About Me!
Hi my name is Lauren! I'm from Southeastern Pennsylvania. Currently I'm studying at Oklahoma City University Ann Lacy School of American Dance and Entertainment, to earn a Bachelor of Science is Dance Management with a Minor in Business Entrepreneurship.
Performer
I began dancing at 4 years old, and have been dancing ever since. My most recent performance opportunity is with the Stars Dance Company in their productions of Holiday Spectacular! and Move!
Prior to college I was a dancer for the Lady Hoofer Tap Ensemble in Philadelphia, PA. I joined their youth ensemble in 2017, and was promoted to a youth apprentice in 2019. With the company I performed in their annual holiday show The Tapcracker, and was rehearsing to perform in their annual Spring show On Tap before the COVID-19 Pandemic. I also had the opportunity to perform with the company in the Philadelphia Fringe Festival.
Arts Manager
During my time at OCU I have had many opportunities to grow my arts management skills. Some courses I have completed include Touring Performing Arts Organizations, Production I, II, & III, Stage Management & Production, Management of Nonprofit Organizations, Development & Fundraising, and Dance Studio Management.
During Spring semester of my Junior year I had the opportunity to hold multiple positions. I was the Artistic Director's Assistant for Move! 2024, Assistant Stage Manager for the Community Dance Academy Showcase, and the Assistant Stage Manager for the OCU 2024 Commencement ceremony.
Alpha Chi Omega
I'm a member of Alpha Chi Omega Gamma Tau chapter. During my time with this organization I have learned many skills including teamwork, time management, and leadership.
I'm excited to lead the chapter as Homecoming Chair in the Fall of 2024.
