LAURA NEW

Laura New, born and raised in Sydney, Australia, began her professional dance career at just 16. She trained extensively in Contemporary, Jazz, Ballet, and Hip Hop, scoring in the top 5 in Dance in NSW during her final HSC exams—a milestone that ignited her passion for Dance and Theatre.

 

Her early career highlights include performing at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Sydney Olympics and earning a Los Angeles scholarship through choreographers Napoleon and Tabitha, which brought her to The Edge in LA. Laura toured as a commercial dancer for artists such as Chingy, Busta Rhymes, Ja Rule, and 112, and appeared at the MTV Music Awards. She also starred in national commercials for Just Jeans and Vodafone before embarking on a singing and dance tour throughout Asia, which led her to the United States.

In LA, Laura’s dance career flourished with performances on The Voice, Dancing with the Stars, and as a finalist on America’s Got Talent with Freelusion. She backed up global superstars like Christina Aguilera, Pitbull, Pharrell, LMFAO, New Kids on the Block, and the Black Eyed Peas, while also spending six years as a member of the American pop girl group BG5, produced by Rock Mafia. The group toured internationally, appeared on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and reached the top 10 of the Billboard Dance Charts with their single "Scratch."

 

Laura recently completed a sold-out season at the Sydney Opera House and dazzled audiences as the bubbly blonde in Blanc de Blanc, performing on London’s West End and across Australia. Now based in New York, Laura has starred as a guest star on Nickelodeon’s Aaron and Erin, performed in a play at HB Playwrights Theatre, sold her first screenplay, The Merry Mix-Up, to Hallmark, and is in pre-production on her second short film, America.

 

Laura’s love for storytelling, whether through dance, film, or theatre, has taken her around the world. Her passion, drive, and artistry continue to push her toward new heights.
