Instuctors
Sarah Nagel – Artistic Director & Owner
Sarah Nagel, Artistic Director and Owner of Kaos Dance Elite was born in Anchorage, AK but didn’t start dancing until the age of 10 and living in Washington State. Sarah trained at Yelm Dance Shoppe under the direction of Angela Collins. She performed throughout her community and also danced at a competitive level. She took several master classes and attended conventions to better her skill in dance. Sarah’s mom Loree had her try softball when she was twelve but that ended after one season because Sarah thought it was more fun to do cart wheels and leaps in the outfield. Dance was her passion, is her passion and always will be.
For eight years Sarah has trained dancers at all levels. She believes there is so much more than teaching the fundamentals of dance. Hard work, passion, teamwork and leadership are just a few attributes that she believes she can instill in the children she works with. Not only by words of affirmation and encouragement but through her actions. Sarah is happily married and has two beautiful daughters. She believes family is everything so if you stop by you might just meet the whole family.
