Sana Tepley first began dancing ballet at the age of 5 at Corvallis Academy of Ballet where she continued to dance until graduating high school in 2017. She then completed her degrees in Ballet (BFA) and Spanish (Minor) at the University of Utah in 2021. She danced in several classical and contemporary works including Nikiya Act 1 Variation, Giselle Act 2, Le Jardín Anime, "Preludes" by Rick McCullough, and "Maybe Tomorrow" by Melissa Bobick. Throughout her college career, she also attended summer programs at Oregon Ballet Theater, Art of Madrid, and Joffrey West. After graduation, she began teaching ballet in Seattle where she has enjoyed teaching students ages 4 to adults. She is also expanding her repertoire as a choreographer: creating classical advanced pieces, group children's works, and lyrical dance pieces. Sana is very excited to step back onto the stage this year.
