At Jubilee!, Lara worked her way from Bluebell to Showgirl and to one of the leads as Principal Dancer.

You might catch Lara on the pages of “People” magazine aside Elton John, on “Regis and Kelly” or even dancing aside Brian Newman and Lady Gaga’s Jazz Band. If Lara’s not in Vegas, she’s likely out of the country learning about a new culture through dance, art and especially food.
