Sarah is a movement artist who has carved her own path between concert dance and musical theater, bringing a new texture to theatrical storytelling. She works as both a performer and a choreographer, and always highlights how those two positions benefit each other. Her aesthetic blends physical athleticism with more pedestrian, gestural movement to portray relatable human beings on stage. Sarah’s skills and interests range from choreography for big dance musicals to movement direction for small, intimate plays. She has a keen eye for the overall vision of a show as well as the intricate details that help a production flow seamlessly. Dynamics, rhythm, improvisation, and character building are all emphasized in her work.
As a performer, you can currently see her on Broadway in the new musical Hell’s Kitchen — with music/lyrics by Alicia Keys, direction by Michael Greif, and choreography by Camille A. Brown — now at the Shubert Theatre straight off its sold-out run at The Public Theater.
From 2019-2022 she toured the country as “Mob Leader” in the 50th Anniversary National Tour of Jesus Christ Superstar and she became a member of the company Camille A. Brown and Dancers in 2018, touring and performing in two seasons at The Joyce theater in NYC. (Their recent performance of Mr. TOL E. RanCE was nominated for a 2023 Bessie Award!) In 2015, Sarah was a featured dancer in the Broadway revival of Fiddler on the Roof, with movement by Hofesh Shechter and direction by Bartlett Sher.
On TV, Sarah is featured in Harlem, Mozart in the Jungle (Season 4), Modern Love, and NBC's Jesus Christ Superstar LIVE. She’s also been a part of numerous industrials, live immersive events, and dance films.
As a creative, Sarah recently choreographed a reimagined, in-the-round version of Fiddler on the Roof at DC’s Signature Theatre with director Joe Calarco. The production received rave reviews and sold out its 3-month run. She is also the Movement Consultant and Intimacy Coordinator of the new Off-Broadway play Blackout Songs at the Robert W. Wilson Theater Space at MCC, alongside director Rory McGregor.
In the past few years, she’s worked on Broadway as the assistant choreographer of The WHO’s Tommy at the Nederlander Theatre, and the associate choreographer of Camelot on Broadway at Lincoln Center and How to Dance in Ohio at The Belasco Theatre.
In 2024 she choreographed a movement-based version of the classic show Into the Woods at the famous LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts alongside director Michael Herwitz.
Her choreography has also been featured in numerous festivals and showcases around the country, and she teaches contemporary, improvisation, and theater classes all around NYC and beyond.
In addition to dancing, Sarah has a Master’s in Journalism from NYU and works as a freelance arts writer.
Int/Adv Contemporary/Theater Class description: Sarah’s class strives to bridge the gap between pushing our physical boundaries and remaining relatable human beings. While rooted in improvisation and exploration, the emphasis is always on storytelling. The class learns to quickly release tension and make way for more powerful, efficient movement. Dynamics, rhythm, theatricality, and gestural vocabulary are all utilized in the phrases, and dancers are empowered to develop their artistry and take risks.
