Sarah received a scholarship from her dance studio her junior year in High School.

She then carried over her love for dance into college. Sarah attended the New York University, College at Buffalo majoring in Psychology with a minor in dance. As a freshman in College, Sarah was recruited to dance professionally with a traveling Modern Dance Company. Janet Reed and Dancers performed in numerous showcases and festivals in Western New York.

After graduating college, Sarah moved to Southwest Florida and began teaching at a local dance studio in Bonita Springs. Soon after Sarah opened the doors to her own studio in the Fall of 2011. Sarah continues to train with dance professionals in master classes from all over the world.

Sarah entered the world of competition with her dancers 10 years ago and has many overall high scores, special awards (including Best Choreography, Most Entertaining, Top scoring piece of the competition and many more).
