Originally from Stowe, VT, Sarah Lapinsky began her formal dance training in the high school program of The University of North Carolina School of the Arts. She then went on to graduate Summa Cum Laude from the SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Dance with a BFA in dance performance with a Composition Concentration along with a minor in Arts Management. In 2016, she was selected to study at the London Contemporary Dance School where she performed in a new immersive work by members of the Punchdrunk company. While at Purchase, Sarah performed works by Doug Varone, José Limón, Nejla Yasemin Yatkin, Sue Bernhard, Barak Marshall, and Dylan Crossman. Living in NYC, Sarah was a company member of Monica Hogan Danceworks and Six Degrees Dance while also freelancing in projects by Elisabeth Archer, Spare Change Dance Company, Caitlin Javech, and Stubborn MVMT among others.

As a choreographer, Sarah developed her voice by creating various projects such as: Sentient Beings Are We, which was selected to be a part of the 2019 Austin Dance Festival; Not For You, shown at Small Plates Dance; Plastic Plates Don’t Break performed at the ASBC Showcase and the film adaptation shown at the DANCE SHORTS Film Festival and the 92Y Mobile Dance Film Festival, for which she was reviewed to be a “promise choreographer” by the NY Times. Sarah also had the opportunity to collaborate with the Conservatory of Theatre Arts of Purchase College choreographing for their productions of The Antigone Project, The Bacchae of Euripides, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In September 2020, Sarah relocated to London to pursue an MFA in Choreography from the University of Roehampton which she earned with Distinction in 2022.

She is currently based between London and Vermont. For the most up-to-date information on what Sarah is up to, check out her Instagram or the connecting page on this website.
