Sarah HaussFaculty
I have taught at Gustavus on and off since 1994. I have been a professional choreographer and dancer based in the Twin Cities for over 25 years. I have a BA from University of Oregon and an MFA from University of Colorado-Boulder. I incorporated studies at Hunter College CUNY and University of Wisconsin -Milwaukee toward my degrees as well. I am a licensed K-12 Dance Teacher as well. Over the years, I have received funding for my artistic work from the McKnight Foundation, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, the Jerome Foundation, and the Minnesota State Arts Board. I enjoy creating, teaching and learning. I also teach Yoga and have three great kids. I am part of KASM Dance Collective in the Twin Cities.
