| Laura's Background |
| Laura began her dance training in 1985 by studying classical ballet in California. After moving back to Wisconsin, she continued her training with the Zenon and Andahazy studios in Minneapolis. In addition to ballet and pointe, Laura trained in many forms and styles of dance including jazz, tap, modern, Irish step dance, and belly dance. |

After years of training, Laura opened her own dance studio in Menomonie called "The Dance Connection", where she taught many dancers from ages 5 to 75 years young for over 9 years. She also opened the "Bay Area Dance Academy" in Ashland, where she taught for 3 years. |

Upon returning to Eau Claire, Laura began taking Fusion Belly Dance classes. After several years of training she began to teach adult belly dance, and still continues to attend workshops (re: Zoe' Jakes, Ashley Lopez, Kami Liddle) and take classes studying not only Tribal Fusion Belly Dance, but many styles of dance and physical movement.
As a performer, Laura has performed in many styles of dance. In addition to local performances, she has danced with the Northern Wisconsin Ballet and *Lynn (Modern) Dance Company at ChaliceStream (located near Ladysmith, Wisconsin).
Like many professional instructors in all genres of dance, Laura uses her extensive training in Ballet along with her Yoga experience to help dancers build a solid core from which to grow. "Dancers should build strength and confidence along with developing their belly dance technique and skills; dance should prevent injuries, not cause them." |
