Loretta is a bi-coastal performer, fitness professional, and creative with roots in classical ballet and a career that spans musical theater, commercial dance, and now acting and personal training.
Originally from the Midwest, Loretta began formal ballet training at the age of 13, later than most, but quickly caught up through intense study at Irina Makkai Classical Ballet School and eventually the Joffrey Ballet in Chicago. There, she expanded her training to include jazz, contemporary, gaga, and modern dance under the guidance of some of the industry’s most respected artists. Before graduating, she had the honor of performing alongside the Joffrey company and for Chicago’s Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
After dancing professionally with companies across the Midwest and spending two seasons with Texas Ballet Theater, Loretta moved to New York. What was meant to be a summer with New York Dance Project turned into a permanent relocation when she decided to miss her flight home and pursue commercial dance and theater full-time.
In New York, she quickly began booking work. Walking in NYFW and appearing in campaigns for brands like MAC Cosmetics and GAP. She made her Broadway national tour debut as a swing in CATS (covering Victoria, Tantomile, and Sillabub) and has since collaborated with many of the industry’s leading choreographers and creatives.
In 2020, Loretta moved to the west coast to expand into on-screen acting and has been featured in several LA-based projects. Her focus has since evolved to include personal training, where she’s currently building her own fitness brand. She is a competitive athlete and has enjoyed picking up skills from CrossFit, distance running, and Hydrox.
Now married and living in Southern California, Loretta is also a proud dog mom to the world’s most incredible little Schnoodle. Outside of performing and training, she loves exploring new restaurants, traveling to see family, and hunting down the best coffee shops in every city she visits.
