She has performed hundreds of times with the ACSF company including notable performances in the Spirit of Brazil concert series, and the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival. She has been a member of the ACSF board of directors since 2014. Recently in 2021, Sara Breselor, was nominated and accepted the position of ABADÁ-Capoeira San Francisco Board Chair, adding even more her commitment to the success of our school.
