Sara is passionate about American live music and dance traditions.

Originally from Ithaca NY, Sara has been dancing & teaching various partner dances for over 20 years. Her mother was a prominent disc jockey & music promoter and through her was given a love of local music & introduction to the dance scene in the 90's. Social dancing & teaching has included various forms of Country, Cajun, Zydeco, Swing, Blues, and Latin for 2+ decades. A love of genre hopping has given her unique understanding of movement & rhythm.

Based in Brooklyn since 2011, she’s been an integral part of the local music and dance scene. Sara’s passion and joy is infectious – from first time steppers to seasoned shakers it starts with a welcoming space. Classes build the fundamental language of social dance.

She has presented at Grassroots Culture Camp & Festival, Let’s Zydeco, Swamp in the City, Honkytonkin' in Queens, Skinny Dennis, and more for Josh Hedley, Jim Lauderdale, Summer Dean, Caleb Klauder Country Band, Sweet Megg, Olivia Ellen Lloyd, the Slide Stops, Los Texmaniacs, Jesse Lége, the Pine Leaf Boys, Preston & Keith Frank, Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas, CJ Chenier, Ruben Moreno and Zydeco Re-Evolution, Rose & the Bros, Le Winston, and many more!
