Maki Sato was so inspired by seeing 100’s of Fred Astaire Dance Studio teachers and 1000’s of students dancing over a 5 Day event, that, upon returning to Australia, she trained to become a Fred Astaire Dance Studio professional. We welcomed her to the teaching profession in May of 1999.

As a teacher within Fred Astaire Dance Studio, she earned many National “top teacher” awards. And was awarded the coveted “Best Choreography of a Showcase Exhibition” in 2003 at the National Competition within the Fred Astaire Organization in Australia.
