Her main focus for many years was in the theater, where she blended her love for dance with the fun and glamour of the stage. Her newest passion is ballroom dancing where she gets to explore many different styles of dance including TANGO! Luckily, she also gets to combine this passion with a paycheck as she is currently employed by Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Saratoga Springs.

Laura has taught and performed Ballroom, Latin, Swing, and Middle Eastern Belly dance. She is thrilled by the opportunity to share her energy with the dancers of Tango Fusion Dance Company.
