Lauryn Johnson

Lauryn Johnson is a dancer, choreographer and instructor; a graphic designer, writer, and dance historian; and generally a very curious person. To learn more about Lauryn as a performer, visit lauryn-johnson.com and follow @laurynjohnson20 on Instagram. Don't be surprised if you run into her at a theater in New York—she works at several—including the New York City Ballet, the NY Philharmonic, and other Broadway theaters. But more often you'll find Lauryn with her nose in a book or in the dance studio.

In 2021, upon discovering an archive of hidden dance treasures at the New York Public Library, she was inspired to crack open every filing cabinet, dusty book, and manila folder to see what else lay unseen and unappreciated in libraries across the country. With the encouragement of the dance community, she made it her mission to bring forgotten dance stories to light.

Lauryn received her B.A. in graphic design and writing from Oakland University and graduated magnum cum laude. She has been commissioned to curate dance history content for the Vail Dance Festival and the George Balanchine Foundation, and has contributed to the Jerome Robbins Foundation newsletter.
