Sarah Kawahara seems like a very nice lady to me. I know she is a renowned
choreographer, but I don't know much about her skating background (I only
started to watch skating in 1993). Was she a skater herself?

Ps: is she Canadian or American?

Thanks

She is Canadian. I believe Toller Cranston mentioned her skating at the
Minto Club in Toronto.

Someone else with more details?

She is Canadian. Sarah Kawahara grew up in Toronto Canada and trained at the
Granite Club there. She skated competitively, working with Carlo Fassi for a
while. She began as a principal
skater in the Ice Capades, working her way up to be the principle choreographer
for the organization until it was bought out by Dorothy Hamill.

She's choreographs for Disney on Ice now--she just did Hercules and she's
working with Feldmen productions for and Ice production of Anastasia. Her
brother is nice enough to correspond with me and keep me up to date on her
latest work.

I have some photos and a bit of info about Sarah here:

>How nice. And she's married to an alumnus of Ohio University who is, I
believe, in the TV business or something.

He's an actor. They also have two young children and she keeps an immaculate
house I'm told. ;-)
