Born and raised in Montclair New Jersey, Sierra is a passionate artist continuing the legacy of American Modern dance through Performance & Education. With training in West African Dance & Tap from a very young age, rhythmic movement is the very foundation of Sierra's love for the personification of sound through dance. A product of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center's Youth Artist Institute as well as Montclair State University, she studied extensively in Horton and Limón. As a member of Graham 2, Sierra received her Teacher's Certification in the Graham Technique from the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance. As an African American woman, Sierra considers it is an honor to continue representation and to share her artistry through performance and education in the American Modern Dance community.
