When Sarah Lee first discovered West African Dance in1993, she was hooked
immediately, and spent the next decade studying with dozens of well-known
instructors from various parts of West Africa. In 2004, Sarah Lee’s
passion for this art form took her to Senegal and then Guinea West Africa
on a dance intensive with her primary instructor: Master Dancer Youssouf
Koumbassa. She has since returned to Guinea eight more times for multiple
months at a time to dance and learn from some of the best West African
dancers and instructors in the world. Sarah Lee has fallen completely
in love with the people, the culture and the music and dance of Guinea
West Africa. She is now living in Seattle, powerfully committed to sharing
her love and knowledge of this amazing culture, building a bridge between
these two very different cultures. A true healer in the best sense of
the word, her infectious enthusiasm, playfulness and generosity of spirit,
make her the perfect ambassador for the West African traditions that
she shares from her heart.
