Early life

Sarah Hay was brought up in

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School of Ballet at the American Ballet Theatre.[4] She later explained that while she was popular at normal school, at the ballet school she was considered to be a "loser" because she wasn't from a wealthy background.[5]
She described herself as a "troublemaker" during her childhood, and only decided to pursue ballet professionally when she was a teenager.

Career

Ballet

Once she decided to become a professional ballet dancer, she sacrificed other pursuits, saying in a 2015 interview with the New York Post that she "had a few relationships fall apart because of it."[citation needed] While others have described her as "workaholic," she prefers "motivated."[citation needed] At the age of 22, she moved to Germany to join the Dresden based Semperoper ballet.[6]

Acting

Hay made her acting debut in 1997 when she was cast as Stephanie in You're Invited to Mary-Kate and Ashley's Ballet Party, starring Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen. She made her film debut in 2010 as a dancer in Black Swan, but she didn't consider herself to have made an acting appearance until she was cast in the Starz mini-series Flesh and Bone.[citation needed]
