Sarah (they/them) first joined the Rae Crew as a host back in 2024, though they have been living and working in San Francisco since 2017. Originally from Southern California, Sarah began coaching and choreographing in the competitive cheerleading scene where they first honed their skills as a performer and teacher. It was this love for dynamic formations, sharp, synchronized movement, and overall performance quality that first drew Sarah to K-Pop.

As an instructor, Sarah uses their experience in other styles like Hip-Hop, Jazz Funk, and Shuffle to enhance their teaching and educate their students about the origins of many K-Pop concepts and trends. Sarah aims to branch out from the latest releases and teach a range of songs and styles not frequently seen in other K-Pop classes. That being said, Sarah is mostly drawn to the high-energy, dynamic choreographers of the K-Pop industry like Bada Lee, Rie Hata, Back Kooyoung, and BBTrippin.

When they aren’t teaching, you’ll likely find them behind the front desk or in classes alongside other Rae students. Check them out on Instagram to see what song they’ll be teaching next!
