My name is Sarah Tran. I moved from Vietnam to Texas in 2007. I am a dance artist, performer, choreographer, and educator. I graduated from Texas Woman’s University (TWU) with a BA in Dance Studies in May 2019. I am currently pursuing my Master of Fine Arts in Dance at TWU.

​

After many desperate attempts due to financial status and lack of family support, I finally became a member of the Bowie Belles drill team in high school. This was the very first opportunity for me to be part of a dance organization, however, it only lasted for a year. I decided to major in dance at TWU, where my professional dance training really began.

My strengths are modern dance, hip-hop, contemporary, and improvisation. Previously, I was a dance coach at Dynasty Dance Academy and a hip-hop instructor at TWU Fitness & Recreation Center. I am currently a modern/contemporary instructor for advanced level at Denton Ballet Academy. I have been a visiting choreographer for the Bowie Belles drill team every year since 2016, the same place where I first encountered dance.

​

My most recent works (04301975 and Living) were presented at the DanceMakers concert series at TWU, Texas Storytelling Festival, and Artists Enclave’s Day of the Dance show in downtown Denton (2019).

I am striving to become a professional choreographer and a Professor of Dance after earning my MFA degree.
