Her dance educational experience over the last decade includes directing high school dance programs, directing an apprentice dance company, developing dance education and arts integration curriculum, presenting at national dance education conferences, and leading professional development to educators and teaching artists. Sara brings this passion and experiences to the Esperanza Dance Project (EDP) board, and also offers the unique perspective of being a former EDP dance member. Sara began her involvement with EDP performing in the first “House of Hope.” Sara has always been drawn in by the power of the arts to make social change and the mission of EDP is particularly relevant and invaluable to her work with high school students.
