-
Sara Ahn was born and raised in Hawaii. While in Oregon, she worked with Rainbow Dance Theater under artistic directors Valerie Bergman and 1996 Emmy recipient and Pilobolus Dance Theater collaborator Darryl Thomas. Sara toured with the company throughout the United States and at the World Expo 2005 in Aichi, Japan.
After returning to Hawaii in 2005, Sara found her true love in street dancing, and co-founded Kauai UnderGround Artists (KUGA), a non-profit project aimed at drug addiction and suicide prevention. KUGA received the ''Healing Our Island'' grant and collaborated with the public school system to provide alternative activities for at-risk youth, offering instruction in hip-hop and b-boying, and hosting community events. In February 2009, Sara launched KUGA Dance Company, which has performed throughout Kauai and at the Word in Motion Urban Dance Festival in Woodland Hills, California.
