Sarah DiPasquale is an Associate Professor and Chair of Dance Department at ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ
College. She earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Sage Graduate School and
a B.S. in Health and Exercise Science from Syracuse University. As a dancer, she trained
at The Center for Ballet and Dance Arts (Syracuse, NY), the Boston Conservatory, and

dance training on individuals with disabilities and at-risk youth alongside the investigation
of injury prevention and management in collegiate dancers. Sarah was named ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ’s
