about

 

Sarah Laughland (she/her) is an educator, performer, choreographer, photographer, and songwriter.

 

Her teaching philosophy revolves around fostering spaces that invite artists to get curious, ask questions, and investigate the line between history, body awareness, and emotional connection that performance so beautifully walks.

 

She’s taught and choreographed at institutions across the region, including Montgomery College, Theatre Lab, Imagination Stage, The Washington School of Ballet, Levine School of Music, Fairfax Fine Arts Academy, Barter Theatre, Opera Lafayette, Frederick Fine Arts Academy, and Emory & Henry College.  She is a former Resident Acting Company member at Barter Theatre (Abingdon, VA from 2014-2019).

 

She’s a member of the dance company chitra.MOVES, and has danced locally with the RAMdance Collective, through the Atlas Intersections Festival, Dance Canvas, and the Transformations Festivals. Sarah has performed at Theater J, Imagination Stage, Texas Shakespeare Festival, Southern Appalachian Repertory Company, Momentum Dance Theatre, The Kennedy Center, Flying V and Dollywood, among others.

 

She currently teaches group classes & private lessons for youth & adults at Unity Dance & Movement (Bethesda, MD), and The Washington School of Ballet.

 

Her first musical single, “Cold Feet”, will debut in March 2026. 

 

Sarah also owns and operates a photography business, serving clients through wedding, lifestyle, and headshot photography. Finding a way to live both in front of and behind the scenes is a true gift. You can check out her bustling business HERE <3
