Celeste Lanuza

Performing Art – New York - NYC

Originally from San Diego, California, I moved to New York City to make my mark on the theater, dance and music world. I've been called a true renaissance woman, who takes the stage as a fireball of energy geared towards sharing original live creative art encompassing musical composition and choreographic work danced. Ms. Lanuza is a published singer-songwriter, commissioned choreographer and international performer. After graduating from Philly's University of the Arts with a BFA in Dance and Musical Theatre I moved to Los Angeles performing full time in theatrical productions as a singer-dancer soon acting in regional theatre musicals and dancing in companies. A year after I was offered to complete the MFA in Dance Choreography from UC Irvine which inspired me to create my dance company Celeste Lanuza Dance Theatre where I present work that entertains and provokes thought featuring east and west coast professional performers dancers and musicians. I have performed in professional regional theaters working with Broadway choreographers, esteemed Opera houses, music videos, on TV such as PBS art specials, written music with Grammy nominated artists and producers, performed on cruise ships, resorts, salsa and jazz clubs and more. My experience as a Hispanic woman, performer, and educator continues to influence my creative endeavors. I am dreamer who believes that dreams can come to a reality.
