Sarah Mawyer Ridenhour ’15 (Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance) is the associate choreographer for Kings Dominion’s summer production of “Grand Carnivale.” She assisted with the main stage show “Royal Rhythms,” the opening and closing showcase, “The Spectacle of Color Parade” and “The Royal Send-Off.”

This is Ridenhour’s second season working as associate choreographer (WinterFest 2019 and Carnivale 2022). She has previously performed in numerous shows over the last six years.
