Sarah Moss, Artistic Director

A native San Franciscan, Sarah got her start tap dancing at convalescent homes at age 8. After being accepted into the intensive program at The Ailey School in New York, she left the Bay Area as a Cultural Anthropology student, to pursue dance.
She was later awarded a scholarship to The Broadway Dance Center in NYC and studied under Madame Darvash and Bill Hastings. This led to work with Jostyn and Yagi Productions, Sapporo Byokai Ballet in Japan, and with Graham protegee Marie Christine Giordano. After traveling the world for many years, she found her dance family once again in S.F.
Sarah has been a faculty member and 20 year student at the San Francisco Dance Center, where she trained with Ballet Masters Arturo Fernandez and Summer Lee Rhatigan. She also had the pleasure to work with Dance Through Time as a wardrobe assistant accompanying them on their East Coast tour. Sarah has designed costumes for Dark Porch Theater, Fou Fou Ha!
