"The quintessential definition of dance, to me, is freedom. We're in a moment where we realize how precious creative freedom is, and what a gift it is to be able to share it with each other, across all borders and boundaries." - Rachael Sage

Rachael Sage is a former dancer herself,who attended The School Of American Ballet and danced with The New York City Ballet in such Balanchine ballets as "The Nutcracker" and "Coppelia".Connecting to her roots in ballet, the NYC-based Sage"envisioned each song as a fully-choreographed multi-media experience." The result is an inspired set of piano-based chamber-pop merging orchestral elements with her signature blend of folk, pop and rock."Making this album was a meditation on my lifelong relationship to ballet and more recently, to lyrical dance. Dance gave me virtually everything I cherish as an artist: melody, expressiveness, a sense of ensemble, a love of costume and fashion, and foremost, discipline."Accordingly, Sage has several dance-centric videos in the works including one for her first single "I Don't Believe It", which explores the topic of bullying and will feature 3-time national dance championKaci King, an eleven-year-old performer who reached out to Sage on Facebook.
