Camryn Spero and Courtney Spero are emerging choreographers. They recently graduated from Vassar College, where they were members of the Vassar Repertory Dance Theater, performing in works by Vassar’s esteemed dance faculty (Leslie Partridge Sachs, Steve Rooks, Lisa Harvie) and guest artists (Mike Tyus, Jennifer Archibald, Shannon Gillen). Cumulatively, they choreographed eight works for the company, as well as respective evening-length dance theses. At Vassar, Camryn’s choreography, as part of her Cognitive Science thesis, was featured in the college’s annual MODfest arts celebration, for which her choreography incorporated biotechnology that measured dancers’ reactions in and to different performance spaces.

Their piece “Distance” was selected to be showcased in the Young Voices in Dance performance at the 41st Annual Battery Dance Festival in August 2022. Camryn’s work “Juncture” was selected to perform in the 2023 Young Choreographers’ Festival. Courtney’s “Until Acted Upon” was selected to perform in the New Voices in Dance concert at the New Century Dance Project festival in August 2024, where it was the recipient of the People’s Choice Choreography Award. Most recently, an excerpt from Courtney’s work “Processing” has been invited to perform at the 2025 Dumbo Dance Festival this June.

Camryn is currently based in Poughkeepsie, NY, where she mentors current Vassar Dance students and choreographers alongside professor and mentor Leslie Partridge Sachs. Courtney is based in Boston, MA, where she is a member and active choreographer in Urbanity 2. They are co-founders of Spero Dance, a choreography cohort dedicated to dissecting notions of performance through genre and musical experimentation. Their work is characterized by uninhibited dramatics and intensity, fast-paced and dynamic musicality, and the manipulation of identifiable and codified movements with isolations of the body.
