Victoria Lundell

Victoria Lundell is originally from Michigan where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance at the University of Michigan in 1989. After professionally dancing in the Detroit area for several years she then moved to New York City and continued her performing career with the internationally acclaimed Parsons Dance Company, where she also taught workshops and set Mr. Parsons’ works on colleges and conservatories throughout the U.S., Asia and Europe, including the Juilliard School and the Paris Opera Ballet.

In 1994 she began dancing with the prestigious Mark Morris Dance Group, performing frequently at New York City’s Lincoln Center, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Zellerbach Theatre in Berkeley, CA, and also in Tel-Aviv, Istanbul and Hong Kong, to name a few. She has had the pleasure of performing both on stage and on film with cellist Yo-Yo Ma in “Falling Down Stairs,” a collaboration between Mr. Ma and Mr. Morris of the music of J.S. Bach’s Third Cello Suites.

Upon retiring from the road, Ms. Lundell pursued studies in anatomy, body analysis and body conditioning with Irene Dowd and Susanna Weiss, and began working privately with clients in NYC on personal fitness. She also began integrating hatha yoga into her work from her studies of B.K.S. Iyengar and Bikram Choudhury, while continuing a part-time free-lance dance career in NYC with several independent choreographers.

Vicky’s more permanent transition from New York City to this beautiful Catskill region is very exciting for her as she hopes to share the discipline and spirit of theatre dance for its breadth of artistic and cultural understanding and musical education. She also wants to share her heartfelt belief that the path to better health can begin with increased awareness of one’s own body, mindful practice, and a community intent upon the continued discovery of such well-being.
