Jana Krumholtz (she/her)
Actor, Dancer, Writer, Producer
Jana Krumholtz is a Jewish artist who lives and creates in LA and NYC. She graduated from NYU with an Economics Degree, minor in Pre-Business and a Concentration in Non-Profit Management. Upon graduation, she chose to follow her lifelong dream of being a dancer. She trained at Alvin Ailey as well as amongst the leading commercial choreographers in NYC at the time. Her career began as she danced alongside OMI on America’s Got Talent, The Rolling Stones for their 50th Anniversary Concert, on SNL alongside Scarlett Johansson and Elizabeth Banks, with Nick Jonas on the VMAs, alongside Kevin Bacon on the Jimmy Fallon Show and many more. The highlight of her dance career has been as a series dancer on Lip Sync Battle for 5 seasons, where she had the opportunity to work closely with LLCoolJ, dance with Beyonce, JLo, Channing Tatum and many more. Her most recent credit includes dancing with Billie Eilish at COACHELLA 2022.
While living in LA, Jana began to expand her creative aspirations into acting, writing, producing and coaching movement. Appearing in many short films and commercial spots, Jana discovered a new passion in storytelling. The first piece she wrote, directed and performed was in the Fringe in 2019 as a part of the show ‘Chrysalis.’ This experience inspired Jana to create her own one-woman show, premiering this year at the Fringe.
In the past few years Jana has also began expanding her connection to movement. She coaches actors and dancers, in an energetic explorative way, where the purpose is to find authenticity moving from the inside out. She created her own program called Return to Dance (https://www.returntodance.org/). As a choreographer Jana’s credits include “Bedroom Eyes” Music Video by The Knocks, “Look at Me Now,” music video by Kathleen Monteleone and a commercial for Rise Together LA featuring a dance battle all in the attempt to bring awareness to aiding homelessness.
Jana is here to love, create and inspire authenticity. BE WHO YOU ARE.
