Melbourne, AU – June 12, 2026 – Australian dancer, choreographer, and educator Lisa Antoinette Herbert is taking the next step in her career with a relocation to Los Angeles, positioning herself at the center of the global commercial dance industry after building one of the most diverse and accomplished careers in the Australian dance scene.
With more than eight years of professional experience and a lifetime dedicated to dance, Herbert has established herself as a respected force across stage, screen, education, choreography, and creative development. Her career spans performances alongside internationally recognized artists including Snoop Dogg, Katy Perry, Robbie Williams, Delta Goodrem, Jessica Mauboy, Dami Im, and Tones and I, as well as appearances at some of Australia’s most prominent live events, including the AFL Grand Final, Australian Open, Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix, and Suncorp Super Netball Grand Final.
Now, Herbert is relocating to Los Angeles, a city widely recognized as the global hub of commercial dance, where the scale of the entertainment industry creates significantly greater opportunities for performers, choreographers, and creative directors working across live touring, film, television, and music.
Herbert’s move reflects a broader reality facing many Australian dance professionals. While Australia continues to produce world-class performers and creative talent, the local commercial dance market remains comparatively limited in size. Geographic isolation, fewer large-scale music tours, and a smaller entertainment infrastructure often require artists seeking sustained international growth to pursue opportunities abroad.
“Australia has given me an incredible foundation and career,” Herbert said. “I’ve been fortunate to work with some amazing artists, productions, and organizations throughout my journey. But there comes a point where growth requires access to larger industries, more touring opportunities, and a broader network of creative collaborators. Los Angeles offers an environment where artists can continuously develop, create, and contribute on a global scale.”
Herbert’s experience extends beyond performance. She appeared as a featured dancer in Paramount Pictures’ Better Man, directed by Michael Gracey, whose previous work includes The Greatest Showman. Her choreography and creative work have also contributed to campaigns and productions for major Australian brands including NAB, Virgin Australia, and Crown’s Futuration.
Alongside her professional performance career, Herbert has become one of Australia’s most sought-after dance educators. She has taught at the Victorian Dance Festival for three consecutive years and regularly delivers sold-out workshops across the country, mentoring the next generation of performers while helping bridge the gap between training and professional employment.
That commitment to industry development led Herbert to create The Dance Abysss, a Victorian-based performance platform designed to provide emerging dancers with practical pathways into the professional industry. Through performance opportunities, creative development, and industry-focused experiences, the initiative has become an important stepping stone for dancers preparing to transition from training environments into professional careers.
Herbert’s relocation represents more than a personal milestone. It reflects the growing international mobility of Australian creative professionals who are increasingly seeking opportunities in larger global entertainment markets while continuing to contribute to the development of talent at home.
As she expands her work internationally, Herbert remains committed to representing Australian dance on a global stage while pursuing new opportunities across touring productions, film, television, choreography, stage direction, and creative leadership.
