About Sally Charles

Dorothy Gale of Kansas certainly has nothing on Sally Charles of Missouri (then Illinois, then Florida).  Dorothy may have taken a memorable trip to a strange, foreign land but Sally’s life journey has proven no less remarkable.  And she didn’t even have a tornado to help.

Sally grew up in a suburb of St. Louis, a kid involved in a zillion interests with a zillion friends.  By high school, where she excelled at dancing, acting, music and athletics including field hockey, swimming and golf-she ranked among the outstanding modern dancers in the nation and was even offered a Hollywood movie contract which her father promptly tore up to ensure she would continue on to college rather than Culver City (the real-life location, ironically, of M-G-M Pictures’ filmed Oz).

Sally majored in modern dance at the University of Illinois, one of the few schools at the time offering such a major, then took a detour after graduation to become a farmer’s wife and eventually a mother.  She didn’t belong on a farm any more than Dorothy Gale did but, Sally reflects today, “I was the best farmer’s wife who was ever a farmer’s wife.  Getting the kids off to school in the morning I’d have three pies baking in the oven already to bring to the church social.”

She wasn’t destined to bake pies forever.  Some girls in her small community had heard she was a dancer and hesitantly asked her if she would teach them to dance.  It wasn’t long before she was starting a dancing school in nearby Rockford, Illinois.  “I started with nothing, absolutely nothing,” she remembers, “scared to death.  But in time I had hundreds of kids trying out for our annual productions of ‘The Nutcracker’ and I had some of the most prominent dance figures in the world coming to Rockford to do master lessons at my school.”

Sally also ended up choreographing Rockford’s own ice star Janet Lynn for her Olympic Medal-winning figure skating program and, in the process, introducing a new artistic dimension into Lynn’s skating that influenced the performing styles of many other figure skaters.

That might have been the end of a grand saga but, no, Sally never clicked her red slippers to get back to the farm.  Instead, she ended up in a gorgeous home of her own design in Florida, and there she revived her childhood interest in music-she’s a proficient pianist-and began composing music.  Her trademark is richly romantic ballad writing with creamy melodies and achingly heartfelt lyrics but, in truth, she can write and has written every kind of song imaginable as is evidenced on this delightful new collection.
