About Sarah Robinson

Sarah Robinson has been a part of the Kentucky Ballet Theatre family since its inception in 1998. Sarah grew up dancing in the Kentucky Ballet Theatre Academy and was proud to perform in many KBT professional productions, as well as Ballet Under the Stars. Sarah graduated with her Bachelor’s Degree in Communications and Political Science from the University of Kentucky and received her Juris Doctorate Degree from Chase Law School at Northern Kentucky University. She attributes much of her success in her educational and professional career to the discipline and performance attitude that she learned under the leadership of Kentucky Ballet Theatre’s world-class instructors. After spending 10 years as the Senior Marketing Director for Fayette Mall, Sarah is excited to bring her knowledge of marketing, social media, sponsorship, and business development to support Kentucky Ballet Theatre.
