Sara James produced her first show NINE INCH HEELS at Dante’s in Portland, Oregon in May 2024 in order to give local pole dancers an independent platform to showcase their art. The show sold out quickly and was a thrilling success. Sara James has gone on to produce a Maynard tribute show SINS IN THE SPIRAL in 2025, and created an aerial burlesque production company Dare and Derriere, which she produces out of Alberta Rose Theatre in Portland, OR.
