Hi, I’m Larissa Velez-Jackson

A choreographer, movement and wellness educator, also a cancer survivor. I promote healing through performances and body-mind-spirit services that create empowered and inclusive community.

LVJ Performance Co.

Choreographer, Artistic Director 

I create and perform in my own productions as the artistic director of LVJ Performance Co. with two pathways for work; large-scale intergenerational community performances and works of improvisation for dancers using my Star Pû Method. For the latter, I was nominated for a New York Dance and Performance Bessie Award for Outstanding Emerging Choreographer in 2016.
