All though Lauren has always loved to dance, she loves teaching and creating choreography even more! She began teaching at a very young age and she is very proud of her student’s accomplishments.
Her students and choreography have placed in the top 5 high point category in each competition they have attended. The accomplishments Lauren is most proud of are her multiple choreography and performance awards. These are given out at dance competitions in very small quantities to outstanding teacher/choreographers. She recently received the 2009 FDC Judges Choice Award for choreography of an acapella tap number. This award is chosen by the judges and given to the top dance out of an entire competition. To receive this award at such a young age is an honor she considers her greatest accomplishment yet.
When Lauren is not working with her own students, she choreographs for local high school drill teams and public events. Lauren continues her dance education by attending conferences such as the "Dance Teachers Summit" in New York City. She learned the latest dance techniques and styles in seminars and workshops led by top master teachers. Plus, the seminar offered studio management updates including the latest information technology and current products and services from worldwide vendors.
In addition to dance, Lauren loves cheer and tumbling. In 2008 she won the title of "World Champion" while competing with her Cheer Athletics team in Orlando, Florida. Lauren’s team competed against teams from Scotland, Mexico, England, China, Japan
