Our Story | Selah Movement School of Dance

The story of Selah

~ Director, teacher and founder Sophie Muller ~

Known for her innovative choreography and dedication to her students’ growth. With over two decades of dance experience, including examinations and training in The Cecchetti Method, Vaganova and Sunshine Christian Dance Syllabus, she has trained dancers of all ages and skill levels, blending classical techniques with contemporary styles to create dynamic performances. Muller’s passion for dance shines through in her teaching, inspiring her students to explore their creativity and express themselves through movement. Striving to cultivate a supportive and nurturing environment where dancers can flourish both artistically and personally while giving all glory to God, our creator.

"When we move from a place of love, we create a language beyond words—one that speaks to the soul. Dance allows us to express what may be too hard for words, shaping an atmosphere where each movement can be interpreted in a unique and powerful way. It brings breakthrough, freedom, and life—not just to the dancer, but to all who watch."

At Selah Movement School of Dance we are dedicated to creating a nurturing and healthy dance school that involves fostering a supportive environment where students feel valued and encouraged to explore their passion for dance while prioritizing their physical and emotional well-being. We believe this can be achieved through:

Qualified and caring teachers who prioritise positive reinforcement and individualised attention.
A strong focus on technique and safe dance practices to prevent injuries and support long-term development.
Opportunities for examinations and further training to help students refine their skills and pursue their dance dreams.
Open communication between teachers, students, and parents to address any concerns or questions.
Encouraging creative expression to build confidence and artistry.
Fostering a sense of community and teamwork within and beyond the studio.
Incorporating mindfulness and self-care to promote mental and emotional well-being.
Inclusive policies and practices that welcome students of all backgrounds and abilities.
Celebrating progress and achievements, big and small, to create a positive and motivating atmosphere.

We believe dance is a gift, and we invite you to explore your potential in a supportive, faith-filled environment where you can move with purpose and passion.
