After moving to Sandpoint at age 10, Sara began training at Studio One Dance Academy, where her commitment and talent quickly stood out. By age 11, she was assisting classes and choreographing her own solos and trios—many of which went on to win awards at regional competitions. Her early start in teaching laid the foundation for a lifelong dedication to dance education.
