The School

THE LIVE WIRE SCHOOL OF DANCE (West Sussex)

BRINGING the JOY of DANCE to MID-SUSSEX for 30 YEARS

Principal Teacher: Sarah Fenn-Tye

After retiring from life as a top international Professional Ballroom & Latin American competitor and judge, Sarah Fenn-Tye founded The Live Wire School of Dance in 1996.

What began as a passion for sharing dance has grown into a warm, welcoming community — a family-run dance school where people of all ages and abilities can learn, improve and most importantly… enjoy dancing.

Today, Live Wire offers friendly, professional specialist training in a relaxed and social atmosphere where every pupil is encouraged at their own pace.

EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST

Sarah brings exceptional experience and knowledge to her teaching.

She has achieved numerous personal successes including becoming a UCWDC Superstar Line Dance competitor and winning multiple World Pro Pro American Country Couples & Showcase Dancing Championships with her American partner.  Until recently, Sarah’s niece, Elizabeth taught alongside Sarah.  Elizabeth’s dynamic choreography and natural flare for teaching, helped make the dance school the success it is today.

A THANK YOU FROM US

Over the past 30 years, we have had the privilege of teaching hundreds of wonderful pupils — children discovering dance for the first time, teenagers growing in confidence, and adults finding fitness, friendship and a lifelong hobby.

Whether you joined us for Disco & Commercial Street/Jazz shows, Modern Line Dancing, Dancercise Fitness or our much-loved Social Ballroom & Latin classes — you have all been part of the Live Wire story.

Thank you for being part of our dance family.

At Live Wire, every dancer matters. We combine high-quality professional training with kindness, encouragement and understanding.
