Biography
Sasha is one of the best dancers at Paradise Dance Academy, and she knows it. In class she is always in the front, and in Pilot, when Michelle was doing an "audition" with the girls, she seemed surprised when Michelle put her in the back. She acts like a "mean girl", but it's because her mom doesn't pay attention to her and her father is not-so-secretly gay, which everyone but her knows. She is tall and slender. Most of the girls, like Boo, are jealous of her figure. She skips school as shown in For Fanny, and drinks in Pilot. She doesn't seem like a stranger to those acts either! She is a dancer at Fanny's studio who possesses the classic ballet dancer’s body and talent but -- distracted by family issues at home -- doesn’t seem to have her heart in dancing. She is an incredibly accomplished and talented dancer, but her rebellious streak and lack of motivation may cause her trouble.
