After passing her Royal Academy of Dancing (RAD) advanced level exam in 1941, she moved to Sydney.
She passed the RAD Solo Seal exam and joined the Kirsova Ballet, which was based in Sydney.
During the late 1940s, during an extended layoff period from the company, she danced with the Metropolitan Ballet[1] in England and the Brussels Opera in Belgium.
For a number of years after her retirement from performing, she was director of the Peggy Sager School of Ballet in Mount Eliza.
[2] Sager was known for her technical ability although she was told by English dancer Anton Dolin that she was "not a chocolate-box beauty".
