the age of 5 at Elizabeth King's Dance Studio in Fort Worth and continued her training with Ed Holoman and Larry Howard through high school and college. She began her teaching career for the Fort Worth Parks and Recreation Dept. in 1975, teaching dance classes at R.D. Evans, Southwest, and Northside Recreation Centers. Sallie opened Sallie's School of Dance in 1978. Over the past 37 years, students from Sallie's School of Dance have received college scholarships for dance excellence, numerous competitions (regional and national), performed on cruise ships and Disneyworld, and many have become dance instructors/professional performers. Sallie currently has former students teaching and performing throughout the U.S. and as far away as London, England. Of the thousands of students who have trained with Miss Sallie, all have achieved poise, grace, self-confidence, and the discipline to achieve their dreams.
