Lar Lubovitch

Lar Lubovitch is one of America’s most versatile, popular and widely seen choreographers. Based in New York City, Lubovitch’s company has performed throughout the world, and his dances have also been performed by many other major companies, including American Ballet Theater, Joffrey Ballet, New York City Ballet, Paris Opera Ballet, Royal Danish Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and many others. His dances are renowned for their musicality, rhapsodic style and sophisticated formal structures. His radiant, highly technical choreography and deeply humanistic voice have been acclaimed worldwide.

----- THE COMPANY. The Lar Lubovitch Dance Company is internationally renowned as one of the world's best dance companies. Founded in 1968, the company is now celebrating its 55th anniversary. The 50th season kicked off with a preview performance on Nov 13 (2017) at Lincoln Center’s Clark Studio Theater, and culminated with performances from April 17-22 (2018) at the Joyce Theater. Celebrated for both its choreographic excellence and its unsurpassed dancing, the company has created more than 120 new dances and performed before millions throughout the United States and in more than 40 foreign countries. During 2023, the company has created two new dances. The first, Conversing With Brahms, premiered in Dallas in April, and the second, Desire, will premiere at the Guggenheim Museum in NYC on December 5, 2023.

----- FILM. His dances on film include Othello (broadcast throughout the U.S. on PBS’s “Great Performances” and nominated for an Emmy Award), Fandango (winner of an International Emmy Award) and My Funny Valentine for the Robert Altman film The Company (for which Lubovitch was nominated for an American Choreography Award).

----- ICE DANCING. Lubovitch has also made a notable contribution to choreography in the field of ice-dancing, having created concert dances for Olympic skaters John Curry, Dorothy Hamill, Peggy Fleming, Brian Orser, JoJo Starbuck and Paul Wylie, as well as two one-hour ice-dances for television: The Sleeping Beauty (PBS) and The Planets (A&E) (nominated for an International Emmy Award, a Cable Ace Award and a Grammy Award).

----- BROADWAY. His work on Broadway includes Into the Woods (Tony Award nomination), The Red Shoes (Astaire Award) and the Tony Award-winning revival of The King and I.

In 2007, Lubovitch created the Chicago Dancing Festival, launched in collaboration with the City of Chicago and the Museum of Contemporary Art, which, for 10 seasons, presented five days of performances in downtown Chicago, featuring a national roster of leading American dance companies. The festival was attended by more than 15,000 every year and was presented entirely free to the public. In 2007, he was named Chicagoan of the Year by the Chicago Tribune and in 2008 by Chicago Magazine. In 2016, Lubovitch created NY Quadrille at the Joyce Theater in NYC.

Lar Lubovitch, one of America’s foremost choreographers, founded his eponymous Company in New York in 1968. In the years since, he has choreographed more than 110 dances for his Company, which has performed throughout the United States and in more than 40 other countries. Lubovitch’s work, noted for its musicality, full-bodied fluid movement, and deeply humanistic voice, has been hailed as “giving pleasure though beauty.” His choreography is “a thrilling sight…ravishing the eye…telling stories both complicated and mysterious” (The New Yorker). In addition to his dances for his own Company, Lubovitch’s prodigious creative output includes works for ballet, theater, film, and ice dancing.
