Meet the Instructor
Miss Lauren (They/She) has been dancing in a variety of styles for over 25 years. Growing up, she trained at Canty’s Dance Centre under the direction of Erin Canty, Greta Pearson and Kristin Surprise St. Laurent. While Miss Lauren has been trained in styles such as lyrical, jazz, tap, musical theatre, contemporary, hip hop, and ballroom, the primary focus of her training has been in ballet/pointe.
Miss Lauren started college at Eastern Nazarene College (ENC) with a major in Psychology, where she had the opportunity to start and lead the first ever dance ministry on campus and take classes at the Dance Studio of Braintree. With the ENC Dance Ministry, Miss Lauren taught dancers of all levels, choreographed various pieces for performances and directed two full length showcases. In 2016 Miss Lauren transferred to Bridgewater State University (BSU) where she added a minor in Dance to her studies and graduated in May 2018.
While at BSU, Miss Lauren was a member of Refined Movement, a student lead dance team on campus, who she performed with every semester and choreographed for. Miss Lauren was also in the Dance Department’s spring show Dance Kaleidoscope (2017) and in POPS! (2018), the student directed spring show. While studying dance at BSU, Miss Lauren had the opportunity to take multiple ballet classes every semester under the direction of Miss Jenifer Sarver.
These classes included various technique classes, ballet pedagogy and Ballet in the Community. Miss Lauren has had the privilege of dancing with Safe Haven Ballet (Portsmouth, NH), under the direction of Lissa Curtis, in their Third Annual Be Brave Gala as a guest artist and in their production of The Sleeping Beauty as a demi-soloist and corps de ballet member and plans to continue performing with the company in their upcoming productions.
