Instructor: SARA YEO

SARA YEO

Dancing has been a lifelong passion for Sara, who began her dance training at the age of 5 in ballet, modern, and tap. In the last two decades, she has shared her love of tap with people of all ages in Hawai'i, Wisconsin, and Utah. She moved to Salt Lake City in 2014 to take a faculty position in the Department of Communication at the University of Utah. Here, the world of social dancing opened to her when she discovered the Lindy Hop with Salt City Swing in April 2017. She has since devoted significant time to learning all things related to swing dancing and began teaching in July 2018. As an instructor, she is committed to helping students build a solid foundation of technique in a fun and inclusive environment.

Partner Anthony Chen - Anthony Chen is a well recognized name in the small world of Lindy Hop. He started dancing at age 8 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and had a circuitous path leading to where he is now, training in several other dance styles, including hip-hop, Tango, and West Coast Swing. On the social dance floor he is known to be playful, musical, creative, and clear. He holds first place titles from national and international events such as Lindyfest and Lone Star Championships, Montreal Swing Riot, Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown, Lindy Focus, and International Lindy Hop Championships, and he has taught workshops all across North America and Asia. Combined with his professional background in education, his love of both leading and following have been instrumental to making the classes that he teaches both clear and intuitive.
