Dara credits ASA! with introducing her to the magic of dance, its incredible ability to nurture the whole self – mind, body & spirit – and to empower one to push beyond expectations. A native of Philadelphia (PA), with a B.S. in Psychology and a Master’s in Education, she’s known for her expertise in creating out-of-the-box learning experiences that inspire youth and adults to  transform the mind,  strengthen the body, and  pursue dreams despite the “odds”. So, ASA! was a perfect fit.

She dedicates her classes to those who are deeply moved by music and who were ever told that they could not. “You can! Dive in, sweat and most of all, let’s have some fun!”
