OUR DIRECTOR

Perlinger-85.jpg

Sara Perlinger is the owner and sole instructor of Ogallala Dance Academy. Miss Sara's love for dance started at the young age of 2 when she enrolled in her first ballet class. Since then she's immersed herself in this artform to the highest degree through local and national studios. Sara's resume includes countless recital instructions, premier class mastery through organizations like Broadway Dance Center New York, and various roles in the Lincoln Midwest Ballet Company. She attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and graduated with her Bachelor's Degree in Education & Early Childhood in 2016. The common theme in all of Sara's aspirations has been a love for working with children. It's the integral character trait that allowed her to teach in the classroom setting for 7 years. With over a decade of experience as a dance instructor, Miss Sara finds great satisfaction teaching a variety of disciplines & competition classes for all ages. She looks forward to sharing her gift and love of dance with the next generation of dancers here at ODA.
