Sarah Reich (Performer, Choreographer, Instructor, Composer) has emerged as one of the new leaders in the art form of Tap Dance. This Los Angeles native has been sought after to perform, choreograph, and teach in over 40 countries. "I want to continue to bring tap into mass media with great respect and quality," she says, focusing on "reprogramming the minds of the general public on their perception of tap dance." (Dance Magazine 2017)
Sarah has become one of the art form's pop culture ambassadors, thanks to her appearances in videos with Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox. Her videos with them have garnered millions of views on YouTube, all receiving rave reviews. She has toured the world with PMJ playing prestigious venues such as Radio City Music Hall, Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Sydney Opera House as well as a televised PBS special filmed in Las Vegas.
She is also creator of the Tap Music Project teaching tap dancers musicality with a live band in class.
