Creative Visionary Multi-Hyphenate Artist
My Mission is to create ease, flow, and connectivity for myself, my community, and the future performing artists.
From Broadway to Behind the Curtain, I direct, choreograph, educate, coach, and write with a fearless commitment to finding excellence in guiding others and myself to achieve the same in their careers.
As an evolving artist, I seek new avenues to explore within my craft & instrument with passion and expertise.
LaQuet (They/Them/Theirs) has 20 years of experience as a Broadway dancer/singer/actor and is a celebrated Dance and Musical Theater Educator who has been on the faculty of several Universities and Conservatories, including Texas State University, American Musical and Dramatic Academy and NY Film Academy. As the creator of The Onset Technique- A Holistic Practice for Performing Artists and Creatives- they strive to empower artists to find ease, flow, and connectivity in their creative disciplines. I believe in amplifying my community’s voices by challenging society’s traditions and creating art that drives change through social impact.
Professional performing credits include Broadway/National Tour: Mrs. Doubtfire The Musical, Beautiful The Carole King Musical, Lysistrata Jones, Memphis The Musical, The Lion King, Sweet Charity, Off-Broadway: The Life, Make Mine Manhattan, Ave Q, Regional Theater: Aida (Workshop), Flashdance, Candide, The Wiz, Ain’t Misbehavin’, Princesses-A New Musical, Chicago, Footloose, AIDA, Nights on Broadway III, Shrek- The Musical (NY Workshop), Jawbreaker The Musical (Industry Reading), Caty Bridgewater A Musical, The Submission, Closer, The Dead Guy, Television/Film: The Daily Show (Comedy Central), Blacklist (NBC), Girls on the Bus (HBO), I.F. (Paramount Pictures), Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, As the World Turns, Step Up 3D, Devoted, Sylvia Plath Project.
As an Educator, LaQuet’s movement analyst eye is a winning ingredient for students to understand why the body (our instruments) articulate with grace, style, and fluidity. This principle has been welcomed at Ballet Austin, The Performing Arts Project, Texas Christian University, and countless dance and theater schools nationwide. I’ve learned there are ways to approach creativity that aren’t exclusively high intensity, promote one kind of physical aesthetic, or come from a place of ableism. The performing arts are for everybody if those bodies have access to training.
As a Choreographer and Director, their work includes Musicals: Oklahoma The Musical (Spring 2025), Big Fish The Musical, Hair The Musical, The Addams Family, Dance: Family Pull Up (Dancers For Harris -Writer, Director, Performer), It Is, What It Is (Bruce Wood Dance Company), Welcome Here (Music Video), I Should Go (Music Video), Mixtape Musical Review (Austin City Pops), Plays: The Submission, The Dead Guy, Closer, Lifting a Burden (Playwright & Director), Driving (Playwright & Director).
Their work in the Harlem Community offers a tactile approach to elite performing arts training. This includes collaborations with Harlem JCC (Broadway Vocal for Kids), Figure Skating of Harlem (Dance & Fitness Trainer), and community classes through grants and awards from Harlem Grown and the Mellon Foundation, NYC Parks Department.
The highlight of their month is their Free Contemporary Jazz class for Professional artists.
As a Gender-Fluid, Lesbian/Queer parent who has been happily married for 11 years, I bring my love of the arts into every aspect of my life. I find it a revolutionary act to live with abundant healing and transformation.

A FEARLESS YOUNG ARTIST
When I wake up, I’m determined to create something every day.
As an artist, I seek opportunities to exercise my creativity through writing, choreography, direction, and entrepreneurship.
My first book, Fearless Beginnings (Coming in 2025), allows you to take a peak behind the curtain of starting one's journey into the performing arts. It is a guide of insights that will continually evolve but always be grounded in truth and transparency.
I aim to begin working on my second book, The Onset: How to Find Ease, flow, and Connectivity in Your Work, before going to The Work. This book is inspired by a journey of self-development, mental health, parenting in a pandemic, building a business, and the reflections that come on 20 years in the entertainment industry and 12 years of being an Educator and Coach.
Much of the book was inspired by reflections, essays, and articles I’ve shared on my Blog, Through This Lens. Coming December 2024
