Sarah Teagle, founder and CEO of The Steppers Club, has been an instructor in the art of Chicago-style Steppin’ since 2003. Recently, Sarah received an Inside Steppin Magazine Award for her nationwide advancement of promoting the art form of Chicago-style Steppin.  She has also received the Herb Kent Award for Accomplishments and the Sam Chatman Award for Special Achievement, both presented by Atlanta Chicago – Atlanta Milwaukee Steppers/Boppers Ent.

Affectionately known as “Sensei” and the 'Task Master,' she attributes her steppin’ skills to  Master Stepper LC Henderson, CEO of The Steppers Workshop.  LC   (aka "The Technician')  taught  Sarah  the art form of Chicago-style Steppin through the 8-count ideology he refined. Sarah also believes that attending, observing and participating in Sets, taking private lessons, and workshops with various master and premier steppers has helped her  to develop style and grace and has ultimately contributed to her genius and personal flair.

During Sarah’s tenure, she is recognized as one of the top female instructors in the country assisting and coaching several contest-winning students as well as winning two contests herself placing 2^nd in The Desert Steppers Competition (April 07) and 1st in a Trios Contest (Class Act Steppers, July 07). As a female instructor, she can take lead in the dance.  This enhances her ability to teach the dance to her male students.  Sarah has taught workshops for Fortune 500 companies BellSouth, Accenture, and Lucent Technology; as well as higher education institutions including Paine College, Georgia State University, and Morehouse College. She has been invited to be a guest instructor in Jamaica, WI, Augusta, Charlotte, Columbus (OH), Nashville, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Macon, Memphis, Miami, Milwaukee, Minnesota/St. Paul, Tampa, and Winston-Salem.

In addition to maintaining one of the largest Steppin classes in Atlanta, Sarah hosts a monthly 3rd Sunday Steppers Set and organizes an annual Black & White Steppers Ball, Labor Day weekend, in Atlanta and Macon.

The Steppers Club has been featured in numerous articles published by the Atlanta Journal and Constitution, Rolling Out Magazine and Inside Steppin. Sarah has been interviewed on some of Atlanta's top radio stations, V-103, KISS 104.1 and Classic Soul 102.5.  A philanthropist and humanitarian, The Steppers Club has donated a portion of the proceeds from the Steppers Ball to Hughes Spalding Children’s Hospital, and victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
