Saskia Duncan is a principal dancer at the Sydney Ballet Company.

In Season 2, she posed as a major antagonist to Tara while teaching repertoire classes at the Academy, not being able to dance anymore because she went into rehab after injuring her ankle at a Firebird performance. She sees Tara as a threat to her position and title as "youngest principal dancer ever" with the Company and therefore gives Tara a hard time, going as far as breaking Tara's back during a tutoring lesson with Ben as witness. Even though Tara asks her on numerous occasions, even in front of Miss Raine, to make an apology, Saskia refuses and leaves the Academy before she can be expelled.

In Season 3, the Company director was able "to lure her back" for the role of Giselle in the actual production. She expresses her sadness at Sammy's death towards Tara and even gives her friendly advices about work with the director ("no artistry"), offering to take Tara through the peasant piece again. Later the same day, she accuses her partner of dancing only for himself and witnesses Ben and Tara dancing a pas de deux from the Giselle. She then offers Ben private tutoring lessons, teasing him with the possibility of him becoming earlier a soloist with the Company than expected, maybe even her partner.
