Kavita Sarathy started as a dancer in Lyric’s original dance company (2016-17) and became part of the team committed to growing and expanding Lyric Dance Pro. Her dance training

and experience with Lyric intersected with her love for science, leading her to develop a

passion for studying movement and the human body. In college, that meant pursuing a

degree in Biotechnology with Kinesiology and completing a senior thesis project called

“Evaluating the Ankle Biomechanics of Female Ballet Dancers for Training Young

Dancers” at Syracuse University. This project was her first step into analyzing safe

movement within dancers and looking at factors to standardize training adolescent and youth dancers. Following the completion of her undergraduate degree,

Kavita is pursuing a Doctor of Physical Therapy at Columbia University and is a

part of the Dance Research Team within the program. This has allowed her to continue

studying the dance population in relation to both injury prevention, rehabilitation and

finding ways to screen dancers of all ages to prevent future complications. Just as Lyric

believes, Kavita believes that as long as a dancer wants to dance, they should be able

to. Upon completion of her

doctoral program, Kavita will be employed by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre as well as continue working with Amy and all of the LDP dancers.
