LAURA
|
Laura began studying American Cabaret Bellydance in Orlando in early 2004. She was quickly invited to join her instructor’s classical troupe, leading her down a path of creativity and passion for performing and teaching. Interested in the various stylings of the dance brought her to a modern format, fusion bellydance, and she became a founding member of a local fusion troupe.
Taking her interest to a deeper level, Laura obtained training as an instructor and has been holding weekly classes since March 2011. Laura combines her training and experience in Cabaret and Fusion bellydance styles, embracing a slinky fusion aesthetic signature to her dance company, BalaChandra BellyDance, that she calls “glossy fusion bellydance.” In addition to teaching and performing, Laura has worked as a performance makeup artist, teaching workshops in stage makeup, and also wrote the beauty and glamour column and feature articles in Yallah Magazine. Through her commitment to fitness and the benefits of conditioning to her dance practice, Laura completed certification with Barre Above® in July 2018. She teaches Barre classes as well as Barre Stretch, Bellydance, and special workshop topics. Laura is contracted as a fitness professional for Seminole County Public School district employees, offering fitness classes through a partnership with the employee wellness program. |
