Sarah Bush, Artistic Director

Choreographer Sarah Bush synthesizes her background in modern dance, hip hop, jazz, ballet, Afro-Caribbean and contact improv, resulting in high energy, highly accessible performances by her diverse company of dancers. Sarah’s resume is as expansive as her repertoire, performing and choreographing in several MTV music videos, appearing as a two time featured guest on the Tyra Banks Show, dancing on cruise ships, stages and night clubs around the country and the world, choreographing for AXIS Dance Company, guest performances with Bill T. Jones, working as an NBA Golden State Warrior Girl, and (since 2000) as a taiko-drumming warrior woman with Dance Brigade.
