AAC, AF, ADA, SFT, YPAD
Lauren grew up in Port Moody, BC and began dancing at age 3 at the Caulfield School of
Dance under the direction of Cori Caulfield. She trained in multiple disciplines, including
Ballet, Jazz, Modern/Contemporary and Hip Hop, and quickly developed an interest as a
teenager in choreography and teaching. Lauren has been teaching since 2007 and is now
an established teacher and choreographer in the Greater Vancouver area in a variety of
different styles including AcroDance, Jazz/Lyrical, Hip Hop/Jazz Funk, and Contemporary.
She is a certified AcroDance instructor with Acrobatic Arts as well as an AcroDance
Adjudicator certified with the Acro Dance Teachers Association. She also holds
certifications with Alixa Flexibility, Sugar Foot Therapy and is a proud member of YPAD
(Youth Protection Advocates in Dance).
Lauren is an alumni of Kill the Lights Co., a hip hop dance training company based out of
Harbour Dance Centre, and has danced in various shows around the Vancouver area. She
has also danced for companies like Sonic Nation Radio and Kia, and for artists such as
Brian McKnight, Michael Buble, Charlotte Fischer, Lowkita, Jackie Valentine, and Laurell.
Lauren believes that a teacher should never stop being a student. She continues to train
when she can in Vancouver and Los Angeles and frequent workshops, conferences, and
certifications to further her education. Lauren has a passion for teaching and thrives on
watching her students grow. She hopes that she can pass along her love of this art to
inspire others to be not only the best dancer, but also the best person they can be.
