06. SARAH ALICE BURNS
// BEYONCE’S BOMBSHELL BACK UP DANCER
I am so excited to bring you today’s episode with the incredibly talented, Sarah Alice Burns!
Sarah is a professional dancer, model and artist development coach born and raised in Perth, Western Australia. After several years of working overseas as a dancer, Sarah decided to take a leap of faith and move to the 'City of Angels'. After several setbacks and countless ‘no’s, she soon became accustomed to understanding that the LA dance industry was not for the faint hearted.
Sarah's fierce determination for success and extreme passion for her craft drove her to exceed all expectations and she went on to dance for an amazing list of artists including Brandy, Jay-Z, DJ Khaled, Meek Mill, Drake, Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull, Janelle Monáe, Kelly Rowland, Usher, Ne-Yo, Hailee Steinfeld and QUEEN BEY! Her hard work, talent and determination was rewarded with continuous work dancing for Beyoncé, for four years. Sarah joined Beyoncé on world tours, award shows, feature films, music videos, the infamous Super Bowl and the worldwide Ivy Park campaign.
In our chat, Sarah and I talk all things Beyoncé, life in LA, her career as a commercial dancer, rehearsing for the Super Bowl (think 14 hour days, 7 days a week, 3 months!), audition prep, self-care and Sarah’s program ‘Industry LA’.
Sarah has such a beautiful energy! She has a strong sense of self and is super driven and yet super sweet at the same time! It seriously felt like a fun chat with a girlfriend and I just wanted to go have a wine and dance the night away with her! I hope you enjoy listening to everything Sarah has to share.
