LARA LOCKWOOD

Dancer, Instructor, Choreographer & Founder

I started Savvy Sosh as a way to spread joy and connect people through dance. Each class I teach and every project I take, has this goal at its heart.

I grew up in the mountains of Salt Lake City, UT and enjoyed the outdoorsy trail-loving lifestyle of growing up in the West. I started ballet at age 3 and have been dancing ever since. My dance experience includes everything from jazz, hip hop and contemporary to folk dances, country line dancing and ballroom. I attended the University of Utah and have BA degrees in English and Communication.

I spent ten years as a professional event planner organizing black tie galas, community walks, fashion shows and back yard soirees. I used these experiences to create and teach college level event planning classes. I love teaching and it shows.

I moved to Redmond, WA 14 years ago with my husband and three boys. I immediately become involved with our community and spent six years on the Redmond Arts and Culture Commission. I love the NW and spend my free time on the trails, camping, playing tennis, soaking up lake days, going to the theatre and reading.
