After watching “Cats” on VHS at the tender age of 5, Sarah Baugstø was inspired. In her hometown of Stavanger, Norway, where you either play football or you’re a loser, she started taking dance classes. Her aspiration to play the role of the white cat was soon upstaged by her passion for hip hop and commercial dancing, and she completed a foundation year at Spin Off, Oslo.
At NSCD she’s had the pleasure of working with Phil Sanger, Patricia Okenwa, Joseph Mercier and Fernanda Prata. Some of her own creations include flashing her tutors and peers, a piece about eggs, and making every entry on stage as stage manager a performance.
Sarah will now opt for playing a swing or ensemble “cat”. But first, she’ll be continuing her training at London Contemporary Dance School as a member of EDGE Dance Company. Let’s get edgy!
