About Sarah
@sarahlutzky
Sarah Lutzky received most of her early dance education from Degas Dance Studio in Los Angeles, CA, where she trained under the artistic direction of Anacia Weiskittel in various styles. During high school, she accompanied her training with pre-professional summer intensives nationwide, including Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Northwest Dance Project, and Alvin Ailey. After high school, she attended New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, receiving her BFA in dance. At NYU, she trained in various ballet styles, postmodern-contemporary techniques, and composition under some of NYC’s best professors, exploring the choreography of her peers and herself. Her senior year, she had the honor of performing influential repertoire by Wayne Mcgregor (set by Davide Di Pretoro) and Sidra Bell and having her choreography featured in multiple performance concerts.
Since graduating from NYU in 2020, she has joined Arsenal Movement Dance Project, showcased new work (Spoke the Hub’s 2022 Winter Follies Concert and Estia Day Fest 2022), and co-choreographed and performed with musical artist Socha at Baby’s All Right. Sarah is honored to have been selected to showcase work with Eryc Taylor Dance and looks forward to continuing to grow as an emerging choreographer in NYC.
SARAH'S CHOREOGRAPHIC STYLE IN 3 WORDS:
MYSTICAL, SELF-INDULGENT, AND EDGE.

"The people who will benefit from seeing my work are in a period of their life where change & development feel inevitable; perhaps they feel as if they have one foot in the past and one in the future, which in turn is disrupting their ability to be in the present."

"I aim to solace in what is for myself as well as for my dancers creating and performing alongside me. I also hope to get the audience/viewers thinking & feeling about themselves & their relationship to life by experiencing the work"
