Living in New York and having good fortune of learning from the best, Dara Adler has led a versatile performing career. She has danced on the stages of Lincoln Center, City Center, Carnegie Hall, the Academy of Music, Broadway theaters, and throughout the good ole’ USA.
Dara began her studies at the School of American Ballet and La Guardia HS of Performing Arts.

As Dara’s career continued to evolve she had the opportunity to dance with the Paul Taylor Dance Co./Taylor 2 and shortly after moved into musical theater performing with the  Radio City Christmas Spectacular. On Broadway and National tour Dara performed with Phantom of the Opera, where she served as performer and  Dance Captain.
In addition to her performing career Dara shares her love of dance and movement through teaching. Her experience as a dancer naturally led her to the fitness world; personal training as well as teaching dance-based strengthening and movement classes, as well as Pilates. While on tour with Radio City Dara taught classes for company members to keep up strength and flexibility during a rigorous season. When touring with Phantom, she taught Master classes around the country, (through Broadway Connections and other programs) combining the art of technique, performance, and acting through movement
