Adrianna Rakauskas grew up in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, and has been dancing since the age of 2. She trained in various dance styles, began competing at 8 years old, and performed at events like the Orange Bowl and the 76ers halftime show.

Adrianna attended Bucknell University from 2020-2024, where she was a member of both the Bison Girls Dance Team and the Bucknell Dance Company. She served as president of the Bison Girls during her junior and senior years, leading a team of her peers and choreographing dances for their annual showcase. Additionally, Adrianna was a student director for the Dance Company and had the honor of choreographing for both their showcase and Main Stage Concerts.

Adrianna is incredibly grateful to have found DanceWorks New York City, a supportive community where she can grow as both an artist and an individual. She is excited to share her passion for dance in her DWNYC choreographer debut.
