Sara Bibik

Choreographer

Sara Bibik was a founding member, principal dancer, artistic administrator, and workshop director at River North Dance Chicago over a 26-year span. She then served as Workshop Director for DanceWorks Chicago continuing to produce holistic programs for high school, collegiate, and early-career dancers until 2025.
