More about Lauren
Lauren Willmann is originally from Dallas Texas, and she began her serious training with the International Conservatory of Performing Arts Pre-Professional Company under the direction of Geralyn Del Corso Gardner and Jamie Thompson. Her passion led her to attend numerous conventions and classes for all styles of dance all over the DFW area. She attended The Rockettes Summer Intensive in New York in 2017 and 2018. Lauren continued her higher education at Oklahoma City University where she obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Dance Pedagogy (American Dance Teacher) focusing on choreography theory, teaching ballet, tap, jazz, and dance history.
After graduating, Lauren became the Performance Team director at McKinney Dance Studio. She simultaneously was performing with season 6 of Urban Performing Company in Dallas, TX under the direction of Stevo McMaryion. She has taught classes: creative movement, pre combinations, ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, hip hop, and musical theatre to various ages at numerous studios across Texas, Oklahoma, and now the greater Chicago area! Lauren also tours across the country as an assistant teacher with the Manhattan Dance Project convention with Bill Hotaling, and The ConnXion Experience convention with Suavé. She currently trains and performs with the main branch of Hip Hop ConnXion, under the direction of Suavé.
When teaching, she emphasizes connecting music to feelings to movements. She also integrates teaching life values in the classroom such as respect, inclusivity, courage, love, and open mindedness. Her number one priority is safety in the classroom, followed closely by instilling a love for dance within each and every student. She is very excited to share her passion for dance and be a part of the Synergy team!
