INSTRUCTORS

I’ve danced for about 5-6 years now. I started with a small studio owned by my dad’s cousin. Focused a lot on hip hop and quince choreography. From there I danced in the drill team in high school for a year from there I danced for U of H for a year. Starting summer 2015 I began teaching at a studio on a weekly basis and have been teaching ever since!

Hey DivaDancers! My name is Sarah and I am SO pumped to dance with you! Like all of my fellow instructors, my class is for ALL levels so all are welcome! In my class you can expect to feel empowered in the skin you're in, challenged, and joy-filled! I grew up dancing since I was 3 years old and haven't stopped since. It's been a dream of mine to teach so I am so honored and excited to join the DIvaDance squad! I am originally from Houston and have lived in Los Angeles for a little bit as well as Austin but now I'm back in my hometown and loving it! When I'm not dancing, you'll find me at a local coffee shop - iced latte and snack in hand. I love dance because it's for everyone and it's really helped me connect to myself and my body throughout my life so I hope you find that, too! I love sharing about body positivity and women's empowerment as well as how you can find peace with food, your body, and exercise over at my instagram @livinglikegolden and my blog www.livinglikegolden.com so check it out! See you in class! Or at a coffee shop ;)
