Sarita Pauline Mehta

Sarita began her early ballet training at Rochester School of Dance. At the age of twelve, she was selected to dance with The American Ballet Theatre in their production of Le Corsaire.  At age 13, Sarita was accepted into the Michigan Ballet Theatre under the direction of Cornelia Sampson and danced in the Company until her junior high school year.
 
As her relationship with the Lord began to grow and mature, she felt a strong calling to dance for the glory of the Lord. Still a part of Michigan Ballet Theatre, Sarita became one of the first members of Grace Dance Ensemble, a local Christian dance company, under the direction of DeAnne Essian. She is now the assistant director of Grace Dance Ensemble and has choreographed numerous pieces for the company. Sarita has a huge passion for teaching young girls to dance for God’s glory. She believes it undoubtedly has the ability to change lives by its beauty and power. Sarita is a student at Oakland University pursuing a graduate degree in Elementary Education.
 
We are very excited that Sarita will be joining us this fall teaching our worship classes at The Link.
