In 2002 she received the highest medal in the Junior Division of the Jackson International Ballet Competition.

Also in 2002, she won the bronze medal at the Youth America Grand Prix Competition.

Black Swan
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Lane served as a "dance double" for Natalie Portman in the 2010 film Black Swan, a psychological thriller about ballet dancers in New York City.[4] In a March 3 blog entry for Dance Magazine, editor-in-chief Wendy Perron asked: "Do people really believe that it takes only one year to make a ballerina? We know that Natalie Portman studied ballet as a kid and had a year of intensive training for the film, but that doesn’t add up to being a ballerina. However, it seems that many people believe that Portman did her own dancing in Black Swan."[5][6] This led to responses from Benjamin Millepied and Aronofsky, who both defended Portman, as well as a response from Lane on the subject.[7][8][9]
Personal life
In December 2007, Lane married Luis Ribagorda, a member of the ABT's corps de ballet.[10] They reside in Jersey City, New Jersey.[10][11]
