Sarah Pramstaller began her career in New York City where she spent 10+ years performing. She originated the role of “Lizzie Borden” in the concert version of Lizzie, The Musical, and has traveled the country with two different Broadway National Tours: Saturday Night Fever (“Annette”) and The Who’s Tommy (“Sally Simpson” u/s). Her regional credits include Grease (“Rizzo”), West Side Story (“Anita”), Oklahoma! (“Ado Annie”), and Little Shop of Horrors (“Audrey”) to name a few. When not working on a show, Sarah dabbled in commercial VoiceOver work and fronted an 80’s cover band during her time in NYC.
Sarah is a proud graduate of James Madison University and holds a degree in Music Education. She transitioned from performing to vocal instruction and music direction when she discovered The Paul Green School of Rock in Manhattan. It was there that she fell in love with teaching; creating and leading the first vocal music program at the original flagship school. She directed multiple concert productions at The School of Rock, one of which gave the final performance at the legendary rock club, CBGB’s, and another that was selected to be the opening act for Jon Anderson of “YES” at B.B. King’s Blues Club in Midtown Manhattan.
Since her return to NoVa, Sarah has continued to teach voice privately and has worked with dozens of teens and young adults that have gone on to reach professional status in the recording industry and on Broadway. She is currently the Director of Musical Productions at Flint Hill School in Oakton where she directs the choirs, musicals, and a cappella group. Her Flint Hill students have won vocal competitions, been accepted to collegiate musical theatre programs, and done many other amazing things, both onstage and off. Watching her students succeed has been the most joyful and gratifying part of Sarah’s professional journey thus far.
Nancy Huddleston is an accomplished singer and pianist with several years of experience directing choirs. She holds a Master of Music Education from Catholic University.

Nancy’s show credits include Oliver, Anything Goes, Patience, Ruddigore, Pippin, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and Company. Nancy has been a member of the Paul Hill Chorale, Washington Choral Arts Society, the Congressional Chorus, Denver Symphony Chorus, and several smaller groups in the DC area. Nancy loves the energy of the Not Just Dance family and looks forward to bringing out the best in all of her students.
It’s time to carry the banner on the Not Just Dance stage with Disney’s Newsies JR! Set in turn-of-the century New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged “newsies.” When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ and newsgirls’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what’s right!
Based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by a true story, Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act) and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots). Featuring the now classic songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family and every audience.

After graduating, Moira attended James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. She earned a Bachelors of Arts in Dance and PreK-12 Dance Teacher Licensure for the State of Virginia.
