Sara moved to the Rogue Valley from western New York in July 2024, and she’s been bringing a little East Coast energy with her ever since! Growing up, she was the kid who woke up early on purpose just to watch the morning weather forecast before school. Now, she gets to live that dream every weekday as the morning meteorologist on NewsWatch 12, helping Southern Oregon and Northern California start their day. Last year, Sara traded her weather maps for dance moves and competed in the Hip Hop Team category of Dancing with the Rogue Valley Stars. She went in convinced she had two left feet but surprise! She found a little rhythm hiding in there somewhere. Sara is beyond excited to be back on the dance floor and proud to support the amazing work of Sparrow Clubs. She’s fallen in love with the Rogue Valley community and is thrilled to help raise money and awareness for this year’s Sparrows. Sara hopes you’ll cheer her on and help make a difference for local kids!

Callasandra is beyond excited to step into the role of hip hop coach and share her passion for dance with the next generation of performers. Dance has been a huge part of Callasandra’s life for over 15 years, shaping not only her skills but also her confidence, work ethic, and love for movement. Throughout her years of training, Callasandra has had the opportunity to compete at multiple levels, gaining valuable competition experience that has taught her discipline, teamwork, and how to perform with both power and purpose. Hip hop is more than just choreography to her—it’s a way to express individuality, energy, and storytelling through movement. As a coach, Callasandra strives to create a positive and motivating environment where dancers feel supported, challenged, and confident being themselves. She believes that every dancer has something unique to bring to the floor, and her goal is to help each student grow both technically and artistically. Teaching is one of Callasandra’s greatest passions. She loves breaking down movement, watching dancers build confidence, and celebrating their progress—big and small. At the same time, she is always eager to keep learning, staying inspired by new styles, trends, and training opportunities within the dance world. Callasandra is excited to continue growing as both a coach and a dancer while helping her team work hard, have fun, and reach their full potential.
