About
Hi Everyone!
I'm a former world and national professional dance champion. I've spent over 20 years teaching ballroom dance and have had the pleasure of choreographing hundreds of first dance routines.
I've competed all over the US and abroad, worked or many celebrity projects, but nothing compares to the joy of transforming student's lives in private lessons.
Whether taking privates lessons to acquire a new skill or getting ready for your big day, you'll be surprised at how valuable dance is.
Can't wait to meet you!

Lauren is so amazing! We couldn’t recommend her enough. She was professional and responsive. She is so talented and a really great teacher. My fiancé and I have no dance experience and we’re going into our wedding feeling so excited for our first dance. And honestly it was just a fun experience overall! 10/10
