Lauren began her dance training at twenty-two months old. Coming from a dance and performing family, she was snuck in two months early of the 2 years old requirement in the Jon A. Mullin Performing Arts Company where she would spend the next 15 years in extensive classical training. From here she went on to perform in the corps with Ballet Florida and Palm Beach Opera before she decided to put her complete focus on university.

But, unable to separate herself from dance, she began training as a belly dancer in South Florida at Imperial Belly dance under the direction of Dawn Gunduz while pursuing her academic career as well. Completely taken with the dance, she went on to study with Egyptian and Turkish masters, most notably, Ozgen, Ruby Beh, Kazafy, Shalby, Jillina, Sherena and Sadie. During this period, she also started studying under Saeed and Mistri for Bollywood and Classical Indian dance.

Since 2005, she has been performing throughout North America (Atlanta, Pittsburgh, LA, Chicago) and Europe (Italy, Macedonia, Croatia) but views South Florida as her home.

She and her professional trio, Bellydance Sirens have opened for Ludacris and were part of the Top 5 RAW Artists of 2013.
