Sarah Wilkerson began her formal ballet training at the age of twelve under the direction of Stefani Schrimpf and Juan Pablo Trujillo at the Kansas School of Classical Ballet in Overland, Kansas. 

She went on to join BalletMet's trainee program in Columbus, Ohio at the age of seventeen and after a year, joined Oregon Ballet Theatre's Second Company in Portland, Oregon. This will be Wilkerson’s third season with Ballet Tucson. She has had the joy of dancing in many Ballet Tucson productions such as George Balanchine's Valse Fantasy, Ben Stevenson's Cinderella, Septime’s Alice, and more. Some of her favorite moments have been dancing the role of the Russian Dance Demi Soloist in George Balanchine's Serenade, Big Swan in Swan Lake, as well the pas de deux from Kiyon Ross' No Holds Barre'd. Wilkerson is also a current member of The School of Ballet Tucson’s faculty.
