Galit Friedlander

As Creator of the ‘DanceSpeak’ Podcast and with over 16 years of experience in the dance world, Galit Friedlander is known for being utterly passionate for her art.

Although Galit’s training began in New York with Jazz, Ballet, Modern, and West African, she soon fell in love with the world of street dance, where she learned from the best of NYC's underground dancers. At the age of 14, she was accepted to LaGuardia High School, also known as the 'Fame' school, where she studied Theatre and each day would spend hours working on her acting craft in school and then train in dance in the afternoons and evenings. This is where she began combining the two disciplines to create a technique for stage presence and an authenticity in dance. Her unique ability to bring these two worlds together has contributed to her style of choreography and dance.

In 2011, within a year of entering the industry in Los Angeles, Galit defied all odds when she worked as the Assistant Choreographer for PRINCE's Welcome 2 America Tour, choreographed the film A Reason To Sing, and began teaching workshops and classes throughout Los Angeles. Credits to soon follow included Pharrell's record-breaking Happy video, choreographing and dancing in tours across the U.S. and China, MC Lyte (Cravin), and traveling to Guatemala as a ‘Pepsi’ dancer.

Recently, Galit has been brought on as Director for the LA SparKids (Dance Team for the National WNBA Champions, the LA Sparks) and continues to travel between Los Angeles, New York, and other cities sharing her love for dance in classes and workshops.

Galit believes staying inspired is key to living fully, and that every class can be a unique and transformational experience.
