LAURA RUSSOM
Creative Director
Choreographer & Instructor
Simply put, there would be no Dance Lab OC without Laura! As our Creative Director, Laura has been with us since the day we opened our doors six years ago, bringing a rare gift for inspiring students and transforming non-dancers into truly talented performers.
​
She is renowned for her extraordinary ability to mold dancers into captivating, highly skilled artists grounded in flawless technique. An exceptionally gifted choreographer, she consistently produces brilliant, award-winning routines year after year.
While she loves teaching Lyrical, Contemporary, Musical Theater, and Jazz, her commitment to technical excellence is second to none: she truly is the best of the best.
​
Laura’s dedication touches every single aspect of the Dance Lab OC experience. She works hands-on with her dancers, even custom-designing costumes to bring the artistic vision and storyline of each piece to life. She has curated an incredible faculty of innovative choreographers, and we cannot wait to see the magic her team creates this season!
